Sinossi

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.

    With Malcolm Gladwell–like clarity, Churn captures the most commonplace tensions of life in a multifaceted democracy and how to minimize their corrosive effects in everyday life. 
      
    A pioneer of social psychology, Claude M. Steele is renowned for Whistling Vivaldi, a runaway bestseller that analyzed societal stereotypes—from beliefs about racial and gender test score gaps to the athletic prowess of Black men—and how to mitigate these “stereotype threats.” In Churn, he coins a new term to identify “the agitation we can feel in diverse settings,” such as everyday exchanges between teachers and students; police and the public; managers and employees; parents and children; and strangers, or even friends, of different sexes and races. Steele braids together psychological research with his own biracial life story, demonstrating how initial wariness between people of different identities is as much a product of our history as of our biases. Through brilliant analysis Churn reveals how trust building can be a fresh and surprisingly powerful strategy for mitigating these tensions in the real-life settings of our lives and for realizing the full potential of our multiracial, multiethnic, multi-classed democracy.

    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
    An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are Oliver Cromwell, the only ruler of England who was neither a king nor a queen, Daniel O'Connell— "The great Irish Liberator"— and Catherine the Great, empress of Russia for thirty years, describes her lifelong passion for her adopted country— and refuses to apologize for her more notorious passions. Though all three of these giants suffered ignominious treatment in death, their dramatic interactions offer an exciting climax to this intellectually stimulating series.

    Can gender stereotypes in childhood be more destructive than our culture perceives and stand in the way of gender equality? 
     
     
     
    When Jodi Bondi Norgaard, an experienced entrepreneur, attempted to shake-up the toy industry with a sports doll that appeals to today's more athletic, adventurous girls, she came to realize the roadblocks to success weren't only reluctant toy buyers, but a patriarchal culture that perpetuates gender roles and sexism. More Than a Doll is about her mission to break gender stereotypes and challenge the status quo. 
     
     
     
    Through illuminating testimonials, data, research, interviews, and cultural observations, listeners will come away with clear examples of the dangers of early gender stereotyping and how we continue to fail to see the harm. 
     
     
     
    After all: "It's just a toy." "It's just a t-shirt." "It's just a show." 
     
     
     
    Bondi Norgaard is sounding the siren that gender inequality doesn't begin in our teens, it begins the moment a child can hold a toy or book or watch a screen. The programing starts early, and the impact is lifelong.

    Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by local resident and tour guide Mark R. Jones, explores the dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the Charleston of today. 
     
     
     
    A beautiful Southern city distinguished by its opulent homes, towering church steeples, and hospitality, Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is another side that most visitors and residents would dare not believe is part of the very fabric from which the city's history was woven. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader back to a time when "drinking, eating, and whoring with more than fifty wenches" was perhaps more common in the Holy City than one may imagine.
