Sinossi

Cultural Face Dynamics explores the crucial role of “face”—the public image people try to project—in shaping social interactions across cultures. Understanding cultural face dynamics is essential, as it reveals the often-unspoken rules that govern our behavior and influence our relationships, particularly in intercultural communication. The book challenges the idea that face is a universal concept, instead arguing that its expression and interpretation vary significantly based on cultural values, drawing on classic sociological and anthropological studies.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing core concepts like positive and negative face, representing the desire to be liked and the desire for autonomy, respectively. It then examines case studies from diverse regions like East Asia and Latin America, illustrating how face concerns manifest in different social settings. Finally, it explores practical applications in international relations and business, emphasizing cultural sensitivity.

 
What makes this book unique is its interdisciplinary approach, integrating insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and communication studies to provide a holistic understanding of face.

Beneath Dark Waters - The Legacy...

Eve Lazarus

On May 28, 1914, the RMS Empress of Ireland began her 192nd trip across the Atlantic from Quebec City, Canada, en route to Liverpool, England, carrying 1,056 passengers and a crew of 423. In the early hours of May 29, fog descended on the St. Lawrence River, and the ocean liner was rammed by the Storstad, a Norwegian coal ship. In the fourteen minutes it took for the Empress of Ireland to sink, there was time to launch only four of the forty lifeboats, and rather than women and children first, it was everyone for themselves. Over a thousand people died that night, claiming the lives of more passengers than either the Titanic or the Lusitania, and the tragedy stands as the worst maritime disaster during peacetime in Canadian history. 
 
 
 
Investigative journalist and author Eve Lazarus draws on a trove of historical documents to tell the story of the wreck and its aftermath. Lazarus recounts the story from both a Canadian and a Norwegian perspective and investigates why many accounts regurgitated in newspapers and books are wrong. The result is an utterly stirring narrative that uncovers tales of heroism and sacrifice, human endurance, and modern-day shipwreck hunters. 
 
 
 
Beneath Dark Waters is an epic chronicle that restores the Empress of Ireland as well as its survivors and victims to their rightful place in maritime history.

All the Rage - Why We Feel Anger...

Josh Cohen

Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels, and white supremacists. When it materializes, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use?Drawing on case studies of patients, developments in neuropsychology, literature, philosophy, and recent political events, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen identifies the different forms of anger, including the most untrammeled and elemental fury, the more cynical anger that works towards political unrest, and the questioning anger of political protest. Rather than an emotion to ignore, he argues that anger is a primary human feeling. It maps itself onto every aspect of our intimate lives while politically and culturally shaping our world.In a time of intense dissatisfactions and spiraling divisions, and with anger a dominating force, All the Rage offers a new and original understanding of anger, so we may better handle the rage within us.
