Latino Resistance, Activism, and Social Movements Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Organista Kurt C. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This final chapter provides a historical through present day overview of Latino resistance, activism, and social movements that continue to advance Latino social positionality and well-being in America. Key struggles, political leaders and organizations, are highlighted with emphasis on the current immigration rights movement, the inhospitable climate surrounding Latino immigration, and the cross-race and class coalitions necessary for sustainable human and civil rights and countering polarization in America. Such background information is foundational to enhancing professional practice by elevating awareness of Latino social and cultural assets which can be supported and integrated into interventions to more effectively mitigate psychosocial and health problems over-affecting Latino populations in the United States.
A regulatory fucking mess
Authors: Roache Rebecca 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter details the regulations on swearing. Around the world, rules designed to prohibit, censor, or punish swearing are enshrined in laws, broadcasting codes, and professional and sporting practices. Moreover, judgments about exactly what someone is doing with their words can have life-or-death consequences. The chapter notes how grappling with ambiguities is a common feature of communication with others, citing how a situation may be more confusing when swearing is involved. It details the importance of avoiding confusion and promoting fairness in regulations around swearing, citing that rulemakers need to provide specific guidance about what sorts of factors make an instance of swearing particularly objectionable.
How to do things with swearing
Authors: Roache Rebecca 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses some influential work in the philosophy of language to sketch out a framework that can be used to make sensible decisions about how to regulate swearing. According to Oxford philosopher John Langshaw Austin, language is not simply a tool to describe or refer to things in the world as it can be used to perform various speech acts. However, Austin believes that swearing expresses feelings, but it does not necessarily fit the framework he sketched. The chapter also considers how speech acts can be performed without using words and through gestures. It cites how the offensiveness of offensive gestures can be explained by offense escalation similar to swear words.
Fairer swearers
Authors: Roache Rebecca 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter considers how bias and influence affect offensive swearing. Swearing’s power to shock and offend means that whenever someone swears, people can hear the threat they are making, the anger they are expressing, or the contempt they are conveying. Instead of relying on gut feelings to compare the offensiveness of swearing, people should identify individual factors that make swearing more or less offensive. The chapter explains that the judgment should not infer the swearers’ race, gender, accent, or other irrelevant considerations to ensure it remains relevant to the situation. It considers the social intuitionist model of moral judgment to provide a framework that can help understand how to train judgments to be more accurate.
Cunt and ‘cunt’
Authors: Roache Rebecca 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks into how to mitigate the offensiveness of swear words while referencing the term cunt. It introduces the concept of sanitization wherein a swear word is partially or wholly censored by replacing some or all of the letters in a written swear word. The most universally recognized method of sanitizing swear words is using asterisks and bleeps. The chapter explains that the mitigation of unsanitized swear words' offensiveness involves quoting and mentioning, but both methods do not completely protect against causing offense. It mentions how news outlets use sanitization all the time since they have to balance conveying the message while adhering to their policies around language use.
How the f*** do asterisks work?
Authors: Roache Rebecca 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter looks into the effectiveness of asterisks in mitigating swear words. The practice of sanitising swear words with asterisks or other symbols is widely and effectively used as a way of communicating swear words without causing offense. sanitization signals the speaker's intentions and attitudes toward her audience. Moreover, sanitization works in a similar way to many other widely accepted ways of expressing respect. The sanitization also allows the writer to communicate the swear word while also communicating that she recognizes its offensiveness and wants to mitigate that offensiveness. The chapter mentions how sanitization is sometimes ineffective at reducing offensiveness as it could only make matters worse.
Conclusion
Authors: Roache Rebecca 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This conclusive chapter considers swearing as a form of superpower. It highlights the vast complexity and richness of the way people use language to relate to each other. Swearing unveils how language can be used to express and communicate emotion, intimacy, and shared values. Moreover, the knee-jerk response to swearing can conceal bias and prejudice, which could be a problem if the assumptions are fast-tracked into law or any formal regulations. The chapter then expounds on how to use the power of swearing to reflect and reinforce social values in order to create a more just society and fight injustice.
Before the Strike
Authors: Sutcliffe-Braithwaite Florence , Thomlinson Natalie 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the contours of ‘traditional’ mining communities pre-1939, and surveys the many social changes that affected miners, their wives, families, and communities in the decades after 1945. It analyses changes in fertility, working patterns, education, and patterns of home-ownership in coalfield communities in Britain in the twentieth century. It explores how coalfield communities changed in Britain in this period, and looks at patterns of gendered space within them. Finally, it examines the relationship of coalfield women to politics during this period, and also looks at the politics of the NUM immediately prior to the strike of 1984–5. It argues that many of the features that were seen as novel in coalfields by left-wing commentators during the 1984–5 strike, such as women’s political participation, were in fact visible long before the dispute.
Introduction
Authors: Zimmermann Jens 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this introductory chapter, editor Jens Zimmermann enumerates, by way of Martin Heidegger, Michel Henry, Nikolai Berdyaev, Jacques Ellul, and others, the many challenges that modern technology poses to genuine human flourishing—constriction of the imagination; exploitation of persons and the natural world; abuses of instrumental power; the quantification and economic liquidation of all things; and so on. He traces these changes back to revolutions in human understanding of and interaction with the world as early as the seventeenth century: Galileo’s mathematization of the universe, and Descartes’ cleaving and disintegration of the mind and body in anthropology. Despite the obvious benefits of modern technological advancement, these highly questionable and impoverished philosophical transitions have led to the rise of what Michel Henry calls a ‘techno-scientific’ vision of reality, which effects both a reduction of all experience into mere technical problems to be solved; and, in turn, a severe neglect of features of human being integral to what it means to be a true person: embodiment, relationality, creativity, and spontaneity. Zimmermann concludes by introducing the chapters that comprise the volume.
From Living Souls to Software Selves
Authors: Doede Robert 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Robert Doede’s chapter on the intellectual history of technology will provide the interpretive framework for the remaining chapters in this volume. In his contribution, he delineates some of the key conceptual shifts—the late medieval via moderna, early modern science’s mechanical metaphors for the universe, the late modern information revolution—in the history of the West that have crucially contributed to the plausibility of the contemporary transhumanist project of engineering mind-uploading. Doede explains how it is that contemporary scientists, philosophers, and intelligent laypersons find it easy, indeed almost natural, to take seriously that they are beings whose living identities are capable of being captured as digital software patterns, thereby decoupled from their vital bodies, and then uploaded onto a non-biodegradable substrate where they can carry on their lives in perpetuity; and why such a vision is, despite its mechanistic grammar, one fundamentally characterized as a striving for the re-enchantment of the world.
Oh, That We Might Learn to See Everything Differently
Authors: Moyse Ashley John 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Heeding American theologian William Stringfellow’s claim that dissent is a humanizing action, Ashley Moyse here exposes the failure of transhumanists to see human being rightly. Employing critical philosophy of technology, he shows how the modern imagination in general has been turned away from the real world of life and toward the fictional world of a future perfect of re-engineered and re-animated zeros and ones, or sequences of qubits, which in turn leads to the construction of anti-human desires. Concomitantly, while dissenting from the profane doctrine that perpetuates such desires, the chapter points, by way of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth (among others), toward a schooling in and by Christ, a turn toward Christian traditions and their treatment of the body, in order to present a robust theological examination of the biological reality of being. Such reality will be illumined to demonstrate that the body—the physical word of the soul—is essential for unity.
Human Flourishing, Disability, and Technology
Authors: McLaughlin Eleanor 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, Eleanor McLaughlin assesses the role of technology in the flourishing of disabled persons in two steps. First, she defines human flourishing as depending in large part on our relationships with others. The author suggests that, despite Christian theology’s historical failure to understand this relational core of human flourishing (evidenced by the church’s supporting the us/them divide between people with and without disabilities), there are nevertheless resources within theology—e.g., Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s and Deborah Creamer’s treatments of ontological limitedness—that can help overcome this divide and thus strengthen relationships between all people. Having distinguished between ontological limitedness which enables flourishing and limits that prevent it, McLaughlin secondly assesses the value of technological enhancement for disabled persons. This distinction allows an evaluation of technology which is positive when technology’s role is to help us overcome specific limits preventing us from flourishing (particularly in helping us build relationships with others), but which is negative when technology seeks to eradicate the ontological ‘limitness’ (cf. Creamer) that gives us the potential to experience God’s grace in our embodied life.
Rethinking Democratic Innovation
Authors: Hendriks Frank 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Rethinking Democratic Innovation takes a fresh look at diverging visions of improving democratic governance and asks whether these existing tensions could be made productive. Could different visions of democratic revitalization complement and correct each other in ways that are good for democracy? Is it conceivable that combined approaches address a larger part of the democratic challenge, while isolated approaches, centralizing either deliberative or plebiscitary democracy, are confined to more limited areas of concern? This book ultimately provides an affirmative answer, outlining the scope for hybrid democratic innovations that thrive on exploiting, not eliminating, tensions between diverging visions of improved democracy. Supplementing democratic theory with a cultural perspective, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of plans and methods geared towards improving democratic governance. Revisiting Mary Douglas’s seminal take on culture as pollution reduction, processes of democratic innovation are understood as instances of cultural cleaning in public governance. Rethinking Democratic Innovation recognizes that democratic cleaning will never be finished but can be done in ways that are more productive. Reflecting on varieties of hybrid democratic innovation—deliberative referendums, Participatory Budgeting-new style, and more—the author posits that more versatile, connective, and embedded innovations stand a better chance of high performance on a broader spectrum than democratic innovations falling short of these qualities.
A cultural perspective on purity and democracy
Authors: Hendriks Frank 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter overlays democratic theory with a cultural perspective for gaining a deeper understanding of the ideational variety and social interplay in the quest for democratic betterment. Taking the broader concept with the longest historical lines—democratic reform—as a point of departure, Chapter 2 reveals how this can be understood on a deeper level when using and expanding a conceptual framework inspired by the anthropologist Mary Douglas. Revisiting her seminal take on culture as anomaly management and pollution reduction—‘dirt is matter out of place’—democratic reform is understood as culturally-informed cleaning—an alternation of polishing up (institutionalizing) and rubbing out (de-institutionalizing) what is assumed to be proper (in place), respectively improper (out of place), in democracy. Chapter 2 illuminates culturally-inspired positive and negative feedback mechanisms, fundamental to democratic reform, and by extension to more recent expressions framed as democratic innovation.
Between counters and talkers
Authors: Hendriks Frank 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter revisits the contrast between deliberative and plebiscitary formats, discussed in Chapters 3 and 4, from the angle of democratic-cum-cultural theory, outlined in Chapter 2. Against this backdrop, Chapter 5 explores what is budding, often experimentally, in the area between the two poles. At first sight, much of this seems to be played out in the lower half of the democratic-cultural matrix—where bottom-up visions of aggregative voting and counting (‘healthy aggregation’) coexist with bottom-up visions of integrative talk and collaboration (‘smart sourcing’). On closer inspection, however, citizen-focused concepts of innovation always compete and chafe with visions championing power distance in democracy—political representation, delegation, mandate, leadership. The chapter underscores that the full matrix of citizen-oriented and representative democracy is needed to understand actually existing varieties and interactions, which can in turn help to advance democratic innovation.
Safe Haven
Authors: Silverman Jon , Sherwood Robert 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This book provides a forensic examination of the police and legal inquiries which took place in the UK into Nazi collaborators after the passage of the controversial War Crimes Act in 1991. It provides revelatory information about some of the suspects from Eastern Europe given refuge in Britain after 1945 and explains, for the first time in print, why there was only one conviction out of hundreds of cases looked at. Disclosures by senior lawyers and police officers in the war crimes units, buttressed by archival documents, including transcripts of interviews with suspects, show that by imposing restrictive criteria about who should be prosecuted, the UK effectively divorced the war crimes process from the Holocaust. Detailed case histories make clear that, as a result, senior figures in locally recruited units which killed thousands in Belarus and Latvia, lived in the UK with impunity for half a century after the war.
Introduction
Authors: Silverman Jon , Sherwood Robert 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The Introduction sets out the stringent criteria applied by the Crown Prosecution Service which restricted potential prosecutions to cases where the suspects were in a position of command and the victims were Jewish civilians—requirements that were not part of the War Crimes Act. It reveals an overwhelming juridical attachment by the UK to courtroom precedent and procedure, thereby divorcing the crimes from the enormity of the Holocaust. It highlights the dissonance between this approach and the burgeoning Holocaust awareness of the mid-to-late 1990s, and relates this caution to the immediate post-war reluctance to continue war crimes trials. It investigates the role of the Soviet Union, through the Extraordinary State Commission, in investigating and detailing the atrocities committed in occupied territory and compiling lists of perpetrators, many of whom fled to the West at the war’s end.
The Soviet Hunt for War Criminals Who Fled to the West
Authors: Silverman Jon , Sherwood Robert 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2 recounts the relentless pursuit of war criminals by the Soviet Union after the Extraordinary State Commission had recorded hundreds of thousands of crimes in the occupied territories and listed the names of those believed to have been responsible. It explores Soviet extradition requests to the UK beginning in 1947 and continuing into the 1980s. Although all were rejected on the grounds that a suspect could not get a fair trial under the Soviet system, this chapter discloses soul-searching in parts of the UK Foreign Office over the realization that the country was harbouring alleged war criminals. The subject of one such failed extradition request—who was subsequently investigated by the War Crimes Unit—was a member of the Caucasian Company. The chapter records the atrocities committed by the Company in Ukraine and Crimea in collaboration with Einsatzgruppe D, and reveals that the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) was involved in bringing this man, Avto Pardzhadnadze, to the UK after the war. The chapter provides details of Belorussian suspects who arrived in the UK after the war and were subsequently investigated but not prosecuted.
The Latvian Death Commando
Authors: Silverman Jon , Sherwood Robert 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Chapter 3 recounts the case history of Harijs Svikeris, a senior officer in a notorious Latvian killing unit called the Arãjs Kommando, which killed thousands of Jews in Latvia, including the Rumbula Forest massacre in Riga. The elimination of Latvian Jewry could not have been accomplished without willing, locally recruited collaborators such as Harijs Svikeris, who was one of three suspects about whom the Hetherington-Chalmers Inquiry said there was a prima facie case to answer. The head of Scotland Yard’s War Crimes Unit thought the evidence was strong enough to take to court but the CPS declined to prosecute because of a lack of eyewitness testimony. This case exemplifies the core problem: that the application of normative juridical rules hamstrung the prosecution of even the most egregious Nazi collaborators. However, it also confirms that, in the absence of much historical documentation, war crimes investigations have played a valuable role in unearthing facts about the Latvian Holocaust and local complicity. The chapter looks more broadly at Latvian collaborators, including the odyssey of Konrad Kalejs, who fled to Australia after the war but also briefly sought sanctuary in the UK in the 1990s.
Introduction
Authors: Hunter Walt 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This introduction begins with a particularly important precursor for the American house poem, the British country-house poem, focusing on its flourishing in Ben Jonson, Aemilia Lanyer, and Andrew Marvell. The country-house poem generated a robust conversation about the nature of poetic genre that took its test cases from the early seventeenth century but offers enduring lessons for the study of modern and contemporary poetry. Building on the contributions made by Barbara Lewalski, Raymond Williams, and others, this chapter ties the renewals of the house poem as a genre to the cycles of historical capitalism. Looking at more recent theorists, the chapter also traces poetic subgenre as a way of encoding assumptions about gender, race, and style. Tying this analysis of genre to recent work in political economy, the emergence of the house poem as a genre appears inseparable from the emergence of the United States as a global economic power.
Unmaking a Home
Authors: Hunter Walt 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that Adrienne Rich’s poetry of the suburban house is particularly invested in the house’s failure. Through an examination of the enclosure of women that features in the ideology of the suburban home, Rich’s poetry splinters the view of the single-family house as the anchor of American democracy. Rich’s house poems offer up exploratory images for a society that cannot decide whether the house is part of political life or a refuge from it. Thinking through the house with language, this chapter also examines the ways language parallels the home in its potential for quiet weaponization. Rich’s house poems explore both the ambivalence of the house as a shelter and an enclosure and the ambivalence of language as a tool and an entrapment for social thought.
The American Poetic Subprime
Authors: Hunter Walt 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Twenty-first century poems by Jericho Brown, Nikki Wallschlaeger, Jennifer S. Cheng, Divya Victor, and Tracy K. Smith craft a politics and poetics of domestic interiors by recentering the house poem around the bodies, affects, and perceptions the genre has traditionally excluded. Attending to the generic contexts for contemporary US poetry clarifies the nature of political speech found in some of its dominant strains, which can depend as much on the arguments the poems conduct with poetic histories as on the rhetorical stances they take in the political present. In tracing the distinction between seventeenth and twenty-first century house poems, this chapter argues that contemporary American house poems are marked by both the exploitation of potential homeowners and by successful attempts to carve out a domestic poetics of ethical care, linguistic hospitality, and phenomenological richness of detail.
