Cross-border Marriages and Mobility - Avital Binah-Pollak - eBook (9789048538270)

*Cross-border Marriages and Mobility: Female Chinese Migrants and Hong Kong Men* focuses on cross-border marriages between mainland Chinese women and Hong Kong men, a phenomenon which is of critical importance to the transformation of Hong Kong. By examining the women's motivations for migration and lived experiences in relation to the discursive, political, economic, and social circumstances of mainland China and Hong Kong, Avital Binah-Pollak demonstrates how these marital practices are causing the expanding and blurring of borders, so that there is a much wider strip of border in which the dichotomies of the rural/urban, periphery/center, and hybrid/national identities become more complex and negotiable. While this is particularly interesting and valid in the case of the border between mainland China and Hong Kong because of the particular nature of the relationship between these two societies, it may also apply to borders between many other societies worldwide.

Sexuality, Subjectivity, and LGBTQ Militancy in the United States - Guillaume Marche - eBook (9789048528646)

As LGBTQ movements in Western Europe and North America are becoming increasingly successful at awarding LGBTQ people rights, especially institutional recognition for same-sex couples and their families, what becomes of the deeper social transformation that these movements initially aimed to achieve? The United States is in many ways a paradigmatic model for LGBTQ movements in other countries. This book focuses on the transformations of the United States' LGBTQ movement since the 1980s, highlighting the relationship between its institutionalization and the disappearance of sexuality from its most visible claims, so that its growing visibility and legitimation since the 1990s have not led to an increase in militancy. The book examines the issue from the bottom up, identifying the links between the varying importance of sexuality as a movement theme and actors' mobilization, and enhances the import of subjectivity in militancy. It draws attention to cultural, sometimes infrapolitical, for…

Movie Circuits - Gabriel Menotti - eBook (9789048527540)

Movie Circuits is a book about cinema; more precisely, it is about how technological changes are negotiated within the operation of the medium, thus resulting in the preservation, obsolescence and expansion of its conventional apparatus. Based on an active effort to take distance from traditional disciplines, the author produces scholarship from the standpoint of the flusserian functionaries of the apparatus. He deploys his empirical, hands-on experience with the medium underpinnings, both as a projectionist and a curator, as a form of practice-based approach able to pierce through the veils of the scientific paradigm and medial ideology alike, in order to better comprehend the relationship between moving image and media technology. Departing from the modes of organization of cinema promoted by different cultural practices, from art making to piracy, the volume does a critical revision of current theories, putting into question the institutional character of medium ontology.

Fated Encounter - Layla Heart - eBook (9789493139121)

Six lovers struggling to come up with a plan to stop the fae king, one chance to save their kingdoms. While Rune and Bane are still recovering from their wounds, Finn is nearly assassinated by his aunt during the meeting with the werewolf king and the succubus queen, prompting Bane’s mum to send them off to one of their lesser-known houses, trying to keep them out of harm’s way. But that choice may not have been as spontaneous as it first seemed, as the cottage is filled with books about some very dangerous topics. As the six dive into the wealth of information, they start to doubt not only the history they’ve always been taught, but even the circumstances of their prophecy. Before the last war, their ancestors had been together at the last witch queen’s court, working on an elixir with eerily similar properties as the one the fae king uses to stop the dragons from shifting, and then the witch queen went missing. Their world falls apart more with each piece of information the…

Linking High-Level Accused to Sexual and Gender-Based Crimes in International Criminal Law - Sylvester Sammie - eBook (9789051897937)

Linking High-level Accused to Sexual and Gender-Based Crimes in International Criminal Law focuses on the theoretical and practical perspectives taken by the ICTY, ICTR, and ICC. It seeks to answer the question of how high-level officials can and should be investigated and prosecuted for their role in the commission of sexual and gender-based crimes. The author examines the forms, types, and amount of evidence used to prove the role of these high-level accused in the commission of crimes by rank-and-file soldiers. As the accused are usually not present on the crime scene, the international criminal courts and tribunals must rely on individual criminal liability theories enshrined in Article 7 ICTY Statute, Article 6 ICTR Statute, and Articles 25 & 28 Rome Statute to connect them to the atrocities committed on the ground. 100 individual cases from the ICTY, ICTR, and ICC are examined and reveal that in most cases there was sufficient evidence to prove that sexual and gender-based crimes…
