Summary

Political Comics Role explores the impactful intersection of comics, art, and politics, revealing how sequential art has served as a potent tool for political satire, social critique, and activism throughout history. The book examines how comics dissect power structures and amplify marginalized voices, influencing political events. One intriguing fact explored is how comics can transcend linguistic barriers, engaging audiences on emotional and intellectual levels, making them effective for political expression and mobilization. The book further reveals that comics challenge traditional notions of political discourse, spotlighting the importance of visual literacy in today's political landscapes.

 
The book progresses through three central themes, starting with the evolution of political satire in comics, then analyzing their use as tools for social critique, and finally, examining their influence on political discourse and activism.

 
By drawing from a diverse range of sources, including analyses of specific comic books and strips, interviews, and historical documents, the book showcases key moments where comics played a significant role. It is valuable to those interested in political science, art history, and media studies, as it demonstrates how the visual language of comics can express complex political ideas in an accessible and engaging way.

    A groundbreaking examination of a central question in international relations: Do states act rationally? 
     
    To understand world politics, you need to understand how states think. Are states rational? Much of international relations theory assumes that they are. But many scholars believe that political leaders rarely act rationally. The issue is crucial for both the study and practice of international politics, for only if states are rational can scholars and policymakers understand and predict their behavior. 
     
    John J. Mearsheimer and Sebastian Rosato argue that rational decisions in international politics rest on credible theories about how the world works and emerge from deliberative decision‑making processes. Using these criteria, they conclude that most states are rational most of the time, even if they are not always successful. Mearsheimer and Rosato make the case for their position, examining whether past and present world leaders, including George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin, have acted rationally in the context of momentous historical events, including both world wars, the Cold War, and the post–Cold War era.  
     
    By examining this fundamental concept in a novel and comprehensive manner, Mearsheimer and Rosato show how leaders think, and how to make policy for dealing with other states.

    “What happens after we die? What is the Afterlife really like? From her own perspective, Echo shares intimate insights that she has garnered from Spirit about life after death. This book is compelling, thought-provoking, and comforting.”—Chip Coffey, costar, Kindred SpiritsA Psychic's Exploration of Ghosts and How to Prevent It from Happening to You"Echo Bodine is the most genuine psychic I have ever worked with..." —Dennis William Hauck, author of Haunted PlacesWell-known psychic and ghost hunter, Echo Bodine, started seeing spirits as a young girl and has been helping to set them free for decades. Most of these spirits have one thing in common—unfinished business from their lives that leaves them restless, unable to let go and move on. Some souls choose to remain closer to this dimension rather than move into the light when they die.Here, Bodine shares her experiences and compelling investigations that have led her to see the issues from a spirit's living time on Earth which have left them restless and unable to cross over. Each story is accompanied by an exercise that will help the reader avoid the fate of a trapped, angry, or unprepared soul.Some reasons spirits haven't gone through the light include:They don't know they're dead.They are afraid of what could be waiting for them on the other side.They don't believe in an afterlife so they’re stuck in limbo.They are possessive over a person or object.They are terrified of change.How To Live a Happily Ever Afterlife is an eye-opening look at spirits—at what compels and holds them—and what you can do to avoid the same fate.

    内容简介:
    《情感话语的多维度研究——以抱怨会话为例》从社会语言学和语用学角度出发,以抱怨会话为例,对其中蕴含的情感话语进行会话分析,以探究情感话语在交际中的特征、表现,以及与框架和立场密不可分的关系。本书所分析的情感话语指含有情感信息的话语,既包括明确指示情感的情感语言,也包括隐含表达情感的情感性语言。情感话语遍布整个语言系统,是人类交际的必要组成部分。任何会话中都可能有潜在的情感话语,交际者通过情感话语来施行各种言语行为。因此,语言和情感的关系已经引起多方学者的关注,主要涵盖认知语言学、语言人类学、心理语言学、社会语言学、计算语言学、语用学等多个领域。本书选取抱怨会话中存在的大量情感话语作为特定分析对象。所用语料采集自电视剧和真人秀,包括33个不同情景和社会关系中的对话片段。鉴于会话分析在考察话语序列性和交际性方面的优势,本书将结合立场的三个方面,即对立场客体的评价(客观性)、说话主体的定位(主观性)和会话者间定位的比较(主体间性),对抱怨言语行为中的情感话语进行会话分析。

    From the start, the War on Drugs targeted Black, Brown, and Indigenous Americans already disadvantaged by a system stacked against them. Even now, as white Americans who largely escaped the fire capitalize on the legalization movement and a booming cannabis industry, their less fortunate peers continue to suffer the consequences of the systemic racism in policing and failed drug policy that fueled the original crisis. In Waiting to Inhale, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah issue a powerful call for a racial reckoning and provide a roadmap to redress this deep and abiding injustice. 
     
     
     
    Waiting to Inhale illuminates the stories of those on the front lines of the War on Drugs. As attitudes toward cannabis are shifting, now is the opportune time, Owusu-Bempah and Rehmatullah submit, to expunge cannabis convictions and make a place in the burgeoning legal cannabis market for Black and other underrepresented groups who have borne the brunt of harsh cannabis laws. 
     
     
     
    A powerful indictment of one of the worst social and political failures in the nation's history, Waiting to Inhale offers an equally powerful vision of the possibility of redemption. Communities can be rebuilt, and racist policies must be overturned in order to give way to a new era of justice
