How does the outsider find community and a sense of place? Chad Bryant tells the stories of five ordinary people over two centuries who struggled to make lives in Prague, a city whose beauty masks a ...history of exclusionary nationalism. Exploring the tense interplay of cohesion and difference, Prague is a powerful meditation on the need to belong.
Double Exposure examines the role of film in shaping
social psychology's landmark postwar experiments. We are told that
most of us will inflict electric shocks on a fellow citizen when
ordered to do ...so. Act as a brutal prison guard when we put on a
uniform. Walk on by when we see a stranger in need. But there is
more to the story. Documentaries that investigators claimed as
evidence were central to capturing the public imagination. Did they
provide an alibi for twentieth century humanity? Examining the
dramaturgy, staging and filming of these experiments, including
Milgram's Obedience Experiments, the Stanford Prison Experiment and
many more, Double Exposure recovers a new set of
narratives.
In the long nineteenth century, dominant stereotypes presented people of the Mediterranean South as particularly passionate and unruly, therefore incapable of adapting to the moral and political ...duties imposed by European civilization and modernity. This book studies, for the first time in comparative perspective, the gender dimension of a process that legitimised internal hierarchies between North and South in the continent. It also analyses how this phenomenon was responded to from Spain and Italy, pointing to the similarities and differences between both countries. Drawing on travel narratives, satires, philosophical works, novels, plays, operas, and paintings, it shows how this transnational process affected, in changing historical contexts, the ways in which nation, gender, and modernity were imagined and mutually articulated.
A timely and provocative discussion of alienation as an
intersectional category of life under racial capitalism and white
supremacy
From the divisiveness of the Trump era to the Covid-19 pandemic,
...alienation has become an all-too-familiar contemporary concept. In
this groundbreaking book, James A. Tyner offers a novel framework
for understanding the alienated subject, situating it within racial
capitalism and white supremacy. Directly addressing current
economic trends and their rhetoric of xenophobia, discrimination,
and violence, The Alienated Subject exposes the universal
whitewashing of alienation.
Drawing insight from a variety of sources, including Marxism,
feminism, existentialism, and critical race theory, Tyner develops
a critique of both the liberal subject and the alienated subject.
Through an engagement with the recent pandemic and the Black Lives
Matter movement, he demonstrates how the alienated subject is
capable of both compassion and cruelty; it is a sadomasochist.
Tyner goes on to emphasize the importance of the particular places
we find the alienated subject and how the revolutionary
transformation of alienation is inherently a spatial struggle.
Returning to key interlocutors from Sartre to Fromm, he examines
political notions of distance and the spatial practices of everyday
life as well as the capitalist conditions that give rise to the
alienated subject.
For Tyner, the alienated subject is not the iconic, romanticized
image of Marx's proletariat. Here he calls for an affirmation of
love as a revolutionary concept, necessary for the transformation
of a society marred by capitalism into an emancipated, caring
society conditioned by socially just relations.
This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and holistic analysis of the socio-psychological dynamics of intractable conflicts. Daniel Bar-Tal's original conceptual framework is supported ...by evidence drawn from different disciplines, including empirical data and illustrative case studies. His analysis rests on the premise that intractable conflicts share certain socio-psychological foundations, despite differences in context and other characteristics. He describes a full cycle of intractable conflicts - their outbreak, escalation and reconciliation through peace building. Bar-Tal's framework provides a broad theoretical view of the of the socio-psychological repertoire that develops in the course of long-term and violent conflicts, outlines the factors affecting its formation, demonstrates how it is maintained, points out its functions and describes its consequences. The book also elaborates on the contents, processes and other factors involved in the peace building process.

RESUMO: O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir as contribuições teóricas de Virgínia Leone Bicudo e Neusa Santos Souza para o campo da Psicologia Social, bem como refletir sobre o modo como uma ...política de circulação dos conhecimentos científicos age de modo a resistir a essas contribuições. Metodologicamente, este artigo se orienta a partir de uma meta-análise qualitativa. Os resultados apontam que desnaturalizar a não-presença da população negra nos espaços de produção de conhecimento, trazer à tona suas produções intelectuais e, ainda, suas experiências enquanto sujeitos ativos da história, é urgente para a transformação desse cenário e, sobretudo, para uma democratização efetiva das universidades e do conhecimento. Por isso, conclui-se que as produções de Bicudo e Souza podem ser um recurso para se pensar sobre a emergência da construção de uma Psicologia Social Antirracista, rompendo com as matrizes colonialistas e as lógicas maniqueístas.

The portrayal of Greece by the international press during the financial crisis has been seen by many independent observers as very harsh. The Greeks have often been blamed for a myriad of ...international political problems and external economic factors beyond their control. In this original and insightful work George Tzogopoulos examines international newspaper coverage of the unfolding economic crisis in Greece. American, British, French, German and Italian broadsheet and tabloid coverage is carefully analysed. The Greek Crisis in the Media debates and dissects the extent to which the Greek response to the financial crisis has been given fair and balanced coverage by the press and questions how far politics and national stereotypes have played their part in the reporting of events. By placing the Greek experiences and treatment alongside those of other EU members such as Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain, Tzogopoulos examines and highlights similarities and differences in the ways in which different countries tackled the challenges they faced during this crucial period and explores how and why the world's media reported these events.
