Nefarious Crimes, Contested Justice
Author: Joanne M. Ferraro
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801889871
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Nefarious Crimes, Contested Justice also traces shifting attitudes toward illegitimacy and paternity from the late sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries. Both the Catholic Church and the Republic of Venice tried to enforce moral discipline and regulate sex and reproduction. Unmarried pregnant women were increasingly stigmatized for engaging in sex. Their claims for damages because of seduction or rape were largely unproven, and the priests and laymen that they were involved with were often acquitted of any wrongdoing. The lack of institutional support for single motherhood and the exculpation of fathers frequently led to abortion, infant abandonment, or even infant death.

AGENT of the Gentle Empire with New Technology
Author: Jonathon Barbera
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595347193
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The Gentle Empire and the insectoid hive mind are metaphors for the division and factionalism found in modern society and culture. From 1740 through 2144, the Gentle Empire drops its repetitive payloads of new technological wonders and corresponding propaganda values. Television takes center stage for a time and then it's replaced with robots and holographic projections. Finally, virtual reality makes actual reality obsolete! The competing alien empires will have to make the ultimate sacrifice and succeed against the odds even though both sides are so equally matched. Who will win? It truly could go either way. Will agents Zippity and Zappity succeed with their propaganda mission to win over the Earth or will they be thwarted by the insectoid hive mind? (This is the third volume in the Media Armageddon trilogy that began with Gorgeous Robot Flesh and The Next Paradigm for Human Living. The events in this volume occur simultaneously with the events of the previous two volumes. The three volumes can be read in any order.)

Role Theory and Role Conflict in U.S.-Iran Relations
Author: Akan Malici
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1315525925
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
U.S.-Iran relations continue to be an international security problem in the Middle East. These two countries could have been friends, but instead they have become enemies. Stating this thesis raises the following questions: Why are the United States and Iran enemies? How and when did this relationship come to be? When the relationship began to deteriorate, could it have been reversed? What lessons can be learned from an analysis of past U.S.-Iranian relations and what are the implications for their present and future relations? Akan Malici and Stephen G. Walker argue that the dynamics of U.S.-Iran relations are based on role conflicts. Iran has long desired to enact roles of active independence and national sovereignty in world politics. However, it continued to be cast by others into client or rebel roles of national inferiority. In this book the authors examine these role conflicts during three crucial episodes in U.S.-Iran relations: the oil nationalization crisis and the ensuing clandestine coup aided by the CIA to overthrow the Iranian regime in 1950 to 1953; the Iranian revolution followed by the hostage crisis in 1979 to 1981; the reformist years pre- and post- 9/11 under Mohammad Khatami from 1997 to 2002. Their application of role theory is theoretically and methodologically progressive and innovative in illuminating aspects of U.S.-Iran relations. It allows for a better understanding of the past, navigating the present, and anticipating the future in order to avoid foreign policy mistakes. Role Theory and Role Conflict in U.S.-Iran Relations is a useful resource for international relations and foreign policy scholars who want to learn more about progress in international relations theory and U.S. relations with Iran.

The Sciences of Homosexuality in Early Modern Europe
Author: Kenneth Borris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136015744
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
The Sciences of Homosexuality in Early Modern Europe investigates early modern scientific accounts of same-sex desires and the shapes they assumed in everyday life. It explores the significance of those representations and interpretations from around 1450 to 1750, long before the term homosexuality was coined and accrued its current range of cultural meanings. This collection establishes that efforts to produce scientific explanations for same-sex desires and sexual behaviours are not a modern invention, but have long been characteristic of European thought. The sciences of antiquity had posited various types of same-sexual affinities rooted in singular natures. These concepts were renewed, elaborated, and reassessed from the late medieval scientific revival to the early Enlightenment. The deviance of such persons seemed outwardly inscribed upon their bodies, documented in treatises and case studies. It was attributed to diverse inborn causes such as distinctive anatomies or physiologies, and embryological, astrological, or temperamental factors. This original book freshly illuminates many of the questions that are current today about the nature of homosexual activity and reveals how the early modern period and its scientific interpretations of same-sex relationships are fundamental to understanding the conceptual development of contemporary sexuality.

Global Human Smuggling
Author: Luigi Achilli
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 1421447525
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Completely revised and updated: an essential edited collection of essays on global human smuggling. Migrant smuggling is now more entrenched than ever in many regions around the world, with efforts to combat it both largely unsuccessful and often counterproductive. In Global Human Smuggling, editors Luigi Achilli and David Kyle bring together up-to-date contributions from a wide array of interdisciplinary scholars on the most important issues related to this global phenomenon. Contributors explore human smuggling in several nuanced forms across diverse regions, examining its deep historical, social, economic, and cultural roots as well as its broad political consequences. This volume represents a cutting-edge chronicle of the state of human smuggling today, its many complexities not easily reduced to simple moral narratives, and how researchers uncover the lives it affects, both directly and indirectly. Just as migrants cross borders for a variety of reasons, many of those involved in migrant smuggling activities have an equally diverse set of motivations and organizations, ranging from those helping people escape persecution and violence to transnational criminal syndicates preying on the vulnerabilities of migrants attempting to leave their countries. Building on the pioneering work of its previous two editions, this new volume introduces contributions organized by the themes of control, complexity, and creativity. Spanning issues around the world, the essays in this essential collection cover topics such as global migrant smuggling networks, government responses, multinational initiatives against human trafficking for sexual exploitation, representations of human smuggling in mainstream narratives of migration, and more. With nineteen new contributors, the third edition of Global Human Smuggling represents the progress of human smuggling research on every continent and offers a rare research-based and conceptual framework for the study of this critical global issue.
