Right-Wing Alternative Media

Right-Wing Alternative Media

This book offers a fresh perspective on central questions related to right-wing alternative media: Can right-wing media be alternative? Why do they exist? Are they a threat to the existing order and what have the reactions been from mainstream politicians and media actors?The rise and success of right-wing populism in the political life of many western countries along with several new and apparently successful alternative media operations on the right has caused surprise and confusion among researchers and debaters. How should this challenge to mainstream politics and media be understood? Journalistic political and academic discourse has struggled to explain these tendencies and tend to focus on sensational and extreme examples with little attention directed towards other aspects. This book critically discusses existing theoretical frameworks related to alternative media in general analysing a wide scope of cases to illustrate the diversity of voices in alternative media on the right and highlighting the importance of intellectual coolness and common sense in discussions about this important but ideologically and politically charged area. An important addition to the current discourse of contemporary media Right-Wing Alternative Media is ideal for researchers students and anyone interested in politics and public discourse.

Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

This book explores an important issue within the free will debate: the relation between free will and moral responsibility. In his seminal article 'Alternate Possibilities and Moral Responsibility' Harry Frankfurt launched a vigorous attack on the standard conception of that relation questioning the claim that a person is morally responsible for what she has done only if she could have done otherwise. Since then Frankfurt's thesis has been at the center of philosophical discussions on free will and moral responsibility. Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities edited by David Widerker and Michael McKenna draws together the most recent work on Frankfurt's thesis by leading theorists in the area of free will and responsibility. As the majority of the essays appear here for the first time Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities offers the newest developments in this important debate. | Moral Responsibility and Alternative Possibilities Essays on the Importance of Alternative Possibilities

Alternative Educational Programmes Schools and Social Justice

Alternative Educational Programmes Schools and Social Justice

Alternative education caters and cares for students whose regular schools have failed and excluded them. Fifty years of international research reports that alternative settings are characterised by close and powerful staff–student relationships a curriculum which is relevant engaging and meaningful and the strong sense of agency afforded young people by the opportunity to make decisions. Together these three practices produce increased life chances for alternative education participants. However despite these apparent successes alternative education seems to have had little impact on mainstream schools. This collection of papers addresses the important question – what might regular schools and teachers learn about socially just pedagogies from alternative education practices? In providing answers to this question authors interrogate the taken-for-granted wisdom about alternative education while also taking account of ongoing policy shifts differing locations and populations and persistent and intersecting patterns of raced classed and gendered inequalities. They draw on a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to interrogate the ways in which alternative schools and alternative education both challenge and legitimate the kinds of schooling most of us expect for our own and other people's children. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Critical Studies in Education. | Alternative Educational Programmes Schools and Social Justice
