In writing about love", is a call of hope, whereby we may find ways toward peace, not only within ourselves, but amongst all peoples everywhere.

Pippin's The Philosophical Hitchcock: Vertigo and the Anxieties of Unknowingness Well known, among other reasons, for his work on Hegel and Nietzsche, Robert Pippin has written extensively on art, literature and cinema. The Philosophical Hitchcock is his third book on cinema, the previous two being Hollywood Westerns and American Myth: The Importance of Howard Hawks and John Ford for Political Philosophy (Yale University Press, 2010) and Fatalism in American Film Noir: Some Cinematic Philosophy (University of Virginia Press, 2012). In this book, Pippin proposes a fine-grained philosophical reading of one of Hitchcock's most important works (if not his masterpiece):...

The Emergence of the Lifestyle Blog and Influencers in Malaysia This book is an anthropological exploration of the emergence in Malaysia of lifestyle bloggers, precursors to *microcelebrities' or 'influencers.' Chapters that combine theoretical and empirical discussions are interspersed with shorter case study 'thick descriptions' of key events. Starting with a 'blog war, it tracks the transformation of 'personal blogs' that attracted readers with spontaneous and authentic accounts of everyday life into lifestyle blogs' that generate income through advertising and foreground consumerist lifestyles. Using a synthesis of actor-network theory and the... DOWNLOAD BOOKMARK John Shindler WIJo hn CSULA, Education, Faculty Member The Structure of a Transformative School I began my journey into the exploration of school climate about 20 years ago with the goal of helping schools improve. Where it led my colleagues and I was to a deeper insight into what makes a school an effective and even "transformative" place. As we examined the essential nature of school effectiveness, a roadmap emerged that helped explain the relationships among what each school intended, did in practice and the results it produced. Those schools that we could characterize as "transformative" all embodied a transformative vision, committed to transformative practices and reflected upon...

I point out that adolescent Facebook users in fact do orient towards different norms of language use by means of self- and other-corrections. I argue that corrections of language use are about more than mere orientation toward linguistic correctness and I suggest that correction practices on Facebook provide information about social relations among the adolescents I study. By carrying out... DOWNLOAD BOOKMARK ;.,An Andreas Stehr drea University of Copenhagen, Department of Nordic Research, Post-Doc Standard language in urban rap - Social media, linguistic practice and ethnographic context This article focuses on a case that compared to previous studies of hip hop language, is surprising; a group of adolescents in Copenhagen increasingly use more monolingual, standard linguistic practices in their hip hop productions on YouTube. We argue that to fully understand this development, it is necessary to take into account the local, socio-cultural meanings given to particular linguistic resources, and that this cannot be fully captured without attention to the ethnographic and sociolinguistic context. We find that the hip hop language and literacy practices in this context are...

His moral ambiguity is analyzed through a case of school bully and an abuse of authority. The study shows Bod's moral ambiguity when he and his guardian are victimized. To understand his emotional development and friendship with Scarlett, David Elkind's child development theories, Deborah Tannen's, and Carol Gilligan's adolescent development theories are used to examine the cause and how their conflicts are resolved....
