Crossings and Encounters
Author: Laura R. Prieto
Publisher: Univ of South Carolina Press
ISBN: 164336085X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A collection of essays detailing how individuals remapped race, gender, and sexuality through their lived experiences and in the cultural imagination For centuries the Atlantic world has been a site of encounter and exchange, a rich point of transit where one could remake one's identity or find it transformed. Through this interdisciplinary collection of essays, Laura R. Prieto and Stephen R. Berry offer vivid new accounts of how individuals remapped race, gender, and sexuality through their lived experience and in the cultural imagination. Crossings and Encounters is the first single volume to address these three intersecting categories across the Atlantic world and beyond the colonial period. The Atlantic world offered novel possibilities to and exposed vulnerabilities of many kinds of people, from travelers to urban dwellers, native Americans to refugees. European colonial officials tried to regulate relationships and impose rigid ideologies of gender, while perceived distinctions of culture, religion, and ethnicity gradually calcified into modern concepts of race. Amid the instabilities of colonial settlement and slave societies, people formed cross-racial sexual relationships, marriages, families, and households. These not only afforded some women and men with opportunities to achieve stability; they also furnished ways to redefine one's status. Crossings and Encounters spans broadly from early contact zones in the seventeenth-century Americas to the postcolonial present, and it covers the full range of the Atlantic world, including the Caribbean, North America, and Latin America. The essays examine the historical intersections between race and gender to illuminate the fluid identities and the dynamic communities of the Atlantic world.

The Concept of Argument
Author: Harald R. Wohlrapp
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 940178762X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 499
Book Description
Arguing that our attachment to Aristotelian modes of discourse makes a revision of their conceptual foundations long overdue, the author proposes the consideration of unacknowledged factors that play a central role in argument itself. These are in particular the subjective imprint and the dynamics of argumentation. Their inclusion in a four-dimensional framework (subjective-objective, structural-procedural) and the focus on thesis validity allow for a more realistic view of our discourse practice. Exhaustive analyses of fascinating historical and contemporary arguments are provided. These range from Columbus’s advocacy of the Western Passage to India, over the trial of King Louis XVI during the French Revolution, to today’s highly charged controversies surrounding euthanasia and embryo research. Excavating foundational issues such as the purpose of argument itself (assent of an audience or critical examination of validity claims) and the contested role of argument as a generator of knowledge, the book culminates in a discussion of the relationship between rationality and reasonableness and criticizes the restrictions of ‘rational’ argument relying on fixed logical, economic or cultural criteria that in reality are mutable. Here, a true, open argument requires the infusion of Paul Lorenzen’s principle of ‘transsubjectivity’, which recognizes but transcends the partiality of the individual and which can be seen in the pragmatic and expanding consensus that humanity can control itself to safeguard the future of a fragile, damaged world.

Secret Chambers
Author: Robert Hales
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
In past decades, individuals and organizations have worked silently and steadily to weaken our freedoms and liberties. Seeking to erode the nation's sovereignty and the citizens' loyalty, they first implant socialistic and woke concepts in the minds of the rising generation to eliminate historical and foundational commitment of the rising generation. They inject their theories, concepts, and anti-American ideals into the primary, middle, and higher educational systems. Seeking removal and erosion of rights specified in the bill of rights and as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, they attack, infringe, and assault basic American privileges. Today, those who previously sought to destroy from the shadows have come into the light and are blatantly and offensively promoting what they call the evils of the Founding Fathers, the past and present actions of their concept of racists, and the inequality of opportunity in this land. Secret Chambers is an examination of the steps used to persuade otherwise freedom-loving and patriotic citizens to turn away from historically held concepts of liberty and sovereignty. By understanding their methods of operation, it is hoped that the reader will recognize a secret combination organization and sound the alarm for others to become aware of their deceptive processes.
