Shifting Boundaries - Intersectionality and Evolution

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In a world grappling with persistent social inequalities, "Shifting Boundaries: Intersectionality and Evolution" offers a transformative perspective on understanding and addressing social justice issues. This book delves into the multifaceted nature of intersectionality, exploring its theoretical foundations, historical roots, and profound implications for social change.

Intersectionality is a framework that recognizes the interconnectedness of social identities, such as race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability. It acknowledges that individuals can experience multiple forms of oppression and discrimination simultaneously, and that these experiences are shaped by the intersection of their identities. By examining the unique challenges and opportunities that arise from these intersections, intersectionality provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of social inequality.

This book takes an innovative approach by examining intersectionality through the lens of evolutionary biology. It explores how evolutionary processes have shaped the development of social identities and the ways in which these identities intersect to create unique experiences of marginalization and privilege. This evolutionary perspective enriches our understanding of intersectionality and provides new insights into the origins and persistence of social inequality.

"Shifting Boundaries" also examines the historical roots of intersectionality, tracing its emergence from the experiences of marginalized communities and the struggles for social justice. It highlights the contributions of pioneering activists, scholars, and theorists who have shaped the development of intersectionality as a framework for understanding and addressing social oppression.

Furthermore, the book explores the practical applications of intersectionality in various fields, including education, healthcare, criminal justice, and public policy. It provides concrete examples of how intersectionality can be used to create more inclusive and equitable policies and practices.

"Shifting Boundaries: Intersectionality and Evolution" is a groundbreaking work that offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of intersectionality. It is a must-read for scholars, activists, policymakers, and anyone committed to understanding and dismantling social injustice.

复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究（英文）

苏西凤

内容简介：
《复数语法范畴的跨语言对比与习得研究》在生成语法框架内分析了复数语法范畴在汉语、英语、韩语中的共性和差异，并考察了英语母语者和韩语母语者对汉语复数语法范畴的习得情况。其中，跨语言对比研究以最简方案（Chomsky 2000, 2001; Pesetsky & Torrego 2007）的特征核查机制为理论基础，分析了汉语"们"、英语复数标记-s、韩语复数标记-tul的句法和语义异同，同时也分析了汉语量词重叠的复数义及其句法推导过程。依据特征重组假说（Lardiere 2009），二语学习者需对母语复数表征所涉及的特征集合进行拆分，进而重组出二语复数表征所需的特征集合。本书通过实证研究验证了这一假说，并深入分析了复数语法范畴习得中特征重组的方式和过程。本研究的理论意义在于深度分析了复数语法范畴在量词语言和非量词语言中的表征异同，尤其是在最简方案框架内对复数标记以及与之相关的量词和指示代词的句法推导进行了统一分析，并将理论分析所得出的特征及其组合方式应用于二语习得实证研究中，使母语迁移的内容、方式和结果更加简明清晰。实证研究结果扩展了对量词语言中复数语法范畴习得的认识，深化了对特征重组的方式和过程的了解。

The Secret to Plato's Atlantis

JOHN FRANCIS ARUNDELL

Philosophy is the study of problems concerning matters as fundamental as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BC) is said to have coined the term. Philosophical methods were applied through questioning, critical discussion, rational arguments, and systematic presentations on questions like "Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?" Major areas in academic philosophy include metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, logic, philosophy of science, and the history of Western philosophy.

The Apache - A History from...

Hourly History

The Apache became one of the best-known of all Native American peoples mainly because they were astonishingly capable guerilla fighters. They fought other Native American tribes, Spanish invaders, the authorities of the new state of Mexico and, from the mid-nineteenth century, increasing numbers of American settlers and soldiers. Under chiefs such as Cochise and Geronimo, they waged wars that struck fear into every new culture they encountered. 
It is the image of the Apache as bold and fearless warriors that has become embedded in popular culture through countless movies, television shows, and books. Yet the truth is that the Apache were far more than fighters. Their culture and society were unique, based on a philosophical approach to the environment and the animals that inhabited it that was completely different from most European incomers. Like many other Native American peoples, the Apache suffered as the United States expanded and claimed new territory across North America. They may have been effective warriors, but they were unable to resist as growing numbers of settlers supported by the US Army were drawn into the West. 
By the late nineteenth century, there were fewer than 8,000 Apache people remaining. Somehow, they survived, and their numbers rebounded; by 2020, more than 140,000 people in the United States identified themselves as Apache. This is the fascinating, complex, and sometimes tragic story of the Apache.
