Abstract

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. In this extended essay, Michael Gardiner examines the ideology of the discipline of English Literature in the light of the serious redefining work on England and Englishness that has been conducted in Political Studies in the last decade. He argues that English Literature emerges from the development of the state and that consequently it has suppressed the idea of the nation. His claim is that English Literature has lost its form since its methodology and canonicity depended so heavily on a constitutional form which can no longer be defended. He calls upon those working in English Literature to recognise that they are not really participating in the same discipline, defined by the Burkean constitutional settlement, even if they think of themselves as writing 'within the canon'. His view is that a lack of appreciation of 'hard-edged' political factors have led to a 'continuant' and regressive form of English Literature which tends to hang on to stifling methodologies. In its place, he appeals for the creation of a more open-ended, inclusive, internationalist, and comparative 'literature of England'.

Abstract

The year saw violent conflict in Ukraine and the rise of the Islamic State in parts of Syria and Iraq. A referendum was held in Scotland to decide whether to stay in the UK. Centrist parties lost ground in the European Parliament elections and a general election was held in India, the biggest ever

Abstract

Anthropologists have been keenly aware of the tension between cultural relativism and absolute norms, and nowhere has this been more acute than with regards to moral values. Can we study the Other's morality without applying our own normative judgments? How do social anthropologists keep both the distance required by science and the empathy required for the analysis of lived experiences? The plurality of moralities has not received an explicit and focused attention until recently, when accelerated globalization often resulted in the collision of different value systems.

Abstract

Famille, sociabilité, morale, travail, économie, religion, politique, environnement, etc. ? Quelles sont les valeurs qui, aujourd'hui, font sens pour les Français ? Comment ont-elles évolué depuis 40 ans ?L'ouvrage propose une analyse approfondie des opinions et attitudes des Français et permet de mesurer les tendances de fond de l'opinion publique. Il s'appuie sur la dernière vague de l'enquête internationale de référence, la European Values Study, réalisée en 1981, 1990, 1999, 2008 et 2018.Organisé sous forme d'une cinquantaine de notices courtes classées selon huit grands thèmes, il est conçu comme une encyclopédie avec un index de mots-clés. Les notices présentent les résultats de 2018 et en proposent une interprétation claire, le plus souvent en comparaison avec les enquêtes antérieures.Un ouvrage de référence indispensable, aussi bien pour les étudiants que pour les observateurs de la société, pour les professionnels du monde des médias et les acteurs associatifs, sociaux et politiques.

Abstract

"Value Change in the Supreme Court of Canada is a groundbreaking analysis of the degree to which Supreme Court decisions reflect the changing values of society over the past four decades. Focusing on three key areas of law: environmental disputes, free speech, and discrimination cases, Wetstein and Ostberg provide a revealing analysis of the language used by Supreme Court justices in landmark rulings in order to document the way that value changes are transmitted into the legal and political landscape. Bolstered by a comprehensive and nuanced blend of research methods, Value Change in the Supreme Court of Canada offers a sweeping analysis of pre- and post-Charter influences, one that will be of significant interest to political scientists, lawyers, journalists, and anyone interested in the increasingly powerful role of the Supreme Court."--

Abstract

Die Studie gilt dem System der Ideale Don Quijotes. Wenn in der weitverstreuten Cervantes-Literatur über Don Quijotes Ideale im allgemeinen viele scharfsinnige Bemerkungen gemacht und einzelnen dieser Ideale Spezialstudien gewidmet wurden, so gab es jedoch bislang keine Darstellung der Ideale in ihrer inneren Kohärenz und in ihrem inneren Zusammenhang. Diese Forschungslücke soll hier mit Hilfe eines historischen und thematologischen Methodenansatzes und unter Aufarbeitung der umfangreichen einschlägigen Sekundärliteratur geschlossen werden.
