Full textAbstract:
Home and human rights appear as interwined categories in narratives related to migration. However, these two categories have not been amply explored as proximate matters in any migration related texts such as Registän Diary. Home is not only a place for dwelling with varying frameworks but also many other things like a space, a feeling and a will to belong. Having a home, a place to dwell and belong, is one of the basic rights of human, specifically in line with the view that human rights are rights held by individuals simply because they are part of the human species regardless of their sex, race, nationality, and economic background. In this paper, the researcher, remaining within the paradigm of qualitative research, draws ideas from the scholars alike Pico Iyer, Salman Rushdie, Shalley Mallet, Lynn Hunt, Joseph R. Slaughter, examines the life narratives of the labour migrants to the Gulf from Nepal, argues and concludes that be it through the multifaceted depiction of home or cases of human rights abuse, Registän Diary negotiates a free belonging for all the citizens in a secure world.

Full textAbstract:
The writers outline a double procedure for meetings: one procedure deals with general administrative matters and the second procedure concentrates on “allowing ideas to come” about problems using the process of “free association” of ideas. Willings and Chamberlain provide details of a number of brief case-studies of under-achieving pupils who were helped by their mentors after “case conferences” which relied on “free association” of ideas. In addition mentors themselves were often helped to resolve their own problems through insights derived from the meetings.

Full textAbstract:
The “manosphere” is a constellation of masculinist social media communities loosely unified by an anti-feminist worldview. Although extant journalism and social media scholarship successfully delineate the manosphere as a significant social problem by associating it with misogynist cybercrime and cyberhate, the resulting narrative simplistically pathologizes manosphere discourse while leaving its misogyny undertheorized. In this article, I complicate this emerging narrative by demonstrating how a certain central manosphere discourse qualitatively overlaps with a broader neoliberal ideology. I do so by further developing a critical discourse analysis of quasi-representative manosphere documents drawn from “The Red Pill,” a sub-forum of Reddit.com. Although this forum is explicitly devoted to discussing heterosexual seduction strategies, I find that it also produces a discursive means for fiscally conservative men to reconcile their pro-capitalist economic beliefs with apparent evidence of capitalism’s destructive tendencies and contradictions. This forum’s anti-feminist discourse implicitly parallels Marxian theory while explicitly supporting free market capitalism and denigrating women, thereby providing men with a linguistic and conceptual framework to scapegoat women for economic problems while leaving neoliberal ideas and assumptions unchallenged.

This paper discusses a three-year radio project Cathode Immersions, which was aired on 2SER in Sydney Australia. The audio that accompanied free-to-air television was remixed and rebroadcast in real time without latency. It explores the human and non-human aspects of the convergence of these two media, introducing ideas of xenocasting and media adjacency. The weekly xenocast of Cathode Immersions afforded unique translations of cultural narratives, from commentary on the Gulf War to machinic perspectives on the desires that surround commercial broadcasting.

In 2015, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was said to have set in motion a regional community with “peace, prosperity, and people” at the core of its transition towards deeper integration. In 2017, it marked its 50th year - a narrative arc in Southeast Asian history that has arguably defined the region’s contemporary period. What then could be the next for the organization? This paper explores one of those ideas that has been floating around about ASEAN’s future in relation to its people-oriented vision. In particular, it enquires into the abstracted and non-legal notion of “ASEAN citizenship” through identification of conjunctures in the development of the organization. While ASEAN’s lack of a legitimating policy on regional citizenship is understandable given its normative frameworks of intergovernmentalism and non-interference, the paper contends that this notion has already been discursively defined and constructively pursued from within the organization. The resulting narratives on regional identity formation and on ideas and institutions that articulate and generate potential elements of regional citizenship seek to capture aspects of this slippery yet lingering presence of “ASEAN citizenship,” and hopefully contribute to the evolving conversations on the nature and future of ASEAN as it enters a new era.

Abstract. This paper aims at exploring neoliberalism where it has been internalised and normalised as "neoliberal subjectivity''. Based on a Foucauldian discourse perspective, it analyses narrative interviews with young Swiss adults focusing on their life plans and their aspirations for the future from a gender perspective. The analysis documents a pronounced discourse of individualisation. The subjectivity of the interviewees is characterised by ideas of difference, free choice and individualised responsibility for biographical decisions and their consequences. The article uses the example of the interviewees' narratives on reconciling work and family to illustrate how the discourse of individualised responsibility works in detail and in which respects it constitutes "neoliberal subjectivity''. This Swiss study reveals how the neoliberal self-concepts of the young adults absolve the state, municipalities and employers of responsibility, transferring it to the individual. Consequently, gendered social inequalities are framed as the sole result of individual preferences and thus privatised.

AbstractMuch of the written evidence for Greco-Roman associations provides information about meeting frequency, group activities, venues for gathering, and membership requirements. At the same time, many inscriptions and papyri also contain short narratives that directly contribute to the common identity of the association. These narrative elements often take the form of a vision, a dream, or an oracle that a patron receives that encourages him or her to found the association or direct its practices in some way. I suggest in this article that many of Paul's audiences would have received his story about encountering the risen Christ as rather commonplace given the frequency of these similar claims among voluntary associations. In other words, the article explores how Paul's (mainly non-Judean) audiences would have slotted his claims into their cultural repertoire of ideas, especially if they considered his Christ group to be just like the many other associations with which they were already familiar. Association inscriptions offer an important collection of examples that can be analyzed alongside Paul's claim to have seen the risen Christ.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the ways in which ideas of ‘the tragic’ function in recent narratives of contact history in Australia. ‘Contact history’ is used here to refer to first and second generation contact between Aboriginal people and the European invaders in Australia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and I shall be primarily concerned with those historical narratives which attempt to ‘re-write’ history to include Aboriginal responses during this period. Within Australian historiography this project is said to have commenced in the 1970s, prompted by wider events in the Australian community such as the Aboriginal land rights movement (Curthoys 1983, 99). One of the best-known contributors to this project of inclusion has been Henry Reynolds, now the author of eight books dedicated to it. I shall be examining two of Reynolds' most recent contributions to this area: With the White People (1990) and The Fate of a Free People (1995). At the same time that Reynolds and other professional historians have engaged in this project, there has been an increasing body of work by Aboriginal writers — much of it classified as fiction rather than academic historiography — examining these same themes of initial contact and resistance to invasion. In order to clarify some of my arguments about the function of the tragic mode in Reynolds' work, I shall also discuss a recently published short story by the Aboriginal writer, Gerry Bostock.

Full textAbstract:
In Western languages those affected by crime are universally labelled as ‘victims’, meaning the sacrificed ones. According to the author this practice seems to originate from the association of the plight of victims with the suffering of Jesus Christ. In his view, the victim label, although eliciting compassion for victims, assigns to them a social role of passivity and forgiveness that they may increasingly find to be restraining. He analyses the narratives of eleven high-profile victims such as Natascha Kampusch, the couple McCann and Reemtsma to illustrate this thesis. The article continues with a critical review of biases deriving from the unreflexive adoption of the victim label in various schools of thought in victimology and criminal law. Finally, the author argues for the introduction of stronger procedural rights for crime victims in criminal trials and for a new focus within victimology on processes of victim labelling.

Este estudo, situado num paradigma de investigação psicanalítico, procurou compreender as ligações entre a subjectividade materna e a cultura, aqui entendida enquanto constituinte psíquico, sob a forma de espaço intermediário. Através do método das narrativas de livre associação de ideias, procuramos compreender as ligações acima referidas, numa mulher Cabo-verdiana, tendo sido promovidos três encontros; dois, antes do bebé nascer e, outro, 6 meses após o nascimento. A análise das narrativas e a respectiva discussão permitiram dar conta das transformações psíquicas decorridas ao longo deste processo e a articulação entre estas e a cultura. Decorrente da especificidade da subjectividade, encontramos, nesta mulher, a possibilidade de reflectir sobre o impacto das representações culturais inconsistentes nas transformações psíquicas ligadas à subjectividade materna e ao processo de tornar-se mãe. ------ ABSTRACT ------- Becoming mother is the expression used to think about women who become mothers, inevitably, involved in profound psychic changes that are recreated in the specificity of maternal subjectivity. This study, set in a paradigm of psychoanalytic research, sought to understand the links between maternal subjectivity and culture, understood here as a psychological constituent, in the form of intermediate space. Through the narratives of free association of ideas, we seek to understand the links described above, on a Cape Verdean woman, having been promoted three encounters; two, before the baby is born, and another, 6 months after birth. The analysis of the narratives and the related discussion allowed to highlight the psychic transformations throughout this process and the relationship between them and the culture. Resulting from the specificity of subjectivity, we found in this woman, the opportunity to reflect on the impact of inconsistent cultural representations in maternal subjectivity and in the becoming mother process as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Lobbying should be strictly regulated – that is the major finding of this thesis. The thesis presents many reasons to enact stricter regulations. The principle one being that, as lightly regulated as it is, lobbying is corroding democracy in both Canada and the United States.
The thesis opens with a deep investigation of how lobbying works in both countries. There are examples taken from the literature, as well as original qualitative interviews of Canadian lobbyists, former politicians, and officials. Together, these make it clear that there is an intimate relationship between lobbying and campaign financing. The link between the two is sufficiently tight that lobbying and campaign financing should be considered mirrors of each other for the purposes of regulatory design and constitutional jurisprudence. They both have large impacts on government decision-making. Left lightly regulated, lobbying and campaign financing erode the processes of democracy, damage policy-making, and feed an inequality spiral into plutocracy. These have become major challenges of our time.
The thesis examines the lobbying regulations currently in place. It finds the regulatory systems of both countries wanting. Since stricter regulation is required to protect democracy and equality, the thesis considers what constitutional constraints, if any, would stand in the way. This, primarily, is a study of how proposed stronger lobbying regulations would interact with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, s. 2 (free expression and association rights) and s. 3 (democratic rights). The principal findings are that legislation which restricted lobbying as proposed would probably be upheld by the Canadian court, but struck down by the American court, due to differences in their constitutional jurisprudence. The thesis contends that robust lobbying regulations would align with Canadian Charter values, provide benefits to democracy, improve government decision-making, increase equality, and create more room for citizen voices.
The thesis concludes with a set of proposed principles for lobbying reform and an evaluation of two specific reforms: limits on business lobbying and funding for citizen groups. Although the thesis focuses on Canadian and American lobbying regulations, its lessons are broadly applicable to any jurisdiction that is considering regulating lobbying.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA - Instituto UniversitárioNo processo de tornar-se mãe há sempre grandes transformações psicológicas, tanto conscientes como inconscientes e a amamentação faz parte do processo, pode ser vivido com maior ou menor intensidade para que a mulher se constitua como mãe. Durante estas alterações muitas condições podem promover uma melhor ou pior adaptação ao processo de tornar-se mãe. Uma dessas condições é o processo de migração, onde nem sempre o país acolhedor é o destino ideal, mas o destino possível. Nesta condição uma mulher que esteja a amamentar e passe por um processo migratório tem udas grandes mudanças a acontecer na sua vida. Este trabalho pretende ir ao encontro das dinâmicas intrapsíquicas de uma mulher que está no processo de tornar-se mãe, e em particular durante o aleitamento materno exclusivo e se encontra deslocada do seu país de origem. Através da psicologia clínica transcultural e em particular da teoria psicanalítica, dos seus pressupostos da livre associação de ideias e da escuta flutuante, formulou-se uma investigação qualitativa exploratória, através do método da Narrativa de Livre Associação de Ideias (FANI- Free Association Narrative Interview). A forma de recolha de dados foi um encontro intersubjectivo, onde as subjectividades do investigador e da entrevistada promovessem uma relação promotora de transformação e criação. A entrevista foi gravada, posteriormente foi transcrita e lida em grupo e os dados recolhidos foram analisados através do método FANI, promovendo-se dentro d grupo um espaço mais alargado de intersubjectividade. No final deste trabalho procurou-se compreender como esta mulher, que se encontra deslocada do seu país de origem, vive a amamentação, nomeadamente, nas temáticas, de identidade, da relação com o bebé e na relação com o corpo.
ABSTRACT: In the process of becoming a mother there are always great psychological transformations, both conscious and unconscious, and breastfeeding is part of the process, it can be lived to a greater or lesser extent so that the woman becomes a mother. During these changes many conditions can promote better or worse adaptation to the process of becoming a mother. One of these conditions is the migration process, where the welcoming country is not always the ideal destination, but the possible destination. In this condition a woman who is breastfeeding and going through a migratory process has some great changes to happen in her life. This work intends to meet the intrapsychic dynamics of a woman who is in the process of becoming a mother, and in particular during exclusive breastfeeding and is displaced from her country of origin. Through transcultural clinical psychology and in particular psychoanalytic theory, its assumptions of the free association of ideas and floating listening, an exploratory qualitative research was formulated through the Free Association Narrative Interview Method (FANI). The form of data collection was an intersubjective meeting, where the subjectivities of the researcher and the interviewee promoted a relationship of promotion of transformation and creation. The interview was recorded, later transcribed and read in a group and the collected data were analyzed through the FANI method, promoting within the group a wider space of intersubjectivity. At the end of this work, we sought to understand how this woman, who is displaced from her country of origin, lives breastfeeding, namely, in the themes, identity, relationship with the baby and in relation to the body.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada no ISPA - Instituto Universitário para obtenção do grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia ClínicaO presente estudo visa contribuir para a compreensão da vivência subjetiva (intra e interpsíquica) do sujeito transexual e avaliar o impacto das alterações corporais inerentes ao Processo de Redesignação Sexual. Foram realizadas duas entrevistas, com o espaçamento de um ano entre elas, seguindo o Método de Narrativas de Associação Livre (Hollway & Jefferson, 2000), a um participante do género masculino em processo de redesignação para o género feminino. A análise das narrativas, orientada pelos postulados teóricos da metodologia proposta, revela que a transformação corporal consiste numa solução defensiva e radical face a um ataque e depreciação da masculinidade do sujeito, levando-o a constituir uma identidade de superfície feminina que recobre a identidade e permite a continuidade psíquica. A transformação corporal ganha sentido na fantasia de um “renascer”, com o propósito de varrer da consciência um passado doloroso e remeter as suas experiências ao esquecimento. A nova “etapa”, retratada e marcada no corpo, inspirada na fuga e no desespero, constitui a derradeira tentativa de proteger um território psíquico na iminência de desaparecer. O corpo torna-se palco de transformações sucessivas que parecem intensificar a estranheza da experiência corporal e gerar uma maior e perigosa desorganização psíquica.
ABSTRACT: The present study aims to contribute to the understanding of the subjective experience (intra and interpsychic) of the transsexual subject and to evaluate the impact of the corporal changes inherent in the Sexual Reassignment Process. Two interviews were carried out, with the spacing of one year between them, following the Free Association Narratives Method (Hollway & Jefferson, 2000), to a participant of the masculine gender in the process of redesignation to the feminine gender. The analysis of the narratives, guided by the theoretical postulates of the proposed methodology, reveals that the corporal transformation consists in a defensive and radical solution to an attack and depreciation of the masculinity of the subject, leading him to constitute a feminine surface identity that encases the identity and allows for psychic continuity. Corporal transformation makes sense in the fantasy of a "rebirth", with the purpose of wiping from consciousness a painful past and remitting its experiences to oblivion. The new "stage," portrayed and marked in the body, inspired by escape and despair, is the ultimate attempt to protect a psychic territory in the imminence of disappearing. The body becomes the stage of successive transformations that seem to intensify the strangeness of bodily experience and generate a greater and dangerous psychic disorganization.

Abstract This chapter uses as a case Spanish cities such as Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Bilbao, Seville, Valencia and Barcelona, to explore the role that degrowth social movement actors and ideas have played in protest action directed at the tourism sector in recent years. The authors identify important episodes of contestation in which degrowth activists have been present. Particularly after 2015, the Neighbourhood Assembly for Sustainable Tourism, a degrowth-inspired association made up of grassroots organizations, assemblies and groups, has made several efforts to reduce the flow of tourists to Barcelona in an attempt to reverse the damaging social, economic, cultural and environmental effects that mass tourism is having on the city. In its attempt to explore various degrowth issues, the chapter sets out a conceptual framework that draws from key literature in the field of political discourse analysis, Althusserian treatment of ideology and interpellation, and work on degrowth and tourism.

The Introduction provides an overview of the book’s arguments, methodology, and archive. During the 1970s, in prisons and in the “free world” outside their walls, radical women forged an organized resistance to the gendered and racialized violence of the U.S. carceral state. All Our Trials traces the making of this anticarceral feminism at the intersections of struggles for racial and economic justice, prisoners’ and psychiatric patients’ rights, and gender and sexual liberation. Drawing on extensive archival research and first-person narratives, the book explores the organizing, ideas, and influence of activists who placed criminalized and marginalized women at the center of their antiviolence mobilizations.

After 9/11, the upsurge of the Internet and intensification of mass media has provided Afghans with access to a global information highway of new perspectives, narratives, ideas, and images. Global connectivity has likewise brought with it cultural challenges over meaning. Within these digital spaces, the politics of ideological warfare ensue for the battle of representation and signification, which are inevitably interlinked to questions of power and powerlessness. Within this digital space of ideological contestation, I explore the power of the Afghan Women's Writing Project and its ability to empower women to bear witness and share their geographies of pain. Moreover, I demonstrate how AWWP operates as a social media democratizing campaign meticulously employing Western feminist rhetoric to shape Afghan cultural and social systems and subvert opposing Islamic forces that attempt to undermine protections against women and principles of free market democracy.

This chapter reviews attachment parenting (AP) through the lens of black mothers' experiences and draws attention to the philosophy's place in neoliberal parenting culture. It highlights how ideas about good parenting deploy or elide race, class, and gender at different moments and for different, sometimes contradictory, purposes. It also talks about ideologies of good parenting that intend to be free of gender, class, and race but identify women as uniquely responsible for children's wellbeing. The chapter explains how AP offers a unique constellation of raced, classed and gendered effects as it draws from monolithic 'primitive' cultures and rests on a taken-for-granted family form in which mothers are financially supported to stay at home. It recounts the narratives of the black women that demand an analysis of parenting that addresses the differential effects of racism and unequal access to resources.

Women’s and gender historians over the last fifty years have not suffered such physical horrors, they have had to test their mettle on the scholarly battlefield of Civil War history. Theirs has been a dogged fight in the face of strong opposition to gendering a past that traditional historians and popular culture have preferred to see as great battles between great men. Newer narratives that document white and black women’s resistance, agency, and leadership across the Civil War era have been contesting these persistent older accounts for several decades. Recently historians have disputed traditional historical approaches even more rigorously by exposing the cultural meanings of gender during wartime. They have argued that ideas about masculinity and femininity shaped Civil War political discourse, social thought, and economic roles, ultimately affecting the nature and outcome of the war. The Southern Association for Women Historians (SAWH) has long been a critical locus of support for these scholars who are challenging outmoded conceptions of the Civil War that emanate from within the profession and across mainstream American media and culture.

Full textAbstract:
Many Academics Who are troubled by the growing power of administrators on their campuses believe that their jobs are protected by tenure and their campus activities by academic freedom. Hence, they believe that they, personally, have little to fear from the advent of the all-administrative university. Yet, these unworried professors might do well to fret just a bit. Tenure does not provide absolute protection, and at any rate only about 30 percent of the current professorate is tenured or even on the tenure track. The remaining 70 percent are hired on a contingent basis and can be dismissed at any time. The question of academic freedom is more complex and more dispiriting. In recent years, the federal courts have decided that deanlets, not professors, are entitled to academic freedom. This proposition may be surprising to academics, who, usually without giving the matter much thought, believe they possess a special freedom derived from the German concept of Lehrfreiheit, which they think protects their freedom to teach, to express opinions, and to engage in scholarly inquiry without interference from university administrators or government officials. It certainly seems reasonable to think that professors should possess Lehrfreiheit. Academics play an important part in the production, dissemination, and evaluation of ideas, and a free and dynamic society depends on a steady flow of new ideas in the sciences, politics, and the arts. The late Chief Justice Earl Warren once opined that American society would “stagnate and die” if scholars were not free to inquire, study, and evaluate. Accordingly, he said, academic freedom “is of transcendent value to all of us and not merely to the teachers concerned.” Despite Chief Justice Warren’s endorsement, professors’ ideas and utterances do not have any special constitutional status. Like other Americans, professors have free speech rights under the First Amendment. In a number of cases decided during the 1950s and 1960s, the Supreme Court made it clear that the First Amendment offered professors considerable protection from the efforts of federal, state, and local governments to intrude on their freedom of speech and association.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the insights that manuscripts may shed upon writings destined to become more sharply focused through later refinement but which, in their initial and sometimes explosive utterance, offer glimpses of the interpenetration of themes that cross their authors' minds perhaps more clearly than do published works. It argues that in insisting upon the contextual analysis of political doctrines, we risk just relocating ambiguities of interpretation from one domain to another. What counts as a proper context is not an independent variable but inescapably our own construction, as open to challenge as are the abstractions it is meant to supplant. As well as constituting drafts of other texts, manuscripts can point towards meanings their authors might later refine, sharpen, blunt, suppress, abandon, or deem insignificant.

Full textAbstract:
Covering the period from 1945 to 1960, this chapter examines a series of clergy education initiatives that attempted to build support for libertarian economic ideas. Launched by conservative activists and organizations, these programs sought to undermine clerical support for the New Deal–era welfare state, but they mostly ended in failure. With financial support from the wealthy oil executive J. Howard Pew, organizations like Spiritual Mobilization and the Christian Freedom Foundation spread the gospel of free enterprise using newsletters, radio broadcasts, and sermon contests. But polls funded by Pew himself found they had little impact on the political or economic views of rank-and-file ministers. The National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) clergy-industry program was marginally more successful, though its organizers were similarly disappointed at their inability to stoke clerical opposition to the New Deal/Fair Deal agenda. The chapter concludes with a series of observations on why Christian Libertarianism gained little traction with either ministers or lay people during the 1950s.

Full textAbstract:
A shared interest in the practice of colonization as a form of predation and capture provides a surprising link between Edward Gibbon Wakefield’s writings about systematic colonization and Charlotte Brontë’s whimsical juvenile writings. Both present their ideas in fictional form, and their colonies as imaginative constructs. Wakefield’s theory, which was influential in shaping British colonial policy, involved transporting working-class families to Australia to establish a labour force within new settlements. To reinforce the difference between his scheme and that of chattel slavery, he emphasized the freedom of his workers. Yet his scheme entailed significant restraints of their personal liberties: their freedom of movement, association, and right to own property, as well as the requirement to marry and have children. Similar preoccupations are evident in an earlier episode in Wakefield’s biography, in which he kidnapped a young woman in order to marry her for her family’s wealth and prestige. Brontë, who was roughly the same age as Wakefield’s young victim, explores these themes explicitly in her own teenage accounts of a colony in Africa, Glass Town. Co-authored with her siblings, this intricate saga of conquest and settlement by a group of European explorers presents a juvenile commentary on contemporary colonial practices. It reveals the coercive violence within the colony, as well as the submerged erotic elements within it. It also shows the ways this same violence underpins fictional narratives, especially the marriage plots that Brontë develops in her mature works.
