This book offers critical reflections on the intersections between criminology and queer scholarship, and charts future directions for this field. Since their development over twenty-five years ago, queer scholarship and politics have been hotly contested fields, equally embraced and dismissed. Amid calls for criminology and criminal justice institutions to respond more effectively to the injustices faced by LGBTIQ people, criminologists have recently developed a Queer Criminology and turned to queer scholarship in the process. Through a sweeping analysis of critical criminologies, as well as issues as varied as shame and utopian thought, Matthew Ball points to the many opportunities for criminology to engage further with the more politically disruptive strands of queer scholarship. His analysis highlights that criminology and queer theory are 'dangerous bedfellows', and that navigating the tension between them is central to confronting the social and criminal injustices experienced by LGBTIQ communities. This book will be of particular interest for scholars of criminology, criminal justice, LGBTIQ studies, gender studies and critical theory.

Leben im neuen Takt - Unsere Welt ist digital geworden. Permanent und überall sind Informationen verfügbar und unsere Kommunikation kennt keine Ruhezeit. Sende- und Ladenschluss sind abgeschafft, das Internet ist ein 24-Stunden-Newsticker ebenso wie ein 24-Stunden-Kaufhaus. Die pausenlose Gesellschaft hat durch die digitale Permanenz Einzug gehalten in die Lebenswirklichkeit der Allermeisten von uns. Was machen Dauerverfügbarkeit, soziale Netzwerke und die gefühlte Beschleunigung mit uns und ist die Entwicklung nur beklagenswert? Der Philosoph und Vordenker der digitalen Zukunft Rafael Ball veranschaulicht mit lebendigen Beispielen, welche individuellen und gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen die aktuellen Entwicklungen mit sich bringen. Dabei vertritt er eine höchst spannende These: Mithilfe der digitalen Information und Kommunikation gelingt es uns erstmalig, die Linearität der Zeit zu überwinden! Unsere Gesellschaft ist nicht mehr nur nach der Uhr getaktet, sondern nach Simultan-Zugriffen. Die digitale Permanenz errichtet damit unendlich viele und vielgestaltige Welten. Fluch oder Segen? Wir haben es zumindest als aufgeklärte User in der Hand!

The history of the Conservative Party during the first half of the twentieth century was marked by crisis and controversy, from Joseph Chamberlain's tariff reform campaign through the Lloyd George coalition and the National Government between the wars to the defeat of 1945 and the post war recovery. This study provides a lucid account of this turbulent and formative period in the history of the most durable and adaptive force in modern British politics.

This book was an abridged and unauthorised reprint of the earlier 'Slavery in the United States' (1836). The narratives describe experiences as a slave, including the uncertainty of slave life and the ways in which the slaves are forced to suffer inhumane conditions. The text recounts the qualities of the various masters and the ways in which fortune depended on their temperament. As slave narrative scholar William L. Andrews has noted, the author's oft-repeated narrative directly influenced the manner and matter of later fugitive slave narratives

If you could be invisible, what would you do? The chances are that it would have something to do with power, wealth or sex. Perhaps all three. But there's no need to feel guilty. Impulses like these have always been at the heart of our fascination with invisibility: it points to realms beyond our senses, serves as a receptacle for fears and dreams, and hints at worlds where other rules apply. Invisibility is a mighty power and a terrible curse, a sexual promise, a spiritual condition. This is a history of humanity's turbulent relationship with the invisible. It takes on the myths and morals of Plato, the occult obsessions of the Middle Ages, the trickeries and illusions of stage magic, the auras and ethers of Victorian physics, military strategies to camouflage armies and ships and the discovery of invisibly small worlds. From the medieval to the cutting-edge, fairy tales to telecommunications, from beliefs about the supernatural to the discovery of dark energy, Philip Ball reveals the universe of the invisible

In The Morality of Gay Rights, Ball presents a comprehensive exploration of the connection between gay rights and political philosophy. He discusses the writing of contemporary political and legal philosophers-including Rawls, Walzer, Nussbaum, Sandel, Rorty and Dworkin-to evaluate how their theoretical frameworks fit the specific gay rights controversies, such as same-sex marriage and parenting by lesbians and gay men, that are part of our nation's political and legal debates

Whilst serving in the prestigious post of Viceroy of India (1926-1931), Lord Irwin (later the Earl of Halifax) was kept informed about political events in Britain by frequent letters from shrewd political insiders. These private and previously unpublished letters offer a frank account from within the highest political circles of the Baldwin government (1924-29) and the serious crisis in the Conservative Party which followed (1929-31). Of great depth and richness, this collection is an essential historical source for British history between the two World Wars.
