    Hegemony
    Power rarely works by force alone: it also rules by winning hearts and minds. States, classes, and social groups all seek political dominance by exerting political, ideological, or cultural leadership over others. This idea - hegemony - is a subtle, complex one, which is too often applied crudely.In this succinct introduction, political theorist James Martin skilfully examines these nuances and shines a new light on hegemony. He introduces its component ideas and critically surveys the most influential thinking about hegemony, from Gramsci's theory of hegemony as a revolutionary strategy and Marxist theories of the state, politics, and culture to the Post-Marxist project of radical democracy. He then considers the concept's critical role in analysing international politics and global political economy, and evaluates the criticism that hegemony is too state-centric to truly capture the dynamics of contemporary struggles for emancipation.This lucid and accessible guide to hegemony will be essential reading for all students of radical politics and social and political theory.

    Beautiful and Determined: Pre-Raphaelite Sisters: Cv/Visual Arts Research, Book 238 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 19min
    A review of pre-Raphaelite sisters at the National Portrait Gallery London from a visit on 16th October 2019.The exhibition attempts a revaluation of the pre-Raphaelite movement of the mid 19th century, as Dr Marsh indicates it is not about gender competition. Rather, it's about rebalancing the contribution of partners, models, and studio managers. It is also about creative discourse and the other significant roles undertaken by women associated with individual artists. The pre-Raphaelite brotherhood as it became known was welcoming to women and episodes of relationships cut a complex path, influencing and changing the nature and axis of the artworks.Partnerships included Effie and John Millais, Joanna and Henry Wills, Evelyn and William de Morgan, Jane and William Morris, Georgiana and Edward Burne Jones, Fanny Waugh and William Holman Hunt; and several became muses for the artists, exerting a potent and transforming influence: Christina Rosetti, Elizabeth Siddal, briefly married to the poet Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Maria Spartoli and her compatriot Maria Zambaco. The exhibition devotes rooms to about seven women, with works, biographical detail and in places examples of their own artistic production. ungekürzt.

    Hegel's Philosophy of Right , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's Philosophy of Right is widely acknowledged as one of the most important texts in the history of moral and political philosophy. While exerting a profound influence on several major philosophical movements, the groundbreaking 1820 work continues to shape philosophical thought. Hegel's Philosophy of Right presents a collection of new essays by leading international philosophers and Hegel scholars who analyse and explore Hegel's key contributions in the areas of ethics, politics, and law. Contributions address issues that include ethics, the relationship of Hegelian ethics with contemporary debates in value theory, the so-called "empty formalism" objection that Hegel directs at Immanuel Kant's moral philosophy, Hegel's understanding of law, justice, and political issues that shed new light on Hegel's ideas of punishment, ethical life, and family. Scholarly and thought-provoking, Hegel's Philosophy of Right offers important new insights into our understanding of Hegel's seminal Philosophy of Right and the broader world of Hegelian philosophy. Thom Brooks is Reader in Political and Legal Philosophy at Newcastle University. He is editor and founder of the Journal of Moral Philosophy . His books include Hegel's Political Philosophy: A Systematic Reading of the Philosophy of Right (2007). ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Ashby.
