Here with You
A bachelorette party scavenger hunt. A meet-cute with flowers. A jumbo stuffed llama. A promise of a phone call and Nutella stuffed french toast. What could go wrong? Everything, if you're Emilie Hensley. Pushing aside her hesitations so she can enjoy a weekend of fun with her best friends shouldn't be too difficult. After all, stepping outside her comfort zone to prove to herself she can be spontaneous was her idea. When a simple bridal party scavenger hunt comes down to a tiebreaker challenge, Emilie is shoved into a scenario that will test her newfound boldness. As luck would have it, the challenge involves a complete, albeit handsome, stranger. If it ends in disaster, at least she doesn'...

News and Politics
News and Politics critically examines television news bulletins – still the primary source of information for most people – and asks whether the wider pace and immediacy of 24-hour news culture has influenced their format and style over time. Drawing on the concepts of mediatization and journalistic interventionism, Stephen Cushion empirically traces the shift from edited to live reporting from a cross-national perspective, focussing on the two-way convention in political coverage and the more interpretive approach to journalism it promotes. Challenging prevailing academic wisdom, Cushion argues that the mediatization of news does not necessarily reflect a commercial logic or a lowering ...
Character
Over the last few decades, character-based criticism has been seen as either naive or obsolete. But now questions of character are attracting renewed interest. Making the case for a broad-based revision of our understanding of character, Character rethinks these questions from the ground up. Is it really necessary to remind literary critics that characters are made up of words? Must we forbid identification with characters? Does character-discussion force critics to embrace humanism and outmoded theories of the subject? Across three chapters, leading scholars Amanda Anderson, Rita Felski, and Toril Moi reimagine and renew literary studies by engaging in a conversation about character. Moi re...
What is a Woman?
Is the sex/gender distinction really always fundamental to feminist thought? Arguing for a feminism of freedom inspired by Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex, Toril Moi challenges dominant trends in feminist and cultural theory.
How Media Inform Democracy
In this timely book, leading researchers consider how media inform democracy in six countries – the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Taking as their starting point the idea that citizens need to be briefed adequately with a full and intelligent coverage of public affairs so that they can make responsible, informed choices rather than act out of ignorance and misinformation, contributors use a comparative approach to examine the way in which the shifting media landscape is affecting and informing the democratic process across the globe. In particular, they ask: Can a comparative approach provide us with new answers to the question of how media...
In Search for Love and Freedom
In Search for Love and Freedom shares a story about how one's search determined one's identity development through trivial exploratory experiences and losses. Tori's journey includes going back to the beginning of her memory to retrace her steps to discover how she ended up where she found herself, lost, confused, and at some point angry. Throughout Tori's movement from the space of uncertainty, she traveled with various others and learned that some travelers needed to be left behind.
Political Representation
In an ideal democracy, representatives would entirely reflect citizens’ views, preferences and wishes in their legislative work. However, real-life democracies do not meet this ideal and citizens’ policy preferences and priorities are mirrored only inadequately. This book provides new insights on political representation. It is guided by three questions: what roles should representatives play? Who is actually or should be represented? How are the representatives (or how should they be) connected with the represented? Containing contributions from the perspectives of political theory and philosophy, as well as quantitative empirical studies, the volume demonstrates the need to adapt these established questions to new political realities. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of political representation and parties, political theory, democratic theory, political philosophy and comparative politics.
