E-book Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know®

The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s, when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles"--behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology.

E-book The Propagation of Misinformation in Social Media : A Cross-platform A…

While scholars of hearsay, rumor and conspiracism would point to the history of its staying power (Olmsted, 2009), the spread of misinformation and other problematic information is said to be “supercharged” by contemporary social media (Bounegru et al., 2018; Daniels, 2018). The following examines that thesis through an analysis of the current state of what globally could be called the “m…

E-book The Roll in England and France in the Late Middle Ages

f a poll were carried out to establish which form of manuscript, the codex or the roll, the public associated more with the Middle Ages, the result would probably see the codex taking most votes.

E-book Relative Histories : Mediating History in Asian American Family Memoirs

In general, I distinguish between four models of the kind of text gener-ally (in publishing and reviews) classified as “family memoirs”. As with all forms of literature, there are no definitive barriers between the forms I clas-sify as distinct. Part of my interest in contemporary auto/biographical writ-ing lies in how writers continually open up possibilities for self-representation throug…

E-book Psychology : The Science of Mind and Behaviour

These theoretical differences partly reflect the complexity of the subject matter. Perhaps more importantly, there’s a very real sense in which we are all ‘Psychologists’ in our everyday lives: Psychologists as scientists/researchers use fundamental cognitive processes in order to investigate those same processes (such as perception and memory); hence, Psychologists (with an upper-case �…

E-book Gianni Versace

Versace posed and provoked the basic issues of fashion's role. Versace tantalized us with vulgarity. In this, he adapted a strategy from the fine arts in the twentieth century, including elements of the banal and coarse in his sensibility. The collage, smarmy joke, offensive imagery, and ready-made object pertinent in the juggernaut of modern art are evidence of an attempt to be vulgar. Versace…

Political actors have, in turn, employed …

E-book The Emergence of Modern Hinduism : Religion on the Margins of Colonialism

For millennia, one of the most consistent characteristics of Hindu traditions has been variation.

Studies of religion in ancient India stress doctrinal variation in the period, when ideas about pe…

E-book Black Eggs : Poems by Kurihara Sadako

Poems and poets : people greet them with scorn andpoke fun at them. Why is that?

If poetry required only a unique sensitivityand dreamy beauty, then hysterics and the mentally il…
