Sinopsis

Mockery Forms examines mockery's complex role in politics and society, arguing it's more than simple derision; it's a social mechanism that both reinforces and subverts power. The book explores how different forms of mockery—from playful teasing to malicious satire—affect targets, instigators, and the public, underscoring the ethical considerations involved. Understanding these nuances is crucial because each type has varying impacts on ethical considerations, and its power to effect change. 

 
The book progresses through three sections: establishing a theoretical framework, offering empirical analysis of historical and contemporary examples, and exploring ethical implications. Case studies range from ancient political comedies to modern internet memes, illustrating mockery's enduring power. It analyzes the intent and execution of each type, as well as their respective consequences. 

 
This multidisciplinary approach, drawing from philosophy, political science, and sociology, makes Mockery Forms valuable for students, researchers, and general readers interested in the power dynamics of public discourse and the subtle art of social commentary. It offers a nuanced analysis, challenging simplistic views of ridicule in shaping our world.

Battle of Fornovo The: The...

Editors Charles River

In 1494, there were five sovereign regional powers in Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States and Naples. In 1536, only one remained: Venice. These decades of conflict precipitated great anxiety among Western thinkers, and Italians responded to the fragmentation, forevermore, of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in a myriad of ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula.
The diplomatic and military history of this 30-year period was a complex situation that one eminent Renaissance historian, Lauro Martines, has described as "best told by a computer, so many and tangled are the treatises, negotiations and battles." At the same time, the fighting went in tandem with the Renaissance and was influenced by it. Most historians credit the city-state of Florence as the place that started and developed the Italian Renaissance, a process carried out through the patronage and commission of artists during the late 12th century. If Florence is receiving its due credit, much of it belongs to the Medicis, the family dynasty of Florence that ruled at the height of the Renaissance. The dynasty held such influence that some of its family members even became Pope.
Meanwhile, plans for a French invasion were years in the making, and France’s young King Charles VIII, heavily influenced by chivalric tales and his men of finance, had begun his preparations for conquering Naples as a base from which to launch a crusade in 1491. Two key events were the catalysts for these plans. The first was the arrival of Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere at Avignon in May 1494.

Internet for the People - The...

Ben Tarnoff

Why is the internet so broken, and what could ever possibly fix it? 
 
 
 
In Internet for the People, leading tech writer Ben Tarnoff offers an answer. The internet is broken, he argues, because it is owned by private firms and run for profit. Google annihilates your privacy and Facebook amplifies right-wing propaganda because it is profitable to do so. But the internet wasn't always like this. Tarnoff tells the story of the privatization that made the modern internet, and which set in motion the crises that consume it today. 
 
 
 
The solution to those crises is straightforward: deprivatize the internet. Deprivatization aims at creating an internet where people, and not profit, rule. It calls for shrinking the space of the market and diminishing the power of the profit motive. It calls for abolishing the walled gardens of Google, Facebook, and the other giants that dominate our digital lives and developing publicly and cooperatively owned alternatives that encode real democratic control. To build a better internet, we need to change how it is owned and organized. Otherwise, a small number of executives and investors will continue to make choices on everyone's behalf, and these choices will remain tightly bound by the demands of the market. It's time to demand an internet by, and for, the people now.
