Burning All Illusions / David Edwards

Public ISBD Title : Burning All Illusions : A Guide to Personal and Political Freedom Material Type: printed text Authors: David Edwards, Author Publisher: Boston [USA] : South End Press Publication Date: 1996 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-89608-531-2 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Activism and Community Organizing Politics Abstract: This is a book about freedom. Above all about the idea that there is often no greater obstacle to freedom than the assumption that it has already been attained. What prison, after all, could be more secure than that deemed to be "the world," where boundaries of action and thought are assumed to define not the limits of the permissible, but the limits of the possible. In the past we have been prisoners of tyrants and dictators, and consequently have needed to win our freedom in very concrete, physical terms. We now need to free ourselves not from a slave ship or a concentration camp, but from many of the illusions fostered in our democratic society.

Discipline and Punish / Michel Foucault

Public ISBD Title : Discipline and Punish : The Birth of the Prison Material Type: printed text Authors: Michel Foucault, Author Publisher: Vintage Books Publication Date: 1975 ISBN (or other code): 978-0-679-75255-4 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Philosophy Prisons and Criminalization Keywords: Philosophy, Prison Abstract: "Barely two hundred and fifty years ago man condemned of attempting to assassinate the King of France was drawn and quartered in a grisly spectacle that suggested an unmediated duel between the violence of the criminal and the violence of the state. This groundbreaking book by the most influential philosopher since Sartre compels us to reevaluate our assumptions about all the ensuing reforms in the penal institutions of the West. For as he examines innovations that range from the abolition of torture to the institution of forced labor and the appearance of the modern penitentiary, Michel Foucault suggests that punishment has shifted its locus from the prisoner's body to his soul--and that our very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity. Lucidly reasoned and deftly marshaling a vast body of research, Discipline and Punish is a genuinely revolutionary book, whose implications extend beyond the prison to the minute power relations of our society."

Gay Rights and the Mormon Church / Gregory A. Prince

Public ISBD Title : Gay Rights and the Mormon Church Material Type: printed text Authors: Gregory A. Prince, Author Publisher: The University of Utah Press ISBN (or other code): 978-1-607-81663-8 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Gender and Sex Human Rights Queer Religion and Spirituality Social Movements Unpopular History Abstract: The Mormon Church publicly challenged LGBTQ rights when it sided with traditional marriage proponents in Hawaii in 1993. Since then, the church has used its political influence to pursue a position against those rights in the United States. Gregory A. Prince draws from thousands of pages of public records, private documents, and interview transcripts to uncover the Mormon Church's focus on homosexuality over the past fifty years. Prince shows that although the church initially investigated homosexuality only among its membership, when it entered the Hawaiian political arena in 1992, it signalled an intent to go beyond its ranks to win the marriage-equality battle. The church's public activism against LGBTQ rights reached a peaked in 2008 during California's fight over Proposition 8, an initiative banning same-sex marriage that many came to call the "Mormon Proposition." The actions the church has taken against LGBTQ rights have often resulted in unforeseeable or unintended consequences, including public backlash, reactive court decisions, and mass resignations of church members. In response, the church somewhat softened its stance against gay marriage. In 2015, however, when the Supreme Court made marriage equality the law of the land, the church once again turned its attention inward, declaring same-sex couples "apostates" and denying their children access to essential Mormon rites of passage, including the blessing of infants and the baptism of children. Gay Rights and the Mormon Church is informed by extensive interviews, unusual access to documentary records, and Princ's scientific background. It is a significant contribution to a subject at the forefront of many Mormon lives. Gay Rights and the Mormon Church [printed text] / Gregory A.

The History of Sexuality / Michel Foucault

Foucault argues that discourse on sexuality in fact proliferated during this period, during which experts began to examine sexuality in a scientific manner, encouraging people to confess their sexual feelings and actions. According to Foucault, in the 18th and 19th centuries society took an increasing interest in sexualities that did not fit within the marital bond: the "world of perversion" that includes the sexuality of children, the mentally ill, the criminal and the homosexual, while by the 19th century, sexuality was being readily explored both through confession and scientific enquiry."
