Abstract

'McCarthy's advocacy and passion for women's rights has spurred a new generation. We wouldn't be where we are without her.' Sydney Morning Herald, 'Who Mattered in 2019' 'A woman of kindness and strength and a feminist who has helped the careers and lives of so many strangers and many dear friends. She is a bright star in the Sydney community. A woman who believes in life-long learning and is not afraid to take risks.' Sydney Community Foundation 'A day hasn't passed this year where I haven't thanked my lucky stars for her wisdom, humour, counsel, support & encouragement. A legend. May we all aspire to live like Wendy McCarthy.' Georgie Dent, Executive Director, The Parenthood Wendy McCarthy has made her mark on this country in many extraordinary ways. For more than 50 years, she has been on the leading edge of feminism and corporate and public life in Australia and her trail-blazing advocacy and leadership have made her a widely respected and revered figure. Wendy is a woman who shaped her times as much as she was shaped by them, and now at 80 years of age, she shares her remarkable life and achievements, and the lessons she learned - and taught us all. From sheltered country schoolgirl to relentless campaigner for abortion and contraception, from passionate teacher to lifelong advocate for education, to smashing that glass ceiling again and again and showing the way to subsequent generations of women, Wendy has championed change across the public, private and community sectors, in education, family planning, human rights, public health, overseas aid and development, conservation, heritage, media and the Arts.

Abstract

"Cultures of Resistance provides new insight on a long-standing question: whether government efforts to repress social movements produce a chilling effect on dissent, or backfire and spur greater mobilization. In recent decades, the U.S. government's repressive capacity has expanded dramatically, as the legal, technological, and bureaucratic tools wielded by agents of the state have become increasingly powerful. Today, more than ever, it is critical to understand how repression impacts the freedom to dissent and collectively express political grievances. Through analysis of activists' rich and often deeply moving experiences of repression and resistance, the book uncovers key group processes that shape how individuals understand, experience, and weigh these risks of participating in collective action. Qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrate that, following experiences of state repression, the achievement or breakdown of these group processes, not the type or severity of repression experienced, best explain why some individuals persist while others disengage. In doing so, the book bridges prevailing theoretical divides in social movement research by illuminating how individual rationality is collectively constructed, mediated, and obscured by protest group culture"--

Abstract

Die Geschichte der VanhaerentsArtCollection begann in den 1970er-Jahren, als der junge Walter Vanhaerents mit Arbeiten von Andy Warhol den Grundstein seiner heute berühmten Sammlung legte. Seither ist viel passiert, doch der Fokus auf neue und provokative Kunst ist stets erhalten geblieben. Ob Bruce Nauman, Yoshitomo Nara, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Katharina Fritsch oder Ugo Rondinone - über die Gattungen und Medien hinweg lässt sich an den Arbeiten der VanhaerentsArtCollection eine Sammeltätigkeit nachverfolgen, die durch ein feines Gespür für die jeweils aktuellen Entwicklungen der Gegenwartskunst und Neuentdeckungen beeindruckt. Die Publikation Looking Ahead feiert das 50-jährige Bestehen dieser einzigartigen Brüsseler Sammlung und gibt einen Überblick über die Ausstellungen der letzten 15 Jahre.

Abstract

"'YOU ARE HEREBY COMMANDED to be and appear before the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives of the United States, or a duly appointed subcommittee thereof, on February 10 (Monday), 1958, at ten o'clock a.m. at City Council Chambers, City Hall, Gary, Indiana, then and there to testify touching matters of inquiry committed to said committee, and not to depart without leave of said committee.' So began a decade of hardship for Ed and Jean Yellin and their three young children as the repressive weight of the U.S. government, caught up in the throes of McCarthyism, crashed down upon their careers, their daily household budget, and their relationships to colleagues, neighbors, and their country. In Contempt is a faithful, factual testament to the enduring quality of patriotic dissent in our evolving democracy--and a loving reconstruction of what it meant to be labeled "unAmerican" for defending the Constitution."
