Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in
this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her
colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah
Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team
up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins
(McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug
baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred
- soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a
grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing
in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a
force to be reckoned with.
This book defends the much-disputed view that emotions are what
Hume referred to as 'original existences': feeling states that have
no intentional or representational properties of their own. In
doing so, the book serves as a valuable counterbalance to the now
mainstream view that emotions are representational mental states.
Beginning with a defence of a feeling theory of emotion, Whiting
opens up a whole new way of thinking about the role and centrality
of emotion in our lives, showing how emotion is key to a proper
understanding of human motivation and the self. Whiting establishes
that emotions as types of bodily feelings serve as the categorical
bases for our behavioural dispositions, including those associated
with moral thought, virtue, and vice. The book concludes by
advancing the idea that emotions make up our intrinsic nature - the
characterisation of what we are like in and of ourselves, when
considered apart from how we are disposed to behave. The conclusion
additionally draws out the implications of the claims made
throughout the book in relation to our understanding of mental
illness and the treatment of emotional disorders.
Adjunctive Technologies in the Management of Head and Neck
Pathology, An Issue of Oral and Maxillofacial Clinics of North
America,
Drawing on twenty years of research, this book examines the
historical perspective of a Pacific people who saw
“globalization†come and go. Suau people encountered the
leading edge of missionization and colonialism in Papua New Guinea
and were active participants in the Second World War. In Memory of
Times to Come offers a nuanced account of how people assess their
own experience of change over the course of a critical century. It
asks two key questions: What does it mean to claim that global
connections are in the past rather than the present or the future,
and what does it mean to claim that one has lost one’s culture,
but not because anyone else took it away or destroyed it?
This book explores the role and implications of responsibility for
anthropology, asking how responsibility is recognised and invoked
in the world, what relations it draws upon, and how it comes to
define notions of the person, institutional practices, ways of
knowing and modes of evaluation. The category of responsibility has
a long genealogy within the discipline of anthropology and it
surfaces in contemporary debates as well as in anthropologists’
collaboration with other disciplines, including when anthropology
is applied in fields such as development, medicine, and
humanitarian response. As a category that unsettles, challenges and
critically engages with political, ethical and epistemological
questions, responsibility is central to anthropological theory,
ethnographic practice, collaborative research, and applied
engagement. With chapters focused on a variety of cultural
contexts, this volume considers how anthropology can contribute to
a better understanding of responsibility, including the
‘responsibility of anthropology’ and the responsibility of
anthropologists to specific others.

Transitional justice seeks to establish a break between the violent
past and a peaceful, democratic future, and is based on compelling
frameworks of resolution, rupture and transition. Bringing together
contributions from the disciplines of law, history and
anthropology, this comprehensive volume challenges these
frameworks, opening up critical conversations around the concepts
of justice and injustice; history and record; and healing,
transition and resolution. The authors explore how these concepts
operate across time and space, as well as disciplinary boundaries.
They examine how transitional justice mechanisms are utilised to
resolve complex legacies of violence in ways that are often narrow,
partial and incomplete, and reinforce existing relations of power.
They also destabilise the sharp distinction between 'before' and
'after' war or conflict that narratives of transition and
resolution assume and reproduce. As transitional justice continues
to be celebrated and promoted around the globe, this book provides
a much-needed reflection on its role and promises. It not only
critiques transitional justice frameworks but offers new ways of
thinking about questions of violence, conflict, justice and
injustice. It was originally published as a special issue of the
Australian Feminist Law Journal.
This work contains a selection of annotated documents, including
party platforms and declarations of the major political groupings
in the Islamic republics of the former Soviet Union. The book
covers primarily the period from 1991 to 1994, which can be
characterized as the first stage in the formation of a pluralistic
society in these emerging states. Two divergent trends of
developments can be identified from the sources: the first is a
tendency toward the creation of independent states based on
traditional models; the other towards independent states with
Western-style democracies and pro-Russian orientation.
