Beschreibung

Visibility Growth Rates explores the complex relationship between LGBTQ visibility in media and public life and its impact on society. The book investigates how increased representation correlates with shifts in demographic self-reporting and evolving social perceptions. While greater visibility is often seen as progress, the book argues that it's a multifaceted phenomenon. For example, increased visibility doesn't always translate to authentic representation, and can sometimes manifest as tokenism or misrepresentation.

The book provides historical context, tracing the journey of LGBTQ representation from marginalization to increased presence. It examines how different forms of visibility impact individuals and communities, emphasizing the need for nuanced and authentic portrayals. Using content analysis, statistical data, and personal narratives, the book connects to fields like media studies, political science, and sociology.

It progresses by first introducing core concepts, then examining media representation, exploring political dimensions, and correlating these with self-identification surveys. Ultimately, Visibility Growth Rates offers a critical perspective on LGBTQ visibility, analyzing its quality, authenticity, and impact.

It's a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the changing landscape of LGBTQ issues, LGBTQ rights, and social change. The book's evidence-based analysis informs strategies for promoting diverse LGBTQ representation and identifies areas where greater attention is needed to ensure all members of the community are seen and heard.

Camilla - From Outcast to Queen...

Angela Levin

For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005. 
 
 
 
Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.

The History of the Decline and...

Edward Gibbon

The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, a major literary achievement of the 18th century published in six volumes, was written by the celebrated English historian Edward Gibbon. Volume I was published in 1776, and went through six printings (a remarkable feat for its time). Volumes II and III were published in 1781; volumes IV, V, VI in 1788-89. The original volumes were published as quartos, a common publishing practice of the time.The books cover the period of the Roman Empire after Marcus Aurelius, from just before 180 to 1453 and beyond, concluding in 1590. They take as their material the behavior and decisions that led to the decay and eventual fall of the Roman Empire in the East and West, offering an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell.Gibbon is sometimes called the first “modern historian of ancient Rome.” By virtue of its mostly objective approach and highly accurate use of reference material, Gibbon’s work was adopted as a model for the methodologies of 19th and 20th century historians.
