Vogl interprets the structural discrediting of knowledge and the corresponding
glorification of mere assertion as nothing less than the tectonics of our time.
But this diagnosis presupposes that it makes sense to examine different fields
in terms of their epistemology – and to measure them against the same
standards.

People on both sides of an intergroup conflict undertake various forms of collective action to seek justice for their own group. Three studies investigated whether modes of ingroup identification promoted distinct preferences for justice, which subsequently shaped the form of collective action people supported. Among Arab (Study 1, n = 148) and Jewish Israelis (Study 2, n = 294), we found that ingroup glorification promoted a desire for retributive justice, which predicted support for nonnormative collective action, whereas ingroup attachment promoted a desire for restorative justice, which predicted support for normative collective action. Further, during a period of conflict escalation (i.e., Palestinian protests at the Gaza Strip), emphasizing retributive or restorative justice produced differential effects on the links from glorification and attachment to nonnormative and normative collective action (Study 3, n = 546). This research advances our understanding of when and how collective action can escalate intergroup conflict.

This book aims to provide an original perspective on the changes that Greece has undergone in recent decades, by examining questions related to border disputes and migration, minority issues and national inclusion, and their effect in reinforcing discourses of glorification of the past and tradition on the fringes of Greek territory.

Identity, Morality, and Threat offers a critical examination of the social psychological processes that generate outgroup devaluation and ingroup glorification as the source of conflict. Daniel Rothbart and Karyna Korostelina bring together essays analyzing the causal relationship between escalating violence and opposing images of the Self and Other

The era of Peter the Great was a time of fundamental changes. New reforms and orders were very unfamiliar to Russians, which is why the new Russian state required comprehensive means of glorification of new cultural and political reforms. Planning of new architecture, urban space and composition in pieces of fine art were based on a system of concepts: the concept of glorification of battles and wars won by the Russian army and navy, introducing European traditions in fine arts, introducing the Table of Ranks for service, and bringing European science to Russia. In other words, the creation of art, architecture and country residences was not random. The glorification of new reforms in Russia was the basis for new art. Conceptuality as a basic element of creative culture was founded in the beginning of the XVIII century. It determined the evolution of fine arts for the next several centuries. This is the reason why analysis of architecture and fine arts in the culture of Peter the Great's era in terms of conceptual art is important. In conceptual art the conception is crucial, not the form. Many prints were made in the first quarter of the XVIII century, dedicated to military victories and the new flourishing city: Saint-Petersburg. These prints were created by invited artists from Europe (A. Schoonebeek, P. Picart) and their Russian apprentices (A. Zubov and I. Zubov). J. Tannauer, L. Caravaque and G. Gzel created conceptual paintings dedicated to Peter the Great's deeds. The "Petrine Baroque" style of architecture and regular urban planning has determined the evolution of Saint-Petersburg as a European city.

Examines the racist underpinnings of a story printed in the French magazine Paris Match concerning the journey of a young French couple into African cannibal country with their two-year-old baby, Bichon. The story is primarily criticized for the glorification of the courage of this act. It is argued that this expedition, undertaken to paint the African landscape, was not an act of heroism, but rather, of stupid irresponsibility on the part of the parents. The story's glorification of the act is evidence of the empty, publicity-oriented nature of courage in Western society. The tale overplays the contrast between the innocent, blond, smiling whiteness of the child & the dark, hideous cruelty of the natives. The cannibals come to idolize the young boy, which is viewed as a white victory (without effort) over the savages, who are reduced to bizarre objects. It is concluded that certain forms of cultural mythology & representation remain far behind the advances of knowledge, morality, & science. T. Sevier

Статья посвящена Процессу Боевой Организации партии эсеров, проходившему с 18 по 25 февраля 1904 г. и ставшему заметным явлением общественной жизни России начала XX в. За его ходом с напряженным вниманием следили власти, включая членов императорской фамилии и самого Николая II, консерваторы, либералы и революционеры.Анализируется поведение лидеров и рядовых членов Боевой Организации партии социалистов-революционеров на следствии, во время суда и после вынесения приговора. Показано, что от дачи показаний на допросах отказалось меньшинство привлеченных к процессу террористов, большинство, в их числе Г.А. Гершуни, и во время следствия, и на суде отрицали свою причастность к Боевой Организации; все подсудимые отказались от заключительного слова. Почти все осужденные по процессу подавали прошение о помиловании как сразу после оглашения приговора, так и во время отбывания наказания. Все это во многом не соответствовало прокламируемому кодексу поведения революционера на суде. ; The article is devoted to the Process of SR CombatOrganization which was held since 18 up to 25 February, 1904and which become a prominent event in the public life of Russiaof the beginning of the XX century. For its progress the authoritiesincluding imperiality and Nikolai II himself, conservatives, liberalsand revolutionaries followed with strained attention.The article analyzes the behavior of the leaders and members ofSR Combat Organization under investigation, during the trial andafter the verdict. It is shown that to testify during interrogation refusedthe minority of the involved in the process of the terrorists, themajority, including G.A. Gershuni, and during the investigation andin court denied his involvement in the military organization; all thedefendants refused the final word. Almost all prisoners on the processpetitioned for a pardon as soon as the verdict was announced, as well as serving their sentences. All this is largely not in line proclaimed bythe Code of Conduct of the revolutionary at court.

Members of the Coitus Punk Group were sentenced to two years in jail when their songs and behaviour — which included tearing apart a live chicken — were held to be 'incitement to disaffection'. A Hungarian dissident considers the grounds for this charge and concludes that in an ideal world he would ban the glorification of brutality.

Social Work is a cautionary tale of what happens to a journal when it accedes to pressure for a professionally comforting publication. Pardeck and Meinert's (1999) data make a strong case for dropping Social Work from the Social Science Citation Index and accepting it on its own merits: A membership association's glorification of itself.

Since the 1950s, the US has become obsessed with its own consumer culture. Even experiences, such as prison life, have been commodified. People will pay to spend a weekend at the Academy in Alpharetta, GA, an institution that sells "the prison experience." Prison clothing has long been a hot fashion item among the rapper set, while several chambers of commerce have marketed their state's prisons as "must see" tourist destinations. By turning prison life into pop culture, mass imprisonment has become acceptable, & it is difficult for at-risk youth to understand that prisons are not hotels or amusement parks. If the US is to decrease (rather than continue to increase) its prison population, the welfare system must be drastically reformed & the commodification of prison life must come to an end. K. A. Larsen
