Dyadic And Group Perspectives On Close Relationships Special Issue of International Journal of Behavioral Development

Dyadic And Group Perspectives On Close Relationships Special Issue of International Journal of Behavioral Development

The papers in this special issue apply two recent data analytic techniques to the study of family and close peer relationships. The Actor-Partner Interdependent Model incorporates the perspectives of both participants in a dyad into analyses that describe shared and unique views of the relationship. The Social Relations Model incorporates the perspectives of all members of a group into analyses that ascribe views unique to individuals and relationships and views shared by the entire group. Developmental applications of techniques originally designed for concurrent interdependent data are described. | Dyadic And Group Perspectives On Close Relationships Special Issue of International Journal of Behavioral Development

Formation of Periodical Authorship in 1920s Korea Distant and Close Reading

Formation of Periodical Authorship in 1920s Korea Distant and Close Reading

Formation of Periodical Authorship in 1920s Korea argues that Korean authors who entered the literary scene during modern literature’s formative years were the subject mediated by periodicals. However it has been difficult to substantiate this statement because periodicals including magazines were open to different groups of writers; various social literary religious and cultural discourses; and dissimilar genres. The multi-level interactions between terms knowledge and writing styles in circulation unfolded at a larger scale at some times and at other times in such an ordinary manner that one can hardly identify and synthesize them to make any sense. Employing not only conventional close reading but also modes of distant reading developing out of cultural analytics Lee investigates the specific ways in which patterns of social semantic and stylistic interactions in Korea’s major magazines configured three kinds of authorship namely the “narcissistic author ” the “prophetic critic ” and the “everyday reviewer. ” He rereads artist stories leftist social discourses religious cosmology and joint reviews through quantitative analyses and offers an engaging account on the importance of repetitions in creating literary originality. This book extends periodical studies through cultural analytics and opens up a new horizon for the next generation of literary scholars seeking innovative experiments in a digital age. | Formation of Periodical Authorship in 1920s Korea Distant and Close Reading

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

Adopting a mixed-methods approach this book assesses the role of soft law as a technique to repress and prevent money laundering. The consequence of the combination of a non-traditional subject matter with the limitations of traditional international law instruments has meant that lawmakers seeking international solutions to the problems of money laundering have had to innovate. This book addresses two fundamental issues in the context of existing international and domestic responses to the problem of money laundering that have hitherto been neglected. These include the nature of the treaty obligations to criminalise money laundering and the role of soft law as a technique to regulate it globally. The book concludes that international legal harmonisation and approximation of domestic anti-money laundering law through soft law remains helpful in addressing this pressing problem. The book will be of interest to academics researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Financial Crime Anti-Money Laundering Law Regulation International Soft Law and Comparative Law. | International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

China Football and Development Socialism and Soft Power

China Football and Development Socialism and Soft Power

This book uses football as a lens through which to examine China’s economic development its political economy and its political thought. Focusing on the Chinese Football Development Plan this book opens up new perspectives on the concepts of hegemony soft power socialism with Chinese characteristics and China’s rise to the position of geopolitical superpower. Presenting a critical Marxist analysis of “soft power” and drawing on Gramsci’s conceptualisation of hegemony this book argues that football can be seen as a resource for seduction and persuasion and therefore as an instrument to be used in the “hegemonic clash”. Reflecting on the idea of soft power in relation to imperialism and ideology and standing in contrast to prevailing Western orthodox analyses of Chinese development this book shows how the “Chinese Football Dream” is a significant component of the “Chinese Dream” of “rejuvenation of the nation” and shows how football can help us to better understand the role of the state as an inducer of development and creative destruction. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport policy public policy sport and society football development studies political economy or political thought. | China Football and Development Socialism and Soft Power

Italian Renaissance Art

Italian Renaissance Art

The chronology of the Italian Renaissance its character and context have long been a topic of discussion among scholars. Some date its beginnings to the fourteenthcentury work of Giotto others to the generation of Masaccio Brunelleschi and Donatello that fl ourished from around 1400. The close of the Renaissance has also proved elusive. Mannerism for example is variously considered to be an independent (but subsidiary) late aspect of Renaissance style or a distinct style in its own right. | Italian Renaissance Art

Virtuous and Vicious Expressions of Partiality

Virtuous and Vicious Expressions of Partiality

This volume gathers essays from leading scholars to discuss partiality in ethics. The chapters examine the virtuous and vicious ways in which we relate to those close to us. There has long been a puzzle in ethics concerning the balance between our general moral obligations to everyone and our specific moral obligations to a smaller subset of people: our family our nation and our friends. There has been longstanding tension between the moral intuition that equality entails that we have the same moral duties to everyone and the moral intuition that special obligations entail that we have much greater duties to those close to us. The chapters in this volume discuss varying perspectives on partiality within a wide range of relationships. Section 1 offers overarching visions of partiality. Section 2 examines how roles and relationships might shape partiality. Section 3 focuses on the potential moral dangers and pitfalls of partiality. Finally Section 4 looks at specific applications of partiality expressed as our loyalty to country religion sports teams and employers. Virtuous and Vicious Expressions of Partiality will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in ethics social and political philosophy and philosophy of religion.

The Crisis of Medieval Russia 1200-1304

The Crisis of Medieval Russia 1200-1304

John Fennell's history of thirteenth-century Russia is the only detailed study in English of the period and is based on close investigation of the primary sources. His account concentrates on the turbulent politics of northern Russia which was ultimately to become the tsardom of Muscovy but he also gives detailed attention to the vast southern empire of Kiev before its eclipse under the Tatars. The resulting study is a major addition to medieval historiography: an essential acquisition for students of Russia itself and a book which decisively fills a vast blank on the map of the European Middle Ages for medievalists generally. | The Crisis of Medieval Russia 1200-1304
