      The radicalism of ethnomethodology

      A critical assessment of sources and principles

      by Martyn Hammersley

      There have been relatively few well-informed, critical assessments of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. This book examines some of the background to these approaches, notably the influence of Schutz and phenomenology. It also compares Garfinkel's approach with those of Goffman and Simmel, and assesses the influence of Cicourel and conversation analysis on research methodology. The core of the book is an in-depth assessment of the rationale for ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, and of their relationship to mainstream social science. While the importance of the issues that these epistemologically and ontologically radical approaches raise is underlined, a number of fundamental problems are identified with the rationale underpinning them.

      Awakening Leadership

      Embracing Mindfulness, Your Life’s Purpose, and the Leader You Were Born to Be

      by Horner, Christine

      Human advancement requires the realization that each one of us has an essential role to fulfill to lead humanity into a new era of true equality and prosperity. In Awakening Leadership, Horner describes how mindfulness connects us to the Unified Field of Creation, opening the door to our infinite potential and our life’s purpose. If Earth’s prime directive is oneness, its universal guiding principle is sustainability. In the New Leadership Blueprint, sustainability becomes the all-inclusive compass that redefines morality, values, the way we care for one another and the planet. Transcending boundaries, Awakening Leadership is an illuminating “human” guide that will inspire you to immediately begin living your life on purpose toward building a better world. It’s your time to thrive! www.ChristineHorner.com. www.AwakeningLeader.org

      MUTATIONS: DISSONANCES OF PROGRESS

      by Adauto Novates (editor)

      The eleventh book in the series Mutations, Dissonances of progress discusses how the progress of technology brought undeniable benefits to humanity – such as advances in medicine and communication –, improving our daily life. On the other hand, it brought speed and superficiality to the relations of the human being with its surroundings, and degraded several aspects of current life with the exacerbation of individualism, the substitution of moral values, the overestimation of religious beliefs, the economy as the utmost referential of life in common, the knowledge of specialists to the detriment of thinkers. The essays in this volume analyze this situation and indicate paths for reflection.

      How and Why We Must Build a More Compassionate Society

      by Jason Wood

      If a measure of our humanity is how we treat the most vulnerable, our report card is bleak. Our politics is divided, people in need are too often treated with cruelty, and the systems we built to support others are creaking. Welfare too often fails, sometimes with tragic consequences. Yet, the help we give to others can be more effective, more accepted, and more just if we cultivate greater levels of compassion to put it at the heart of public life and potentially resolve these challenges. In this book, Jason Wood reviews the research and talks to experts from across the world to make the moving case for greater compassion in public life.

      How to Leave Your Man: Why it’s so hard for mothers to leave their partnersShe’s finally done it! The „World’s Worst Housewife" has left her partner and moved with her two childreninto her own apartment, or as she puts it: been gentrified away to the outskirts of Berlin. Jacinta Nandi hadalways expected that as a single mom, a whole other host of problems would be awaiting her. The mainproblems are financial: the truth is, it’s really hard for ordinary mothers - with ordinary incomes - to leavetheir partners and set up their own lives.Why does society make it so hard for women to leave men? Could it be that women in general, and mothersin particular, are not expected to be free? And if they do decide to fight for their freedom, they have to paya high price for it.Jacinta Nandi writes about slut-shaming and pity, the pressure to constantly justify yourself and society’spesky double standards. She shows us that it’s not only the violent relationships that are shitty, that beingtold what a great dad your ex is isn’t always helpful and why Isaac Newton was certainly not a single parent.She asks why married women show a lack of solidarity by baking ridiculously good cakes, and what it meansto be a single mom by choice. Why do mothers always have to be perfect while fathers are somehow alwaysgood enough? What has to change in order for mothers to no longer feel forced to stay in relationshipsthat are not serving them? Leave your husband – things can only get better!

      The Game Master

      by Ian D Copsey

      What is it like to be someone else – especially your most hated enemy? Why do they think and do things differently? Tired of arguing over which of them was the best gamer, Josh and Alex stumbled upon a new video game shop, run by an enigmatic and amiable Japanese shopkeeper. He was to be their Game Master in this virtual reality video game that had no game controls. Little did they know it was a game that would change their lives, of their friends… and enemies… forever. “Oh! This game is no ordinary game,” The Game Master explained, “It reads your thoughts, seeks out your weaknesses to give challenges that are right just for you, the challenges you need to help you grow.” "It can read our minds?" puzzled the boys. As they progressed through the game’s levels they found out more about themselves and the lives of everyone around them. Mysteriously, the Game of Life began to spread its influence beyond Josh and Alex’s lives and to their friends. From Josh and Alex switching roles with each other in the game, campfire frolics and ghostly stories from their teachers, the boys learned more about their friends around them. The Game Master’s zany antics as he hosted a T.V. game show, “Hiro’s Happy Heroes” in the Game of Life, released a string of rib tickling gags, teases and tantalising tattles. The climax of the Game of Life came from the school Rube Goldberg challenge in which each grade had to join as a team to build their own whacky, madcap contraption. Would Josh and Alex be able to manage to get the two bullies in the class to work within the team? Patiently, with impish humour, the Game Master guides them through the different levels to a final intriguing twist.

      by Howard Baker

      SAWDUST CAESAR Stylish young Mod, school-leaver Tommy has to forget his friends and grow up quickly when he gets caught up with the criminal activities of his murdered friend's big brother bent on revenge. The true 'face' of Sixties Mods and Rockers. * Sawdust Caesar depicts the coming-of-age of Tommy who, with his friend Dinger, both fresh out of school, are making a small name for themselves as up-and-coming young criminals. But when Dinger is murdered by Kenser, the leader of a gang of bikers, the mood of the story changes when Dinger's older brother Vince, one of the top men in The Firm, recruits Tommy in place of his little brother. While Tommy's young eyes are being forcibly opened by the more unpleasant aspects of gangland life, Vince continues his search for Dinger's killers, eliminating each of the gang one by one. To further complicate Tommy's increasingly tenuous relationship with the mob, he is seduced by Beryl, the attractive wife of Ray, the top man. Worse, they are discovered in bed by Vince. But Vince has his own secret, a psychopathic aversion to street girls, and, after berating Tommy for messing around with his best friend's wife, rather than rock the boat he lets the matter drop, preferring instead to use the information as a means of retaining Tommy's diminishing loyalty. Kenser, by now the only survivor of the gang, is caught and achieves unexpected fame as the star of a snuff movie. But Vince's time on Earth also draws to a close when Ray discovers that he is the call-girl killer. Faced with gangland execution, Vince displays an unexpected side to his nature by letting Tommy off the hook - by failing to disclose information which could have led to his own survival.

      Discourse and Power

      Introduction to critical narrative theory

      by Peter V. Zima

      The book is an introduction into discourse analysis and an application of the concept of discourse to the exercise of power. In part one, the concept is demarcated vis à vis related notions such as “text” and “narrative”. At the same time, discourse is considered as an instrument of domination. In part two, sociology of the text as a reformulation of structural semiotics (Greimas) is applied to psychiatric, legal, political and scientific discourses as instruments of power.

      About Shame

      by Laura Späth

      Shame is taboo, shame is painful - and yet each of us has to deal with it sooner or later. But where does this shame come from, what does it do to us and how can we deal with it positively? Starting from her own biography, from shameful experiences in different phases of life, Laura Späth traces different aspects of shame – shame for one‘s own body, for certain feelings or for mental illnesses - and at the same time reveals, with the help of social psychological approaches, what role social structures and power relations play for one‘s own shame. The author pleads for questioning individual feelings of shame, but nevertheless giving shame more space in our lives. She states: We do not have to be ashamed of our shame.
