The spread of violent extremism, 9/11, the rise of ISIL and movement of 'foreign terrorist fighters' are dramatically expanding the powers of the UN Security Council to govern risky cross-border flows and threats by non-state actors. New security measures and data infrastructures are being built that threaten to erode human rights and transform the world order in far-reaching ways. The Law of the List is an interdisciplinary study of global security law in motion. It follows the ISIL and Al-Qaida sanctions list, created by the UN Security Council to counter global terrorism, to different sites around the world mapping its effects as an assemblage. Drawing on interviews with Council officials, diplomats, security experts, judges, secret diplomatic cables and the author's experiences as a lawyer representing listed people, The Law of the List shows how governing through the list is reconfiguring global security, international law and the powers of international organisations.

United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) supporters and non-voters in England participate respectively in forms of engaged and disengaged anti-political activity, but the role of individual, group-based, and collective emotions is still unclear. Drawing upon recent analyses of the complex emotional dynamics (e.g., <em>ressentiment</em>) underpinning the growth of right-wing populist political movements and support for parties such as UKIP, this analysis explores the affective features of reactionary political stances. The framework of affective practices is used to show how resentful affects are created, facilitated, and transformed in sharing or suppressing populist political views and practices; that is, populism is evident not only in the prevalence and influence of illiberal and anti-elite discourses but also should be explored as it is embodied and enacted in "past focused" and "change resistant" everyday actions and in relation to opportunities that "sediment" affect-laden political positions and identities. Reflexive thematic analysis of data from qualitative interviews with UKIP voters and non-voters (who both supported leaving the EU) in 2015 after the UK election but before the EU referendum vote showed that many participants: 1) shared "condensed" complaints about politics and enacted resentment towards politicians who did not listen to them, 2) oriented towards shameful and purportedly shameless racism about migrants, and 3) appeared to struggle with shame and humiliation attributed to the EU in a complex combination of transvaluation of the UK and freedom of movement, a nostalgic need for restoration of national pride, and endorsement of leaving the EU as a form of "change backwards."

Diese Einführung in die Forschungsmethoden der Psychologie von Dennis HOWITT und Duncan CRAMER ist der dritte Band einer Serie, nachdem sie zuvor bereits eines über Statistik in der Psychologie und eines über SPSS für Windows vorgelegt haben. In dem vorliegenden "Introduction to Research Methods in Psychology" werden Themen und Verfahren ohne theoretische Begründung vorgestellt, entsprechend werden qualitative Methoden unter eine generelle Logik von Forschung subsumiert (integriert) und damit wenig überzeugend für Studierende eingeführt. Der Band hinterlässt den Eindruck, er sei am besten für traditionell ausgerichtete psychologische Fachrichtungen adressiert.

Die Anerkennung von Reflexivität in der Psychologie löst weniger ein Problem, als dass sie neue Herausforderungen für Praktiker(innen) erzeugt, die mit der Bedeutung und Qualität der Handlungen von Subjekten zu tun haben. Während Mainsteam-Psycholog(inn)en versuchen, den Bias auf Seiten der Forschenden zu reduzieren oder zu eliminieren, erkennen qualitativ Forschende derselben Disziplin den unreduzierbaren Einfluss von Sprache und der Theorien an, die sie zur Ko-Rekonstruktion von Phänomenen der realen Welt verwenden. Es ist natürlich möglich, dass die Resultate einer bestimmten Methode mit der Subjektivität der Forschenden zu tun haben oder mitunter sogar mehr über deren Subjektivität enthüllen, als dass sie sich dem Forschungsthema selbst widmen würden. In diesem Beitrag setze ich mich mit dem Thema der Subjektivität auseinander, wie es im Bereich der philosophischen Biografien aufgeworfen wird, und stelle dann reflexiv einen Vergleich mit der späten Philosophie von WITTGENSTEIN (1953) als einem m.E. angemessenen Rahmen für qualitative Forschung her. Des weiteren greife ich auf ein Beispiel meiner eigenen Arbeit zum Thema "Stolz" zurück, um verschiedene Bedeutungen von Reflexivität zu veranschaulichen und Auswirkungen individueller Subjektivität auf den Prozess und das Produkt des Forschens zu diskutieren. Die Ergebnisse werden hoffentlich aufzeigen, dass zum einen die Untersuchung von Reflexivitäts- und Subjektivitätsthemen nicht zu Paradoxien, Unschlüssigkeit oder "konzeptionellem Morast" führt, und zum anderen erkennen lassen, wie WITTGENSTEINs "therapeutischer" Ansatz viele der hier skizzierten Probleme klärt und auflöst.

In a complementary commentary on Streib, we highlight complexities of self and Other responsiveness when researching and attempting to enact xenosophic alternatives to xenophobic relations with a wide range of others and including related problematic forms of personal and group 'egocentricity'. Using our similar attempts to be reflexive in theory and practice about self and Other responsiveness in our own social, political, community and cultural psychology research (extending Streib's focus on developmental psychology), we use the later philosophical approach of Ludwig Wittgenstein – rather than the phenomenological philosophy of Waldenfels – to explore instances of self and 'extraordinary Other' relations via examples of everyday and form-of-life disagreements. We then focus on complex emotions and investigations of affective and discursive patterned features of self and Other relations to highlight features of responsiveness and collective wisdom evident in a dynamic typology of group-based and collective pride, shame and guilt relations in contexts of celebration, competition, challenge and conflict. The need to explore the limits of self and extraordinary Other responsiveness is shown by considering how possible futures and power considerations might lead us to step back from potentially becoming other to ourselves.
