Într-o eră de evoluție tehnologică rapidă, internetul a devenit o parte a vieții de zi cu zi, influențând toate aspectele societății, de la structurile economice la interacțiunile sociale. Lucrarea se axează pe impactul profund al rețelelor sociale (SNS), cum ar fi Instagram și Facebook, asupra formării identității de gen a adolescenților, concentrându-se pe cei cu vârste cuprinse între 15 și 19 ani din regiunea Nord-Est a României. Această carte explorează modul în care tinerii folosesc instrumentele digitale pentru a-și crea și exercita identitățile online, evidențiind rolul semnificativ al genului în modelarea acestor auto-prezentări. Folosește o abordare cu metode mixte, combinând un sondaj cantitativ și metode calitative, cum ar fi focus grupuri și analiza fotografică, pentru a oferi o imagine cuprinzătoare a modului în care adolescenții navighează și își exprimă identitatea de gen în spațiile digitale, folosind teoria dramaturgiei lui Goffman.
Extending from the belief that masculinities are multiple, consisting of complexities and constructions that make up the traits associated with each, this book explores the various ways in which boys and men are conditioned to view women as inferior to themselves and predominantly sexual objects—and the deleterious effects this has on both women and men, society, and culture at large. Beginning in childhood, the book provides a critical framework to understand one form of masculinity referred to as "bro culture," and how it is reproduced and reinforced through popular culture, social institutions, and patriarchal forms of religion and politics. Weaving together current research with illumi...
A color biography of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that explores her rise and impact on the future of American culture and politics.
This text explores the re-assertion of right-wing populist and fascist ideologies as presented and distributed in the media. In particular, attacks on immigrants, women, minorities, and LGBTQI people are increasing, inspired by the election of politicians who openly support authoritarian discourse and scapegoating. More troubling is how this discourse is inscribed into laws and policies. Despite the urgency of the situation, the Left has been unable to effectively respond to these events, from liberals insisting on hands-off free speech policies, including covering "both sides of the issue" to socialists who utilize a tunnel vision focus on economic issues at the expense of women and minorit...
A series of near-riots on campuses aimed at silencing guest speakers has exposed the fact that our universities are no longer devoted to the free exchange of ideas in pursuit of truth. But this hostility to free speech is only a symptom of a deeper problem, writes John Ellis. Having watched the deterioration of academia up close for the past fifty years, Ellis locates the core of the problem in a change in the composition of the faculty during this time, from mildly left-leaning to almost exclusively leftist. He explains how astonishing historical luck led to the success of a plan first devised by a small group of activists to use college campuses to promote radical politics, and why laws an...
Since mid-2018, when she registered one of the biggest primary election upsets in the nation, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as one of the most influential voices of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Few politicians have experienced a rise as meteoric as the one that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (or AOC, as she is commonly known) has experienced since her June 2018 Democratic primary upset victory over a powerful, longtime incumbent and her subsequent triumph in the November 2018 midterms. This book examines how the telegenic lawmaker—a life-long New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent—engineered that startling victory, why her life story and ideas made her such a focus of national attention, how she has used Twitter and other social media to amplify her calls for economic justice and civil rights equality, and why, since she took office in January 2019, she has come to be regarded as one of the most consequential and influential lawmakers in Congress. It will also help readers understand AOC's most deeply held political convictions, policymaking priorities, and personal principles.
