Melodrama manipulates us to feel deeply about the structures that ground our experience of the world: our bodies, the family, the home, and the nation. For this reason, melodrama is a narrative and ae
Race is all around us, as one of the main structures of capitalist society. Yet, how we talk about it and even how we think about it is tightly policed. Everything about race is artificially distorted
The most recognizable and researched impact of Europeanization is upon government structures, processes, and policies. However, the study of the effects of Europeanization on domestic interest groups
For building sustainable peace and security, the time is always now. Violence in our world extends beyond armed conflicts: it exists in our social and economic structures, not to mention in our destru
Human diversity, with its myriad of different conditions involving biology, psychology, and social structures, remains one of the biggest challenges — and opportunities — facing the species. With many
Size is a primary feature of living things. From egg to adult, the various organs, tissues, cells, and subcellular structures that make up an organism grow to appropriate sizes so that they effectivel
Demoscopy is a non-invasive skin imaging technique that uses optical magnification and either liquid immersion or cross- polarized lighting that makes subsurface structures more easily visible when co
In this book the new topic of lineability and spaceability is explored following closely the generalized trend in mathematics to search for large algebraic structures composed of mathematical objects
