Pykett Jessica: Governing Global
Emotions

Governing Global Emotions

Technology and The New Science of Feeling

This book explores central issues of religion in an age of globalization, questioning how religion speaks to us in contemporary society, and how representations of religion impact in popular culture. Focusing on Japanese popular culture, MacWilliams examines Japanese comic books in particular: Japanese manga or 'comic books' often explicitly deal with religion, and commercially published manga account for over 40% of total number of books and magazines published in Japan. The magic of manga lies in their potential "to dramatise and exaggerate information and simplify a complex reality", and just like the religious iconography of an earlier age, modern manga offer a powerful visual theology of sacred reality for their audience. What 'imagined selves and worlds' do manga construct? What are some of the important visual theologies that they can convey? These are some of the questions explored in this book. Historians of religion have largely ignored popular culture as a medium of religious experience and expression; yet by neglecting popular genres, such as Japanese manga, they ignore one of the principal ways people day wrestle with contemporary moral and spiritual issues. This book redresses this neglected area, raising profound religious and moral issues that are immediately relevant for those exploring Japanese religion, media and cultural studies, and anyone trying to imagine the sacred today.

Neue Bibliothek der Sozialwissenschaften

Die Gesellschaft kann nur unter den sehr beschränkten Bedingungen ihrer eigenen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten auf Umweltprobleme reagieren. Das gilt auch für Umweltprobleme, die sie selbst ausgelöst hat. Ökologische Kommunikation kann sich daher nur nach Maßgabe der wichtigsten Funktionssysteme wie Politik, Recht, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Erziehung, Religion entwickeln – oder im Protest gegen diese Systeme. In beiden Fällen besteht die doppelte Gefahr von zu wenig und zu viel Resonanz.Der AutorNiklas Luhmann (1927-1998) war zuletzt Professor für Soziologie an der Universität Bielefeld.

Dieses Buch bietet eine kompakte (und wahrscheinlich die verständlichste) Zusammenfassung der Systemtheorie. Dabei wird die Frage nach den ökologischen Risiken der modernen Gesellschaft beantwortet.

Kann die moderne Gesellschaft sich auf ökologische Gefährdungen einstellen?

Psychology, Crime and Law

This book deals with advanced issues relating to the empirical and scientific study, development and evaluation of offender profiling as an applied method for use in police investigations of homicide. It outlines the main psychological principles upon which offender profiling is based, including classification of criminal behaviour and behavioural change and consistency. The book builds on this by focussing on methodological questions relating to classifying crime scene behaviours related to homicide, linking crime scene behavioural types to offender characteristics, and linking serial homicide offences. Thoroughout the book the author is concerned to demystify erroneous ideas of what profiling is, to explain what it can offer to homicide research and investigations and to map out where the future lies in terms of key theoretical questions and practical research.

A TIMES LAW TOP LEGAL READ 2025 'A timely red alert that democratic values cannot be taken for granted' The Times'Incisive and eloquent' The Telegraph Across the globe, democracy is in crisis - in the UK alone, it has been rocked by Brexit, the pandemic and successive attempts by governments to bypass legal norms. But how did this happen, and where might we go from here? Jonathan Sumption cuts through the political noise with acute analysis of the state of democracy today - from the vulnerabilities of international law to the deepening suppression of democracy activism in Hong Kong, and from the complexities of human rights legislation to the defence of freedom of speech. Timely, incisive and wholly original, Challenges of Democracy applies the brilliance of 'the cleverest man in Britain' to the most urgent and far-reaching political issue of our day.

The Challenges of Democracy

The book will be a work of non-fiction examining the intersections of sex work, power, violence and feminism, building on an article the author wrote for n+1 on these same topics. It will examine and debunk prevalent myths of what commercial sex is and isn't; reveal sex workers not as hostages of the patriarchy, but as leaders of feminist movements; strip away the commonly accepted pillars of conversation around sex work to ask whether it's useful to frame 'sex work' as 'work' at all; and use international examples from the US, UK and elsewhere to build a picture of the current state of legislation and possible futures.

Global Security in a Changing World

The past three decades have witnessed a spectacular and unsustainable increase in the global demand for energy. This trend acquires a special significance in East Asia as a result of the region's economic growth dependency on heavy industrialization, its fragile security architecture and the traditional rejection of regional States to delegating power to supranational entities. In spite of the latter, the constitutional structures and institutions of East Asia's regional order have undergone a process of gradual reinforcement since the early nineties. This book analyzes the impact of the region's energy needs on both regional and global security and governance.

Dating apps have completely altered the way we we think and talk about our romantic lives. Swiping, situationships and shifting standards of communication have created an emotional gap between what we want and how we actually date, leading us to wonder if these apps are helping us find love, or leaving us lonelier than ever. In The Love Fix, journalist Rachel Thompson investigates how the internet shapes our expectations, self-esteem, and search for intimacy as we date online and in-person. Are 'preferences' every truly just that, or do they couch hidden prejudices? Can you feel a 'spark' when you meet someone online? How do you find meaningful connections while honouring your feelings and your mental health?Weaving personal anecdotes with ground-breaking research and interviews with real people, sociologists mental health experts, this book will help you make sense of the modern dating landscape, teach you how to confidently ask for things that work for you and provide you the tools to find the security and connections you deserve.
