Product Description

Long-Form Improvised theater can be found in cities across the globe. This peculiar form of entertainment holds surprises for both audience and performer. From a few suggestions from the audience, performers create a whole act of spontaneous, often comedic, theater. A sense of unity and oneness can emerge from the interaction between performers. Utilizing an ethnographic study of Long-Form performers, shows and audiences, this book explores this uncanny experience and investigates what it is that can lead to these feelings.

Product Description

In this book, preeminent semiotician Arthur Asa Berger decodes the meanings of common objects of consumption and their perceived “sacredness” in consumerist cultures. Using semiotic theory, consumer culture is dissected in new and fascinating ways. The first part of the book introduces semiotic theory and its key theorists and practitioners. The second part applies semiotic theory to interpret advertising, marketing, and branding. With levity and precision, Berger leads students to think critically about our lives and the menu of lifestyles promoted by corporations that profit from branded consumption.

Written by experienced practitioners, Professional Conduct equips the reader with a solid understanding of the key ethical and professional conduct issues which underpin all types of practice at the Bar. Including full discussion of the letter and spirit of the Code of Conduct issued by the Bar Standards Board, the manual provides full coverage of the professional conduct principles which govern the working relationships of the barrister with the client, prosecution or defence counsel, the courts and other members of the legal profession. The manual also features a dedicated chapter which identifies the key principles of professional conduct applicable to the core skills of the barrister ensuring that the reader is fully able to uphold the high professional standards of the Bar across all areas of practice. Potentially problematic areas of practice are identified throughout, and practical guidance is given on the correct approach to follow in such situations should they be encountered in practice. The manual also features a number of exercises designed to encourage the reader to consider how professional conduct principles apply to realistic scenarios. For ease of reference, the full Code of Conduct is provided as an appendix at the end of the manual.

Product Description

Kane identifies and analyzes some of the major conflicts of principle which characterize world politics today. These include debates over the ethics of war, economic redistribution, resource consumption and the rights and responsibilities associated with membership of a political community. According to the author, debates such as these are being drawn towards increasingly polarized positions represented by strongly universalist and particularist moral and political ideologies, such as cosmopolitanism and republicanism. As such, this study suggests that the potential for ideologically-driven conflict will constitute the greatest challenge facing scholars and policymakers in the twenty-first century.

The Just War Doctrine was first enunciated by St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) and has come down through history. Conditions for a Just War are generally agreed to include these: it can be waged only when non-violent options are exhausted; it can be fought only to redress a wrong; it must not produce evils graver than the evil to be eliminated.
