Reimagining with Christian Doctrines: Responding to Global Gender Injustices
by Grace Ji-Sun Kim Jenny DaggersThis collection demonstrates a constructive potential in reimagining with doctrines, which unlocks them from centuries of patriarchal constraint. It opens the way for glimpsing divine action in the economy of salvation, while human struggles for justice are placed within a wider arena when discrete theological resources are deployed in this way.
Reina
by Elizabeth DuvalPrimeras memorias en España de una mujer de la generación Z que a los 19 años ya es un referente de la poesía y del activismo. «Yo creo -escribe Elizabeth Duval en Reina - que estaba enamorada de ella porque era como un personaje novelesco, una gran aparición del azar, una fuerza sin rumbo ni dirección alguna.» Aunque a lo largo de la historia el dilema entre la escritura o la vida ha influido en numerosas obras, lo cierto es que la respuesta más sensata siempre estuvo a la vista de todo el mundo, tal y como podemos deducir con la lectura de este libro: la literatura y la vida. Estudiante en París de Filosofía y Letras Modernas, la escritora y activista Elizabeth Duval (Alcalá de Henares, 2000) inicia un diario que inevitablemente acaba transformando su realidad, mediada por una especie de concepción novelesca de la propia existencia. Con un talento excepcional para hacer dialogar su prosa con la historia de las ideas, proponiendo así un interesante dispositivo de estimulación intelectual, a lo largo de Reina circulan numerosos asuntos que zigzaguean entre las esferas de lo público y lo privado. Entre sus temas destacan la vida universitaria como iniciación a la madurez, la política bajo el capitalismo tardío, o el amor postadolescente desde una óptica que desborda todas nuestras expectativas sobre el asunto y lo sublima en una reflexión sobre los afectos y el deseo tan universal como radicalmente nueva. La crítica ha dicho...«Una escritora transfemenina, filósofa, muy precoz y muy impresionante»Luna Miguel «Imparable.»Play Ground «En Reina, abre su corazón con los primeros diarios de una mujer de la Generación Z [...] De lo más esperado de este año.»Begoña Alonso, Elle «Uno de los emblemas más visible de la causa trans.»Tentaciones «La joven madrileña tiene todo para convertirse en la próxima estrella de la filosofía española [. . .] Sorprende, sobre todo, la madurez del discurso de Duval, además de su amplia cultura.»Víctor Lenore, Vozpópuli
La reina del pacífico: es la hora de contar
by Julio Scherer GarcíaUn extraordinario reportaje que muestra a la mujer-mito del narco mexicano tal cual es: explicando lo que significa nacer, crecer y vivir en ese mundo, contando sus experiencias con los grandes capos y los narcopolicías, revelando las entrañas de ese infierno y también su intimidad... todo ello gracias al enorme oficio del mejor periodista de México. Resultado de una larga serie de entrevistas a Sandra Ávila, la Reina del Pacífico, contiene el primer testimonio sobre lo que significa nacer, crecer y vivir dentro de la mafia del narcotráfico. Esta mujer-mito le platica a Julio Scherer su historia, en la cual se manifiesta directamente, con todas sus contradicciones, temores y arrebatos. Su voz, ante el periodista y la opinión pública, retumba poderosa, aunque por momentos se exprese a la defensiva, lacónica y desalentada. Gracias al enorme oficio narrativo de quien es considerado el mejor periodista de México, Sandra Ávila nos presenta las entrañas de ese mundo gobernado por la muerte, pero también habla de su intimidad. "Y en la lucha por mostrarse dueña de sí misma" -como escribe Scherer-, resulta contundente. "Me he emborrachado con la vida y he padecido crudas de las que me he levantado. Ahora tropiezo con los muros de mi celda entre la depresión y el ánimo, medio muerta y medio viva, caída y vuelta a levantar..." Libro único en muchos sentidos, La Reina del Pacífico: Es la hora de contar se publica en el momento más trascendental de la guerra contra el narcotráfico. Suministra a los lectores piezas cardinales que le permiten descifrar el rompecabezas de esta violencia sin antecedentes que sufre nuestro país y que parece no tener fin.

Reindeer Hunters of the Ice Age in Europe: Economy, Ecology, and the Annual Nomadic Cycle
by Laure FontanaThis book undertakes a thorough study of Reindeer in the Upper Pleniglacial and Tardiglacial societies in France. It addresses two main topics – the economy of animal resources within the societies and the exploitation of Reindeer organized within the annual cycle, in terms of space and time, between 30,000 and 14,000 cal BP in France. The author proposes an analysis and hypothesis regarding the economy of animal resources and the nomadic cycle of the last Paleolithic hunter-gatherer societies, in order to identify a “Reindeer system.”The author discusses the relationship between Reindeer and human mobility and offers some conclusions regarding the annual cycles of nomadism. The volume scrutinizes the distinct eco systems in three regions and its effects on the movements of both human and animal. This book is of interest to zooarchaeologists and prehistorians.

Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory: A Metatheory for Biosocial Criminology (Routledge Advances in Criminology)
by Anthony WalshSome of the brightest minds in criminology who were nurtured on the strictly environmentalist paradigm of the 20th century have declared that biosocial criminology is the paradigm for the 21st century. This book attempts to unite this ever-growing field with the premier neurobiological theory of personality, otherwise known as reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST). Anthony Walsh places the highly variable number of biosocial approaches under a single theoretical umbrella, whilst providing a unique integrative framework. As the leading neurobiological theory of personality and behavior in psychology today, RST focuses around the age-old question of how naturally selfish social animals can achieve their wants and needs without alienating others in their social groups. RST posits that evolution has built into humans three interacting systems: the behavioral approach system; the behavioral inhibition system; and the fight/flight/freeze system. RST identifies the neurobiological and genetic functions underlying each system and has found a cascade of supporting evidence. Throwing new light on many areas of concern to criminologists, such as psychopathy, violence, ADHD, and schizophrenia, this book will be of interest to scholars and upper-level students in the field. Additional features such as Focus Boxes and diagrams delve into measurement techniques and brain areas.
El Reino del Desierto: Arabia Saudí frente a sus contradicciones
by Ángeles EspinosaUna magnífica obra que acerca al lector a la Arabia Saudí del siglo XXI. Los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York y Washington pusieron a Arabia Saudí en la picota. Como si de una botella de cava recién descorchada se tratara, salían a la superficie la falta de libertades y las violaciones de derechos humanos ignoradas durante años. Pero lo cierto es que pocos se han preocupado de acercarse a los saudíes de a pie para indagar qué hay de cierto en los tópicos que rodean al Reino del Desierto. Esta magnífica obra acerca al lector a la Arabia Saudí de principios del siglo XXI. Es el país de Bin Laden, sí, pero también el de otros veinte millones de personas, la mayoría de las cuales se sintieron horrorizadas con sus acciones. Son los saudíes quienes destacan las contradicciones de un sistema que ha conjugado tradición y modernidad, con tantos éxitos como fracasos, y quienes tendrán que resolverlas si quieren evitar que, además de petróleo, su país exporte terroristas. «Casas de adobe, calles de tierra. Daraiya es un laberinto fortificado en el que poco ha variado desde la Edad Media. Solo el silencio revela que el otrora bullicioso oasis hace tiempo que ha cedido su condición de capital saudí a la vecina Riad. Pero en el recinto amurallado de esta ciudad fantasma se hallan los palacios de los ancestros de los Al Saud, la familia que gobierna Arabia Saudí desde que el rey Abdelaziz, el León del Nachd, unificó sus territorios en 1932. Una veintena de kilómetros al oeste, Riad emerge como un paraíso de arquitectos: trazado moderno, amplias avenidas y rascacielos espectaculares en los que el único límite es la imaginación de sus diseñadores. Se trata de la tarjeta de presentación para los visitantes que llegan al reino. Y fue también mi introducción la primera vez que viajé a Arabia Saudí, en mayo de 1989. En los días siguientes, el choque de pasado y futuro, convertido en un estereotipo del país, se repitió una y otra vez ante mis ojos. Pero, sobre todo, comprobé la pervivencia de un sistema social y legal que parecía extraído de un antiguo pergamino y aplicado, sin adaptación alguna, al guion de una película futurista.»Ángeles Espinosa
Reintegrating Jihadist Extremist Detainees: Helping Extremist Offenders Back into Society (Contemporary Terrorism Studies)
by Daan Weggemans Beatrice de GraafThis book seeks to understand the processes of reintegration of former Jihadist detainees, as well as the role that the police and other frontline professionals play in this process. Over the past few decades the number of people who have been detained under the suspicion of terrorist activities has grown significantly. This has resulted in an increased scholarly interest in the topic of prisons and terrorism. However, the main focus of academic research has been on the period of incarceration with researchers paying extensive attention to the conditions under which terrorists have been detained as well as to various processes of alienation and (violent) radicalisation that sometimes take root while in prison. Much less has been written about the period after their incarceration and the steps being taken to prepare them for that transition. This book seeks to fill this gap. It argues that sentencing or incarcerating terrorism suspects is not the end of the story, but just the beginning of the next phase: a process of reintegration, or the start of a new cycle of violence. This exploratory study outlines the factors during and after detention that contribute or hinder the reintegration of those who have been incarcerated for violent extremism and terrorism. The overriding aim of this work is to facilitate further research into the radicalisation and de-radicalisation of jihadist suspects. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and counter-terrorism, Islamist radicalisation, criminology and security studies in general.
Reintegrating Severance: Interdisciplinary Insights on Apple TV’s Dystopian Thriller
by Jennifer Dawes Nora M. IsacoffThis edited collection is an interdisciplinary examination of Apple TV's Severance, in which employees of a biotech firm consent to having their brains severed so that their work selves and non-work selves do not retain each other’s memories. What transpires is a reckoning with the very nature of the self, consciousness, and memory, through a series steeped in explorations of capitalism, social welfare, and bioethics. Chapters in this book examine the popularity and critical acclaim surrounding the show; its retrofuturistic asethetic; its commentary on popular culture and identity; and its engagement with nostalgia, among other topics.
Reintegration Strategies
by Katie KuschminderThis book critically examines and theorizes the process of how return migrants reintegrate into their countries of origin. The result is a new methodology for understanding the experiences of return migrants, or their 'reintegration strategies'. This approach demonstrates that reintegration strategies differ by type of return migrant, leading to variations in how far they are able to contribute to the development of their nation states. The author uses female return migration to Ethiopia as a case study, focusing on the impact of gender on reintegration strategies to analyse the connection between return migration and social change. This book will appeal to scholars of migration and refugee studies, as well as a wider audience of sociologists, anthropologists, demographers and policy makers.
Reintegrative Justice in Practice: The Informal Management of Crime in an Island Community (Welfare And Society Ser.)
by Peter Raynor Helen MilesRecent years have seen the development of a growing international literature on restorative justice, community justice and reintegrative alternatives to formal criminal justice processes. This literature is stronger on theory and advocacy than on detailed evaluative studies. It often relies for its practical examples on the presumed historical practices of the indigenous peoples of colonised territories, or on attempts to revive or promote modified versions of these in a modern context, which has led to debates about how far modern communities can provide a viable setting for such initiatives. This book provides a unique study of the practice of traditional reintegrative community justice in a European society: the Parish Hall Enquiry (PHE) in the Channel Island of Jersey. This is an ancient institution, based on an informal hearing and discussion of a reported offence with the alleged offender and other interested parties, carried out by centeniers (honorary police officers elected to one of Jersey's twelve parishes). It is still in regular use as an integral part of a modern criminal justice system, and it usually aims to resolve offences without recourse to formal prosecution in court. Helen Miles and Peter Raynor's research, arising from direct observation, contributes to the literature on 'what works' in resolving conflicts and influencing offenders, and their detailed case studies of how problems are addressed gives a 'hands on' flavour of the process. The authors also document the aspects of community life in Jersey that facilitate or hinder the continuation of the PHEs, drawing out the implications of these findings for wider debates about the necessary and sufficient social conditions for reintegrative justice to succeed.

Reintroducing Ferdinand Tönnies (Reintroducing...)
by Christopher Adair-ToteffExploring, clarifying, and moving beyond the distinction between ‘community’ and ‘society’ for which he is best known, this book rediscovers the work of Ferdinand Tönnies, providing fresh insights into his thought, which are often overlooked for want of a grasp of his background in philosophy. With attention to the fact that Tönnies always wrote from a sociological perspective, it considers the importance of the breadth of his writing on a range of subjects, including politics, philosophy, economics, and ethics, these being the foundations of social policy—a field with which Tönnies was concerned as a scholar who sought not only to understand the world but also to change it for the better. The first book to provide an accessible overview of Tönnies' work that places his thought in context, explores his key concepts, and demonstrates his continuing relevance in sociology—a discipline he helped to establish—Reintroducing Ferdinand Tönnies will appeal to scholars and students with interests in social theory, the history of sociology, and the sociology of Ferdinand Tönnies.
Reintroducing George Herbert Mead (Reintroducing...)
by Daniel R. HuebnerGeorge Herbert Mead has long been known for his social theory of meaning and the ‘self’ - an approach which becomes all the more relevant in light of the ways we develop and represent ourselves online. But recent scholarship has shown that Mead’s pragmatic philosophy can help us understand a much wider range of contemporary issues including how humans and natural environments mutually influence one another, how deliberative democracy can and should work, how thinking is dependent upon the body and on others, and how social changes in the present affect our understandings of the past. Historical scholarship has also changed what we know of Mead’s life, including new emphasis on his social reform efforts, his engagement with colonization and war, and critical reinterpretation of the works published after his death. This book provides an approachable introduction to Mead’s contemporary relevance in the social sciences, showing how a pragmatic view of social action serves as the core of Mead’s theory, offering striking insights into human agency, symbolism, politics, social change, temporality, and materiality. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and the social sciences more broadly, with interests in social theory and the enduring importance of the sociological classics.
Reintroducing Harriet Martineau: Pioneering Sociologist and Activist (Reintroducing...)
by Stuart Hobday Gaby WeinerThis book explores the innovative, sociological approach adopted by Harriet Martineau in her efforts to develop a ‘scientific’ approach to understanding social and societal change. With attention to her focus on the key social structures and societal issues of her day – the economy, education, the condition of women and the evils of slavery – the authors highlight her creation and application of what we now recognise as sociological methodology, fieldwork and analysis. Through an examination in each chapter of the writings that best illustrate Martineau’s sociological perspective, Reintroducing Harriet Martineau discusses her enduring contribution to sociology. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of sociology with interests in the history of the discipline and questions of methodology.
Reintroducing Robert K. Merton (Reintroducing...)
by Charles CrothersThis book reintroduces the work of Robert K. Merton as a bridge between classical sociology and modern sociology. Founded in the sociological classics but developing a modern approach to the advancement of theory and research methodology, Merton’s thought helped to construct modern sociology in its coverage of many of the social institutional areas of contemporary society. Recovering and analysing the system of ‘structural analysis’ which Merton progressively developed – a system largely overlooked due to the tendency among commentators to stereotype him as a ‘functionalist’ – the author considers the applications of this approach to various substantive fields, particularly science and criminal justice, and examines the effect of Merton’s later ‘sociological semantics’ on his overall schema. A clear and accessible presentation of the array of concepts introduced by Merton to sociology, Reintroducing Robert K. Merton will appeal to scholars and students with interests in sociological theory, social research, the history of sociology and the various substantive areas covered in the work of Merton – deviance, science, and communications.
La reinvención del amor: Desafíos emocionales contemporáneos
by Sandra RussoEnsayo lúcido, reflexivo y necesariamente político, sobre la decadencia del amor romántico, hijo del patriarcado y del capitalismo, y el desafío contemporáneo que supone reinventar los vínculos amorosos desde una perspectiva libre, emancipada y empática, de la mano de los feminismos populares. Al tiempo que plantea su rechazo al patriarcado, la expansión global de los feminismos populares pone en cuestión al "amor romántico" y lo empuja hacia su agonía. Ese constructo -naturalizado por la didáctica de las emociones en que familia, educación y medios blindaron históricamente una prédica tan unívoca como eficaz- muestra en su caída el sinfín de arbitrariedades sobre el que fue estructurado, el entramado de intereses del que surgió -y que contribuyó a sostener y potenciar- y las muchas formas de sufrimiento a las que sometió a generaciones. Sandra Russo asume aquí el desafío de repensar los vínculos amorosos en tiempo y espacio situados: nuestro presente tumultuoso, América Latina. Y lo hace con una voz potente y original que decanta otras como las de Eva Illouz, Franz De Waal, Julia Kristeva, Pierre Bourdieu, Philippe Sollers, Carson McCullers, u Olga Tokarczuk. El resultado es este libro: un ensayo lúcido, reflexivo y necesariamente político, que postula la reinvención del amor como condición de posibilidad de una existencia más libre y emancipada pero también más armónica y, por qué no, feliz.
Reinvent Your Personal Safety: 3 Keys to Successful Self-Protection for Women
by Matt TamasIn Reinvent Your Personal Safety, Matt Tamas takes women through a proactive approach to personal safety, one that isn’t about honing technical moves or perfecting technique, but more about showing them how to work with their own body and mind, considering realistic scenarios, and training them to take appropriate action. Matt’s job, as a personal safety coach, is to not only give women the tools to fight back during an assault, but also to help them prevent themselves from being assaulted in the first place. The right action to take is often in advance of a likely violent encounter in order to avoid it altogether. The best way to protect one’s self is avoiding the situation in which she is forced to defend herself. Reinvent Your Personal Safety talks about the different ways this is possible, as well as about the best way to handle one’s self when violent confrontation simply cannot be avoided. This is for the high-school girl, for the grandmother, for the young professional, for the working mother – anyone who is willing to overcome their limiting beliefs about what they’re capable of and key into what self-protection is really about. In reality, knowledge of the appropriate action to take in any given situation is worth scores more than athleticism.
Reinvented Lives: Women at Sixty: A Celebration
by Charles Handy Elizabeth HandyTwenty-eight women, ranging from Anita Roddick and Prue Leith to less well-known names, write their own personal stories which are accompanied by Elizabeth Handy's black and white photographs and an introductory essay by Charles Handy. This generation of women is entering the sixties more healthy, more educated and more energetic than most of their mothers. The subjects in this book provide the models for what has become, for the first time, a new age for many women. Released from most of the cares and responsibilities that accompany midlife for women, they are free to reinvent themselves, to give more time to their career or calling, or to luxuriate in the serenity and friendships that few had time for in the past. Some enter new relationships, some start new careers or go back to study, some find that their work is only now reaching its peak. Many have survived traumas and tragedies, but 'the past is just the prologue' as one of them explains.
Reinventing Brantford: A University Comes Downtown
by Leo GroarkeShort-listed for the 2012 Speaker’s Award One hundred years ago, the City of Brantford advertised itself as the most important manufacturing centre in Canada. During the century that followed, its industrial economy boomed, faltered, and finally collapsed. By the end of the twentieth century, Brantford was known for unemployment, hard luck, and the infamy of having "the worst downtown in Canada." For twenty years the downtown was in steep decline. Significant attempts at urban revival had failed until Wilfrid Laurier University decided to locate a campus in the heart of Brantford’s crumbling city centre. Leo Groarke revisists the grandeur of the city’s past, explores the economic downfall, and tells the story of the arrival of the university, its early struggles, its commitment to historic restoration, and its ultimate success as a catalyst for urban renewal. The compelling story he recounts will engage anyone interested in the plight of the North-American city core and the role that universities and colleges can play in re-establishing downtowns as vibrant centres of historical and contemporary importance.
