Conspiracy Beliefs as Coping Behavior - Helen M Hendy - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Conspiracy Beliefs as Coping Behavior - Helen M Hendy - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book provides new answers to who and psychologically why individuals sometimes adopt conspiracy beliefs and thoughts of violence. Five conspiracy beliefs are considered: Government Malfeasance, Malevolent World Power, Extra-terrestrial Cover-up, Personal Well-being Threat, and Control of Information. Using a survey of 977 US citizens, the book compares thirteen possible demographic characteristics ( who? ) to see which ones are most associated with extreme beliefs. The book then evaluates a three-step psychological sequence ( why? ) in which individuals experiencing intense life stressors (health, money, or loneliness), combined with powerlessness (displayed as PTSD symptoms), have increased risk for extreme beliefs, perhaps because they offer a sense of understanding, strength, and community.

Assault on Mexican American Collective Memory, 2010–2015 - Rodolfo F. Acuna - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Assault on Mexican American Collective Memory, 2010–2015 - Rodolfo F. Acuna - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book uses a micro-narrative structure to explore the assault on the collective memory of Mexican Americans in the Southwest United States from 2010–2016. These communities’ survival depends on their histories and identities, which are being quickly erased by gentrification and dispersal, neoliberalism and privatization. This issue is most apparent in the education system, where Mexican American students receive inferior educations and lack access to higher education. Avoiding the overly-theoretical macro-narrative, this book uses case studies and micro-narratives to suggest possible changes and actions to address this issue. It also explores how the erasure of Mexican Americans’ history and identity mirrors society as a whole.

The Construction of Metaphoric Text and Talk - Meizhen Liao - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Construction of Metaphoric Text and Talk - Meizhen Liao - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Construction of Metaphoric Text and Talk: A Discourse Analytic Approach argues that in view of their omnipresence in human thinking and action, metaphors play a very important role in discourse construction and organization and this role can be textural and textual. In order to explore the textual role of metaphors, Meizhen Liao proposes that metaphors in discourse be treated as a complex adaptive system (CAS), which is further composed of two sub-systems, a micro one consisted of the tenor and the vehicle and a macro one made up of different metaphors. The dynamic interaction within the micro system between the tenor and the vehicle in terms of mapping, as well as among the macro system of all the metaphors in the text or talk via competition, cooperation, or complementation contributes to the construction and organization of discourse as an adaptive process in pursuit for the goal or goals of the discourse. In the process of the interaction, emergent textual patterns develop and an adequate analysis of the patterns at both micro and macro as well as deep and surface levels of discourse will shed light on the true nature and pattern of human thinking and action. The author concludes that as metaphor has become entrenched in our conceptual system the study of metaphor as a complex adaptive system in discourse be conducted in its own right.

Aggression and Bullying in Multicultural Canada - Shila Khayambashi - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Aggression and Bullying in Multicultural Canada - Shila Khayambashi - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Aggression and Bullying in Multicultural Canada: The Experiences of Minority Immigrant Girls and Young Women argues that the dominant culture in Canada segregates and ostracizes minority immigrant women and subjects them to aggression and humiliation. This book problematizes Canadian democratic racism, which facilitates the label of an outsider for minority immigrant women, even young adults, who were born in Canada. Based on extensive research in Greater Toronto Area, York Region, and Hamilton, this book explores first- and second-generation immigrant women’s experience with aggression and xenophobia in various spaces of their daily activities, as well as in different stages of their lives. These young women tolerate their parents’ post-migration frustration, abusive and neglectful school personnel’s attitude, and surrounding societal disapproval regularly. Khayambashi examines the aggression against minority immigrant women at micro, mezzo, and macro levels through a qualitative methodological approach. This book questions how directed aggression and micro-aggression would affect minority women’s identity formation and sense of belonging to their host country.

Understanding Human Conduct - Sam S. Rakover - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Human Conduct - Sam S. Rakover - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Understanding Human Conduct: The Innate and Acquired Meaning of Life presents a new and provocative model of life-meaning. The Consciousness-Meaning (CM) model is founded on two major assumptions: (a) consciousness is a necessary condition for meaning and understanding, and (b) there are two types of life-meaning, innate and acquired. The latter is divided into ordinary and extreme meanings. The CM model successfully deals with human behavior (e.g., crisis of life and suicide) as well as alternative approaches based on philosophy (e.g., existentialism) and science (e.g., evolution).

The Changing Languages of Guangxi, Southern China - Yang Huang - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Changing Languages of Guangxi, Southern China - Yang Huang - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Based on a case study of the evolution of “finish” morphemes in Yue and Zhuang Tai-Kadai, this book examines how an internal factor (grammaticalization) and an external factor (language contact) interacted to produce the polyfunctionality of the specific “finish” morphemes in the languages of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Southern China. Arguing that the Central Southern Guangxi Region is a micro-linguistic area, Huang also introduces five unique areal features shared by many of its languages.

On Extremity - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

On Extremity: From Music to Images, Words, and Experiences brings together transdisciplinary scholarship on sounds, images, words, and experiences (human and non-human) to reflect on the polysemic and polymorphic characteristics of extremity and the category of the extreme. The editors and authors aim to contribute to a living, breathing, and expanding definition of extremity that helps us understand what we gain, or lose when we interact with it, create it, and share it with, or force it upon, others. The volume calls for the emergence of “extremity studies” as an area of perusal to help us navigate our current global condition.

The Dark Side of the Criminal Justice System - Ronald L. Morris - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Dark Side of the Criminal Justice System - Ronald L. Morris - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The high rates of Black arrests and incarceration from 1960-1990 were a direct result of deliberate government policies and a zealous criminal justice system, under the patriotic umbrella of the War on Crime. This stateside war shared a lot of similarities with the Vietnam war happening simultaneously: racism and extreme cruelty towards those seen as the enemy, deprecation of the others'' culture, forceful use of a militarized police with combat experience, repeated failure to observe human rights, and mass incarceration. Unfortunately, this conflict continued long after the Vietnam war ended. This book reviews those dark times, analyzing it’s causes, short- and long-term effects, and calls for change.

Resituating Humanistic Psychology - Patrick M. Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Resituating Humanistic Psychology - Patrick M. Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In Resituating Humanistic Psychology, Patrick Whitehead and Miles Groth urge psychologists to return to the aims and goals of psychology as it first emerged. Illustrating how the field has veered from its initial conception, Whitehead and Groth trace its growth from the late 1800s to the humanistic revolution of the 1960s to the current period of social unrest. Whitehead and Groth touch on Wilhelm Wundt’s and William James’s vision for the field; the lasting changes made to clinical psychology, methods of investigation, and psychology of learning in the 1960s; and the effects of isolation, extreme connectivity, and social politics on psychology today. This book is recommended for scholars and students of psychology, history, and philosophy.

Swedish Folk Music in the Twenty-First Century - David Kaminsky - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Swedish Folk Music in the Twenty-First Century - David Kaminsky - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In applying the term "folk music" to the music they were collecting, early nineteenth-century Swedish folklorists saturated it with the cultural currency of romantic nationalism. These collectors promoted the music as the essence of the rural peasant folk, and thus of the nation; the tradition it represented was ancient, invested with the power of nature itself. Since that time, "folk music" has retained its symbolic value, while at the same time the national romantic narrative has broken down due to its being politically problematic as well as factually unsustainable. Research that has been done on rural peasant music in the intervening years reveals that it was never particularly ancient nor nationally uniform, nor truly distinguishable from "popular" or "art" musics. Swedish Folk Music in the Twenty-First Century: On the Nature of Tradition in a Folkless Nation, by David Kaminsky, examines the struggle of present-day Swedish folk musicians and dancers to maintain the cultural currency of their genre while simultaneously challenging the historical fallacies and ideological agenda upon which that currency was originally based. The notion of Swedish cultural purity once championed by nineteenth-century folklorists has been dismissed by serious scholars and now marks the discourse of the anti-immigrant extreme right, alienating it from the academic-savvy center/left-leaning folk music subculture of today. Kaminsky's study is especially relevant today, given the rise of the anti-immigrant extreme right in Sweden, and their efforts to preserve culturally "pure" Swedish folk music at the expense of existing multicultural government initiatives.

A Compassionate Conservative - James J. Kenneally - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

"We could use many more like him in our public life," was how Newsweek summed up the career of Joseph W. Martin Jr., a long-time Republican leader and chairman of the Republican National Committee and National Conventions. In this, the first full-length, scholarly examination of Martin''s career, readers will encounter a devoted public servant who often modified his party''s extreme stances on domestic matters during the Great Depression and on foreign policy issues leading up to World War II. This political biography effectively illustrates that bipartisanship does not mean abandonment of principles, that kindness, integrity, and gentility are compatible with effective leadership, and that close friendships with members of the opposing party can contribute to a more effective Congress.
