These documents provide important insights into the structural conditions and ideological factors that have contributed to increases in the frequency and lethality of mass public shootings in the U.S. since the mid-2000s. Unlike studies that focus on gun laws and/or the mental health or personality traits of mass shooters, we emphasize the connection between mass public shootings in the U.S. and the prevailing neoliberal ideology that has, particularly in recent decades, shaped not only material conditions but value systems, social relations, and conceptions of the self in accordance to the logic of the market. We suggest the increasing digitization of social life under neoliberalism has led to a form of hyper-neoliberalism that amplifies conditions such as social isolation, low self-esteem, and egoistical forms of agency, all of which discourage empathy, erode social bonds, and foster a fertile environment for various forms of social degradation and violence. Under these conditions, mass public shootings can be regarded as an attempt to seek respect or recognition—what classical Greeks described as thymos—among individuals, particularly men, who feel alienated and irrelevant.

The Systems Solution is his solution for the way criminal justice policy is currently handled. Mears is an influential criminologist who is also the Mark C. Stafford Professor of Criminology at the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Mears, n.d.). Along with Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, he is the author of Fundamentals of Criminological and Criminal Justice Inquiry, Prisoner Reentry in the Era of Mass Incarceration, and American Criminal Justice Policy (Mears, n.d.). He is well-versed in his field of criminal justice, research, and policy; his research has also been featured in multiple journals and media outlets (Mears, n.d.). In Out-of-Control Criminal Justice, Mears discusses every aspect concerning his Systems Solution- what a system is as a whole, the innerworkings of a system, how the Systems Solution can be used in other fields besides criminal justice, the emphasis on research, the multi-stakeholder policy process, the benefits of a Systems Solution, and many other pieces needed for a Systems Improvement Solution.","PeriodicalId":42347,"journal":{"name":"Theory in Action","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42845079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, using a place-based and experiential form of pedagogy can be useful in explaining three particular concepts within the discipline: prefigurative politics, direct action, and self-management. First, I outline this approach as developed in my travel course to Spain, “Global Political Economy and Sustainability.” I begin with a brief explanation of this method and some relevant literature in sociology. Next, I identify those three concepts within the sociological study of social movements and political sociology that this type of pedagogy can help students see clearly and understand. Finally, I add some concluding remarks, self-criticism, and suggest some further research to investigate learning outcomes.

Distant Theory in Comparative Literary Studies 比较文学研究中的距离理论

{"title":"Distant Theory in Comparative Literary Studies","authors":"Corin Braga","doi":"10.3798/tia.1937-0237.2210","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3798/tia.1937-0237.2210","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper I want to propose a hermeneutical approach that I call “distant theory”. I start from the premise that mythology, literature and art, especially antique, medieval and early modern, in order to be fully comprehended need a reconstruction of the respective visions of the world and of human nature in which they were created and read by their public. This is also true for modern and contemporary works, but while pre-modern metaphysical and anthropological systems have been acculturated and are no longer in use, current systems, belonging to the scientific “vulgate” of our days, are spontaneously endorsed and accepted by literary and art critics as valid and true. I call this unquestionable use by commentators of cosmological and psychological theories “close theory”. In contrast, in order to avoid anachronistic mismatching of works belonging to a certain historical cultural paradigm with methods deriving from other paradigms, I propose an approach in which all ontological and psychological systems, be they antique or present, should be considered mere intellectual artefacts, “master narratives”, dependent on their respective epochs. This relativistic attitude would allow a “distant approach” especially to nowadays theories, freeing the literary and art analysts of the task of having to certify themselves theories that belong to other domains.","PeriodicalId":42347,"journal":{"name":"Theory in Action","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43492322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
