Doing a Phenomenology of Political Life: Social Critique, Sense-Institution, and Political Emancipation by Andreea Smaranda Aldea English | January 3, 2026 | ISBN: 303205575X | 409 pages | True ePUB, PDF | 16 Mb Starting from the hypothesis that all human forms of life have a political dimension - be it clearly expressed or hidden, conscious or unconscious - this volume examines the ways in which political life can be fruitfully analyzed with the help of phenomenological methodologies. Examining issues of power dynamics as they relate to pervasive epistemic and axiological commitments as well as deeply seated socio-cultural and institutional practices, this text opens and develops, through a radical critical lens and a commitment to the emancipatory potential of theoretical work, innovative paths for phenomenological investigations of the complex political aspects of our shared lived experiences. These investigations, both focused on the content matter at hand and on their own methodology, draw on phenomenological resources as well as resources from other philosophical traditions and fields, such as critical theory, feminist philosophy, and queer theory.

Documenting Intimate Matters: Primary Sources for a History of Sexuality in America English | 5 Dec. 2012 | ASIN: B00A28OUZQ | 256 pages | EPUB (True) | 927.23 KB "Thorough, and timely... sure to be a popular and valued companion to courses on the history of sexuality and gender in the United States." -Regina Kunzel, University of Minnesota Over time, sexuality in America has changed dramatically. Frequently redefined and often subject to different systems of regulation, it has been used as a means of control; it has been a way to understand ourselves and others; and it has been at the center of fierce political storms, including some of the most crucial changes in civil rights in recent years. Edited by Thomas A. Foster, Documenting Intimate Matters features seventy-two documents that collectively highlight the broad diversity inherent in the history of American sexuality. Complementing the third edition of Intimate Matters , by John D'Emilio and Estelle B. Freedman-often hailed as the definitive survey of sexual history in America-the multiple narratives presented by these documents reveal the complexity of this subject in US history. The historical moments captured in this volume show that, contrary to popular misconception, the history of sexuality is not a simple story of increased freedoms and sexual liberation, but an ongoing struggle between change and continuity.  Doctoring Documents: Mistruth in History and Cybersecurity (River Publishers Series in Document Engineering) by Steven Simske, Dallen Simske English | December 2, 2025 | ISBN: 8770048339 | 336 pages | MOBI | 1.00 Mb This book explores the primary methods, presented as a set of thirteen patterns, used to insert mistruth in historical narratives. These patterns culminate in the broadest of patterns, versioning and propaganda, which are used to show that mistruth is unavoidable in any historical narrative. This also supports the argument that a primary task of the historian is to provide their own contextual considerations sufficiently to help their readers create their own version. The value of a deep, mistruth-aware analysis of history is thus shown to be crucial for understanding how to protect data of all types in today's electronic society. |
