  The Social Construction of...

  The concept of social construction challenges the idea that reality exists independently of human perception. Instead, it argues that much of what people take for granted as "real" is actually the result of social interactions, shared meanings, and cultural influences. This perspective does not deny the existence of a material world but emphasizes that human understanding of this world is shaped by society. From values and norms to institutions and identities, social construction theory suggests that reality is not simply discovered but created through collective human agreement. 
  One of the foundational aspects of social construction is the distinction between objective reality and socially constructed reality. Objective reality refers to things that exist independently of human beliefs, such as gravity or biological processes. In contrast, socially constructed reality consists of meanings, categories, and interpretations that humans assign to objects, actions, and relationships. For example, money has no intrinsic value beyond the materials it is made from; its worth comes from a collective belief in its function as a medium of exchange. Similarly, concepts like race, gender, and even time are shaped by cultural and historical contexts rather than existing as fixed, natural categories.

  Cage Eleven - Prison Writings...

  Long before he became President of Sinn Féin, Gerry Adams was a civil rights activist who took part in sit-ins, marches and protests in Northern Ireland. Along with hundreds of other men, Adams was interned on the Maidstone prison ship and in Long Kesh prison – without charge or trial – during the 1970s for his political activities. Women were interned also, in Armagh Women's Prison. Cage Eleven is his own account – sometimes passionate, often humorous – of life in Long Kesh. Written while Adams was a prisoner, the pieces were smuggled out for publication.
  This updated edition includes a new introduction and sketches drawn in Cage Eleven by another prisoner at the time, Danny Devenny.
  'Offers a unique insight into … the experience of internment … an unrivalled representation of the resilience and humour that were as much a part of the life of the political prisoner as the adherence to a set of political ideals.' Irish Herald

  European Regions - Perspectives...

  At the beginning of the 21st century, the EU is facing deep political, social, and economic changes. The benefit of supranational organization is no longer obvious to European citizens and questions of legitimacy have accompanied the EU's development over the last decades. Regions - albeit often deemed »obsolete« - present themselves as stable and reliable partners in this turbulent environment: in being important objects of identification to their citizens, but also relevant political and legal entities in the EU's multilevel governance system. This edited volume asks about the role of regions and regional identity in a European Union that is perhaps struggling more than ever about its future.
