Beschreibung

Terror vs Order examines how France and Great Britain navigated the turbulent years of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, a period that tested the limits of social order. The book contrasts the countries' responses to political violence, focusing on their legal systems and use of emergency powers. Intriguingly, while both nations faced similar threats, France often prioritized national security through centralized control, sometimes at the expense of civil liberties. Great Britain, on the other hand, generally adhered more closely to its common law traditions, emphasizing individual rights even during wartime. The book uniquely compares these divergent approaches to maintaining social order, revealing fundamental differences in their views of state power and individual rights.

 
The study begins by establishing a framework of key concepts like emergency governance and legal traditionalism. It then analyzes France's Reign of Terror and Britain's use of sedition laws, culminating in a comparative analysis that draws broader conclusions about balancing state power and individual rights. Readers gain insights into the enduring challenges of balancing national security and civil liberties, relevant for current debates on these critical issues.

Death in Custody - How America...

PhD Jay D. Aronson, MD Roger A....

Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities. In order to make a real difference and address this human rights problem, researchers and policy makers need reliable data. 
 
 
 
In Death in Custody, Roger A. Mitchell Jr., MD, and Jay D. Aronson, PhD, share the stories of individuals who died in custody and chronicle the efforts of activists and journalists to uncover the true scope of deaths in custody. From Ida B. Wells's enumeration of extrajudicial lynchings more than a century ago to the Washington Post's current effort to count police shootings, the work of journalists and independent groups has always been more reliable than the state's official reports. 
 
 
 
Mitchell and Aronson outline a practical, achievable system for accurately recording and investigating these deaths. They argue for a straightforward public health solution: adding a simple checkbox to the US Standard Death Certificate that would create an objective way of recording whether a death occurred in custody. These tangible solutions would allow us to see the full scope of the problem and give us the chance to truly address it.

Let's Go Exploring: Calvin and...

Michael Hingston

A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world.  
 
The story of a boy and his best friend ― a stuffed tiger ― was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination ― its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations ― helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.

Wyndham Lewis and British Art...

Thomas Keller

This study connects the idiosyncratic modernism of Wyndham Lewis, co-founder of the Vorticist art movement, with works of several artists from the British art rock tradition, among them Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, art-punk pioneers Wire and electronic pop musician John Foxx. By taking a transdisciplinary and intermedial approach to texts from two fields normally studied in isolation and staking out the elements of a shared modernist ethos, the book presents a new perspective on both fields relevant to scholars of literature, popular culture, and the visual arts alike. While the book rests on sound research from the fields of literary criticism, art history, and pop theory, the structure and writing of the book is fundamentally designed to be accessible and comprehensible to non-scholarly readers.
