Law, Politics And Family In 'The Americans'

106,00€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This special issue offers an academic analysis of the television series <em>The Americans </em>as a reflection of current social and political trends across the United States. Uncovering the inseparability of the political and the personal through the lives of the central characters, authors consider how their performance challenges our ability to differentiate between the authentic family, the legitimate source of social reproduction and the counterfeit one that disrupts the social order.</p><p>Focusing on how television’s shift away from the traditional nuclear family is crucial to understanding the relatively rapid acceptance of same-sex marriage in mainstream politics, authors invite consideration and acceptance of alternative family forms that are often represented within LGBTQ communities. Pairing the series with scholarship on criminal law, contributors also delve into how <em>The Americans </em>provides an opportunity to reconsider the significance of the "pro-family" label to New Right organizing, the importance of mothering to this narrative and the relationship between this account of mothering and democratic citizenship more broadly. Drawing on the concept of legal consciousness to examine the relationship between identity and hegemony, chapters also consider how the enactment of legal beliefs and values help individuals to form identities, as well as how these are constrained by popular ideology.</p><p>Interpreting this television series through a socially charged lens, <em>Law, Politics and Family in ‘The Americans’</em> offers a compelling insight into the legal and cultural undertones of family dynamics, as well as those at the heart of conservative American politics.</p>

Human Dignity

98,04€ + 10% CARD

 <p>This special issue investigates the meaning of justice and dignity and how they have changed over time. What do we mean by human dignity? How do we understand and interpret that meaning? How has it evolved?</p><p>Showcasing a selection of papers responding to this critical central question, the authors delve into issues such as the foundational roles of justice and dignity in practical philosophy and the idea that human dignity must be understood as the right to be recognized as a participant in the institutional practice of human and fundamental rights, analysing how this modern conception was incorporated into the practice of human rights after Auschwitz as a response to a crisis in the modern model of the practice of rights. Furthermore, the authors study examples of misinterpretation of the philosophical term and historical concept of human dignity in contemporary legal theory and practice alongside Kant’s notion of human dignity, that is understood as a novel ‘care of the self’. Self-violation of dignity and the exposure to violation by others - thoughtlessly or intentionally - gives way to an exploration of the language of anti-violence activists, university coordinators, and due process activists concerned with Title IX and campus sexual violence.</p><p>Providing a comprehensive look at historic and contemporary meanings of human dignity, this edited collection is an appealing read for scholars interested in the intersection of dignity with philosophy, law, human rights, legal theory, social theory, and more.</p>

This volume is an appealing read for anyone interested in rich contemporary conversations around legal personhood, and in interrupting and interrogating assumptions which we may take for granted.</p>
