Free Download Visual Methods for Sensitive Images: Ethics and Reflexivity in Criminology On/Offline
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031753712 | 417 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 22 MB
This edited book provides a toolbox for researchers and students working with sensitive images in criminological research on and offline. Across three sections on collecting, analysing and mediating sensitive visual data, the chapters cover a wide array of current examples and discussions of visual methods and ethics in contemporary, digital-life criminology. It reflects the experiences of influential and innovative scholars engaging in empirical analysis of images across various subfields within criminology, including with images that deal with crime, social problems and stigma. They emphasize the opportunity for gaining knowledge through visual analysis and include methodological discussions of how to approach such sensitive data material. Some chapters address visuals as data in mediated realities and the related methodological concerns. The book also contributes to discussing the various ethical sides to researching crime-related sensitive images, such as anonymity, consent, and access, but also relates to researcher reflexivity and protecting researchers’ well-being.

Free Download Arthur H Miller, Bruce E Gronbeck, "Presidential Campaigns And American Self Images"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0813318858 | EPUB | pages: 306 | 0.9 mb
This volume explores a central political paradox: why American scholars, journalists, and citizens periodically question the viability of their presidential electoral system and yet believe that presidential elections are our best hope for a better tomorrow. The book argues that the key to understanding this paradox lies in the concept of "self image," exploring relationships between campaign activities and political culture. After presenting an introduction to the history of presidential campaigning and a theory of political image, the book arranges chapters in three parts: images centered on candidates, mass media, and the public. A final chapter assesses explanations of the contrasts between the 1988 and 1992 elections and suggests tomorrow’s research agenda. Students and teachers alike will find this book ideal for college courses in campaigns and elections, political behavior, and a variety of specialty courses.

Free Download Barbara Bower, "Equestrian Photography: Creating Beautiful Images of Horses and Their Humans"
English | 2017 | pages: 128 | ISBN: 1682032205 | EPUB | 181,1 mb
In this book, Barbara Bower (Lorain, OH) teaches beginning and professional photographers how to embrace the art and technique of horse photography. Readers will learn how to prepare a horse and their owner for a portrait session and will also discover how to analyze the portrait location-whether it’s a barn, field, or show grounds-to determine the most effective subject placement. When working on location, and particularly outdoors, lighting can be a challenge. Bower provides tips for finding and capturing exquisite light-or modifying existing light for better results-to bring out the beauty and detail in the horse’s every feature. She also teaches readers how to interact with horses safely and effectively and to use prompts that win their attention and evoke beautiful physical expression.

Free Download Eszter Salgó, "Images from Paradise: The Visual Communication of the European Union’s Federalist Utopia"
English | ISBN: 1785336185 | 2017 | 248 pages | PDF | 885 KB
Drawing upon the disciplines of politics, anthropology, psychoanalysis, aesthetics and cinema studies, Salgó presents a new way of looking at the "art of European unification." The official visual narratives of the European Union constitute the main object of inquiry – the iconography of the new series of euro banknotes and the videos through which the supranational elite seek to generate "collective effervescence," allow for a European carnival to take place, and prompt citizens to pledge allegiance to the sacred dogma of the "ever closer union," thereby strengthening the mythical sources of the organization’s legitimacy. The author seeks to illustrate how and why the federalist utopia turned into a political soteriology after the outbreak of the 2008 crisis.

Free Download Paradox Lost: Images of the Quantum By Philip R. Wallace (auth.)
1996 | 166 Pages | ISBN: 1461284686 | PDF | 10 MB
"Medical scientists use the word `iatrogenic’ to refer to disabilities that are the consequence of medical treatment. We believe that some such word might be coined to refer to philosophical difficulties for which philosophers themselves are responsible" Sir Peter Medawar Arguing that quantum theory as it stands is perhaps the most comprehensive, well-verified, and successful theory in the history of science, the author clears away the impression that it is an incomplete, philosophically flawed, and self-contradictory theory. In simple terms accessible to anyone with a little prior knowledge of science, Wallace examines the numerous "paradoxes" and "difficulties" claimed for quantum mechanics, and shows that they are due to excesses of interpretation that have been imposed on the theory.
