Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10

Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10

Offering a reading of the intermarriage debate and expulsion of the foreign women in Ezra 9-10 this book engages with the production and performance of masculinities in this biblical text shifting the focus away from the 'foreign women' to the men who are the primary actors in this work. This approach addresses the diversity of masculinities and the ways in which they are implicated in the production of power relations in the text. It explores the ‘feminized’ masculinity of the peoples-of-the-lands the unstable masculinity of the golah Ezra’s performance of penitential masculinity and the rehabilitation of divine masculinity. The rejection of the marriages and the call for the expulsion of the women and children are addressed as sites on which masculinities and power relations are configured. In doing so this book sheds light on how women and the traits and performances culturally ascribed to women femininity and inferior masculinities are appropriated to produce masculinities and negotiate power relations between men. It posits that the debate in Ezra 9-10 is not ultimately about the women themselves but about bringing the masculinities bodies and practices of dissenting men under the ‘management’ of those who wield the Torah in the narrative world of the text. Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra-9-10 is of interest for scholars and students working on the Book of Ezra specifically as well as the Hebrew Bible and its world more broadly. It is also a valuable study for those working on masculinities and gender in the biblical world and ancient Near East. | Men Masculinities and Intermarriage in Ezra 9-10

Serial Killers in Contemporary Television Familiar Monsters in Post-9/11 Culture

This volume examines the significant increase in representations of serial killers as central characters in popular television over the last two decades. Via critical analyses of the philosophical and existential themes presented to viewers and their place in the cultural landscape of contemporary America the authors ask: What is it about serial killers that incited such a boom in these types of narratives in popular television post-9/11? Looking past the serial format of television programming as uniquely suited for the presentation of the serial killer’s actions the chapters delve into deeper reasons as to why TV has proven to be such a fertile ground for serial killer narratives in contemporary popular culture. An international team of authors question: What is it about serial killers that makes these characters deeply enlightening representations of the human condition that although horrifically deviant reflect complex elements of the human psyche? Why are serial killers intellectually fascinating to audiences? How do these characters so deeply affect us? Shedding new light on a contemporary phenomenon this book will be a fascinating read for all those at the intersection of television studies film studies psychology popular culture media studies philosophy genre studies and horror studies. | Serial Killers in Contemporary Television Familiar Monsters in Post-9/11 Culture

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey

Seamus Heaney’s American Odyssey describes with a new archive of correspondence interviews and working drafts the some 40 years that Seamus Heaney spent in the United States as a teacher lecturer friend and colleague and as an active poet on the reading circuit. It is anchored by Heaney’s appointments at Berkeley and Harvard but it also follows Heaney’s readings “on the road” at three important points in his career. It argues that Heaney was initially receptive to American poetry and culture while his career was still plastic but as he developed more assurance and fame he became much more critical of America as a superpower especially in the military reaction to 9/11. This study emphasizes “the heard Heaney” as much as the “writerly Heaney” by listening in on key poetry readings at different times and to recorded but unpublished lectures on American and British poets at Harvard. It includes accounts by his creative writing students aspiring poets who testify to his mentoring as well as modeling for them how one can be “a poet in the world” as he was most strikingly.

Fundamental Principles of International Relations

Fundamental Principles of International Relations

This book distills the essential elements of world politics both the enduring characteristics as well as the revolutionary changes that may be altering the very fabric of the centuries-old state system. Author J. Martin Rochester explores all the important topics that one would expect to find in an IR text (war diplomacy foreign policy international law and organization the international economy and more) but injects fresh perspectives on how globalization and other contemporary trends are affecting these issues. In addition the author does so through a highly engaging lively writing style that will appeal to today's students. Fundamental Principles of International Relations is a tightly woven treatment of international politics past and present drawing on the latest academic scholarship while avoiding excessive jargon and utilizing pedagogical aids while avoiding clutter. Rochester ultimately challenges the reader to think critically about the future of a post-Cold War and post-9/11 world that is arguably more complex if not more dangerous than some previous eras with the potential for promise as well as peril.

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

For residents living at national borders the divisions between countries are rarely black and white and often everyday interactions contribute to the creation of a cross-border region. This book examines this phenomenon in Cascadia which runs along the Canada/US border in the Pacific Northwest. Placing people at the heart of the analysis the book considers the everyday interactions and links which bind residents together and help to define Cascadia as a cross-border region. The book also assesses the impact that increased border security in the wake of 9/11 has had on border residents. Following a bottom-up approach rather than a top-down approach the book examines how border security impacts the residents’ mobility their representations of the border and potentially the existence of a cross-border identity. Drawing on extensive original qualitative and quantitative data this book will be of interest to researchers across border studies geography geopolitics and cultural studies as well as to policy-makers and other stakeholders with an interest in cross-border cooperation. | Constructing a Cross-Border Region in the Pacific Northwest The Residents of Cascadia at the Canada/US Border

Coping with Migrants and Refugees Multilevel Governance across the EU

Coping with Migrants and Refugees Multilevel Governance across the EU

This book provides a comparative overview of asylum seekers’ reception throughout Europe by adopting a theoretical framework based on an analytical approach to the notion of multilevel governance (MLG). It challenges the tendency of the MLG literature to overlook political controversies and conflicts and questions the assumption that it represents the best policymaking arrangement for promoting policy convergence. In doing so it explores the functioning of the reception component of the Common European Asylum System in centralised states and federal/regional states and analyses its implementation at both national and local levels. The book reveals the heterogeneous development of reception policies not only across Member States but also within each country where solutions adopted at the local level generally diverge substantially. Furthermore the overall centralisation of policy-making on reception regardless the institutional structure seems to leave little room for MLG arrangements tailored to specific localities and triggers tensions between central governments and local authorities. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of migration and asylum studies immigration (multilevel) global governance and more broadly to comparative politics European studies/politics and public policy.

Civil Defense in Japan Issues and Challenges

Civil Defense in Japan Issues and Challenges

In 2004 Japan instituted a system to protect citizens against military attacks and terrorism for the first time after World War II. Faced with the Tokyo subway attack (1995) the 9/11 terrorist attacks (2001) and the changing security environment in East Asia the Japanese government was forced to implement the most extensive reform of its domestic crisis management [kiki-kanri] system in the postwar era. Japan’s civil defense system is now called civil protection [kokumin-hogo]. Two world wars in the 20th century led to the development of national institutions based on civil defense in Western democratic countries (including the United States and Canada). As times have changed most countries have adopted a comprehensive crisis (or emergency) management system integrating civil defense and disaster management (against natural and technological hazards). However Japan continues to take a different path. Why has a comprehensive crisis management system yet to be formed? How do complex and fragmented institutions work? This book examines the institutions and policies of civil protection (i. e. Japan's civil defense) and further analyzes their effectiveness and issues. Furthermore it also examines the trade-offs resulting from the coexistence of two independent institutions: civil protection and natural disaster management. A valuable read for scholars of Japan’s public administration and security/ defense policy as well as for those researching and comparing disaster-preparedness across countries. | Civil Defense in Japan Issues and Challenges

Mediatised Terrorism East-West Narratives of Risk

Mediatised Terrorism East-West Narratives of Risk

This book offers an East-West comparative analysis of mediatised terrorism. This is the first country-specific analysis of the mediatisation of terrorism with Pakistan and Australia representing the two worlds respectively. Caught up in the ‘9/11 effect’ Australia is known for its anti-terror ‘hyper-legislation’ despite the implausible nature of the threat. In contrast Pakistan is plagued by terrorism yet the military establishment favours a duplicitous policy of fighting militant groups selectively. To understand how the two diverse cultural sites with their very different experiences of terrorism make sense of this unpredictable threat the book uses Beck’s World Risk Society theory as a conceptual framework to examine the production and construction of news narratives around the risk of terrorism in both countries through textual analysis of local news stories and in-depth interviews with Australian and Pakistani journalists. Narratives about ‘global terrorism’ are mostly ‘Western’ with fear of its impact on ‘Western’ democracy and civilisation. This book aims to fill the gap and present a nuanced understanding of global terrorism by examining the characteristics of the phenomenon in a Western as well as an Eastern location and the ways in which the risk of terrorism is being played out in the two worlds. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies media studies Asia-Pacific politics and International Relations. | Mediatised Terrorism East-West Narratives of Risk

Design for Emergency Management

Design for Emergency Management

Through a combination of theory practice and a range of interdisciplinary case studies this book expands how we define and think about the critical role and relationship between design and emergencies. This role extends far beyond aesthetics: the book highlights the urgency of ensuring that a wide range of stakeholders and a diverse representation of the public comes together to work towards preventing disasters. Design in the context of disasters such as earthquakes hurricanes flooding and (wild) fires provides new ways of looking at challenges. It contributes methods to actively engage communities in managing and minimizing disaster risk. Contributors present the latest research on how (collaborative) design and design thinking contribute to the development of processes and solutions to increase disaster literacy and decrease disaster risk for individuals and entire communities. Chapters highlight applied research and implementation of design and design thinking before during and after emergencies resulting in a set of design guidelines derived from best practice. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners in emergency management product and service design strategic design design research co-design social design design for change and human-centered design.

Chemical Warfare A Study in Restraints

Chemical Warfare A Study in Restraints

In the aftermath of 9/11 the potential terror of weapons of mass destruction-from nuclear biological and chemical to dirty bombs-preoccupies national security experts. In Chemical Warfare Frederic J. Brown presents a cogent innovative framework for understanding the historical forces that have restrained the use of WMD and how they continue to have relevance today. Analyzing both world wars he argues that the restraints on use were complex and often unpredictable and ranged from the political to the technological. The author offers a detailed examination of American chemical warfare policy as it was shaped by industry and public sentiment as well as national and military leaders. The organization of the book into three parts reflects the importance of battlefield experiences during the First World War and of international political restraints as they evolved during the interwar years and culminated in no first use policies by major powers in World War II. Part I examines the use of chemical weapons in World War I as it influenced subsequent national policy decisions. Part II focuses on the evolution of political military economic and psychological restraints from 1919 to 1939. Part III discusses World War II during two critical periods: 1939 to early 1942 when the environment of the war was being established largely without American influence; and during 1945 when the United States faced no credible threat of retaliation to deter its strategic and battlefield use of chemical weapons. Written at the height of controversy about the U. S. use of chemicals in Vietnam Chemical Warfare offers a valuable historical perspective as relevant now in its analysis of chemical and also nuclear policy as it was when first published. | Chemical Warfare A Study in Restraints
