Book Synopsis From Pariah to Phoenix by : Matthew Q. Clary
Download or read book From Pariah to Phoenix written by Matthew Q. Clary and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, one of the most commonly cited threats to international has been the existence of rogue states, so-called because they actively defy many of the rules and norms of international politics that have been established to bring order to the international system. While it is well known how such states become designated as pariahs, it is less clear how such states might be re-socialized into the international community short of a forced military intervention and regime change. How can a state designated as a rogue rehabilitate their national reputation among members of the international community? How are members of the international community to know when such states undertake meaningful attempts at improving their reputational status? This book develops a theory of reputational improvement that combines elements of existing theories on reputation in international relations with aspects of a growing literature on nation branding and public diplomacy that will show how pariah states might go about improving their reputations and more importantly, convincing others that they are no longer deserving of the designation of being treated as a deviant state

Book Synopsis Gender-Based Violence in the Global South by : Ramona Biholar
Download or read book Gender-Based Violence in the Global South written by Ramona Biholar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book amplifies the different voices and experiences of those facing gender-based violence (GBV) in the Global South. It explores the localised ways in which marginalised individuals design modes of coping with and address GBV, including cultural interpretations, and artistic and faith-based expressions. The book examines GBV triggers, prevalence, and societal impacts while referring to community, national, and regional mobilisation to deal with the phenomenon in its various manifestations, including physical, psychological, political, domestic, and public violence. It explores issues related to women’s negotiations with the patriarchal underpinnings of GBV; the role of the law and history in the perpetuation of GBV; the complementary role of culture and faith to legal protection against GBV, and access to justice for women and girls. In doing so, the book exposes understandings and expressions of GBV, as well as methodologies and indigenous initiatives to prevent it through local viable solutions. The book thus challenges the normalisation of GBV in the Global South. Providing concrete and culturally relevant suggestions for challenging ingrained models of gender understandings of violence in the Global South, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of Development Studies, Gender Studies, Women’s Studies, Violence and Abuse Studies, Human Rights, Criminal Law, and Socio-Legal Studies.

Book Synopsis Explorer's Guide to Genesis by : Bryce Neuberger
Download or read book Explorer's Guide to Genesis written by Bryce Neuberger and published by NeuBooks. This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that allows players to adventure in the pre-flood mythological world of Pangea compatible with Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition ruleset. INTRODUCTION: The World is ending… The gods are angry… The people want blood. Welcome to the Genesis Campaign Setting, a prehistoric world of violence and blood. A group of powerful beings called The Watchers were supposed to guide the world but instead fell in love with all it had to offer. Their offspring, the gods, war with these Titans and have set themselves up in various regions as separate pantheons of deities over the mortals. Dragons and Dinosaurs roam Pangea devouring the mixed blooded races all the while there is a prophecy of the world coming to an end, drowned in death. The world is young, only a few centuries past its first millennium. Magic is wild, powerful, and supernatural. The citizens of the world are violent, hardy, and bestial. The powers of good and evil are at a constant war. Paradise and Sheol are physical places in this world, as are Elysium, and Valhalla. From the six fingered frost giant Thor and his mighty hammer Mjollnir, to the half-blooded Nephilim Hercules and the fire breathing Leviathan Lotan, many legends have found their place in Pangea. A side note of historical and religious accuracy: Have you ever wondered if the myths of the ancients were based in fact? Have you ever wondered what the prehistoric pre-flood biblical world would look like in light of works such as the Book of Enoch and the Epic of Gilgamesh? As a religious studies major, I do not believe that this setting will be 100% accurate to what the biblical creation theory suggests, but all works herein are created with a sense of “What if?”. What if Thor and Zeus and these deities were actually the “Men of Great Renown” mentioned in Genesis Chapter 6. What if the Titans that battled and birthed the gods are these Nephilim mentioned in scripture and referred to as Titans by the Greeks. Creative license is obviously taken to create a fun campaign setting, but I hope this inspires all who play with a sense of wonder. What if this setting isn’t as fantastical as we think?
Book Synopsis The Historic Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix by : Larry Upton
Download or read book The Historic Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix written by Larry Upton and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phoenix's Manzanita Speedway, the last of the big dirt tracks located near the central corridor of a major metropolitan area, is now gone. The track opened in the early 1950s when Jack Holloway, president of the Arizona Jalopy Racing Association, along with Avery Doyle and Gene Gunn, set about convincing Rudy Everett and Larry Meskimen to convert their unprofitable dog-racing operation into a quarter-mile dirt track. On August 25, 1951, Everett and Meskimen beamed with excitement as Manzy opened to an overflowing crowd. They had tapped into America's post-World War II craze for automobiles and found their own Lost Dutchman Gold Mine in the process. Manzanita Speedway dominated dirt-track racing in Phoenix and was heralded as one of the top five dirt tracks in the United States. Manzy became an integral part of the racing culture in Phoenix, and its sale and closure in 2009 created a sense of lingering disappointment.

Book Synopsis The Anger of Achilles by : Leonard Charles Muellner
Download or read book The Anger of Achilles written by Leonard Charles Muellner and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonard Muellner's goal is to restore the Greek word for the anger of Achilles, menis, to its social, mythical, and poetic contexts. His point of departure is the anthropology of emotions. He believes that notions of anger vary between cultures and that the particular meaning of a word such as menis needs to emerge from a close study of Greek epic. Menis means more than an individual's emotional response. On the basis of the epic exemplifications of the word, Muellner defines the term as a cosmic sanction against behavior that violates the most basic rules of human society. Virtually absent from the Odyssey, the term menis appears in the Iliad in conjunction with the enforcement of social rules, especially the rules of reciprocal exchange. To understand the way menis functions, Muellner invokes the concept of tabu developed by Mary Douglas, stressing both the power and the danger that accrue to a person who violates such rules. Transgressive behavior has both a creative and a destructive aspect. Muellner draws on the method of mythical analysis developed by Pierre-Yves Jacopin. He applies the restructured definition of menis to the anger of Achilles in the narrative of the Iliad, tracing the moral issues that motivate cosmic anger and, finally, exploring the transformation of menis into the social term that is explicitly named as its opposite: philotes, or friendship.
