Tolerating State Violence

Tolerating State Violence

Elizabeth Stanley

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
nidottu
Why do we tolerate state violence, despite it being disagreeable, painful and often harmful for our societies? Drawing on three liberal democratic countries – Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom – this book exposes how states perpetuate tolerance for their violence through representations, the management of experiences and testimonies, bureaucratic and technological architectures, and ritualistic reforms.Using contemporary case examples - including in relation to borders, welfare, surveillance, incarceration, slavery and climate crimes - the book provides an analysis of how state institutions organize and facilitate politics, laws, bureaucracies, economies, technologies and social experiences such that violence is normalized. It spells out how state harms can be known and made tolerable, with the resulting pain and trauma becoming part of everyday governance, social relations, institutional policies and personal experiences.In exploring the many state structures, strategies and techniques that facilitate and sustain violence, this book also maps out what we must challenge, and where our resistance efforts and demands for transformation must be directed. In short, the book questions: how do state institutions create the conditions for the tolerance of state violence and harms? And, from this knowledge, how might we make the violence and harms intolerable?Tolerating State Violence is indispensable reading for students and scholars of criminology and criminal justice, sociology, and political science. The book will also appeal to policymakers, legal professionals, and social justice advocates concerned with institutional reform and addressing systemic violence.

Milton, Toleration, and Nationhood

Milton, Toleration, and Nationhood

Elizabeth Sauer

Cambridge University Press
2013
sidottu
John Milton lived at a time when English nationalism became entangled with principles and policies of cultural, religious, and ethnic tolerance. Combining political theory with close readings of key texts, this study examines how Milton's polemical and imaginative literature intersects with representations of English Protestant nationhood. Through detailed case studies of Milton's works, Elizabeth Sauer charts the fluctuating narrative of Milton's literary engagements in relation to social, political, and philosophical themes such as ecclesiology, exclusionism, Irish alterity, natural law, disestablishment, geography, and intermarriage. In so doing, Sauer shows the extent to which nationhood and toleration can be subjected to literary and historicist inquiry. Her study makes a salient contribution to Milton studies and to scholarship on early modern literature and the development of the early nation-state.

Dear Elizabeth: A father's letter to his daughter about men, women, marriage and creating love for a lifetime.

Norman A. MacLean

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

"Dear Elizabeth" began as a letter to my teenage daughter, to help her define and pursue love, happiness, and marriage not as our culture does, but as God's Word, the Bible, instructs us to. From my perspective as a man, husband and father, I wanted to help her understand how her husband's needs, thinking and way of expressing and receiving love may be different from her own. With wisdom gained through personal experience, marriage experts, authors and "regular" couples, I wanted to provide her with principles and insights to overcome common marital challenges. Specific issues addressed cover: what to do when the "in-love" feelings subside, happiness and marital expectations, how do you say "I love you", questions to ask before marriage, God's design and purposes for marriage.

Dear Elizabeth: A Play in Letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and Back Again: A Play in Letters from Elizabeth Bishop to Robert Lowell and

Sarah Ruhl

Farrar, Straus and Giroux
2014
nidottu
From playwright Sarah Ruhl, Dear Elizabeth is a moving, innovative play based on one of the greatest correspondences in literary history--the letters of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop. From 1947 to 1977, Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop exchanged more than four hundred letters. Describing the writing of their poems, their travel and daily illnesses, the pyrotechnics of their romantic relationships, and the profound affection they had for each other, these missives are the most intimate record available of both poets and one of the greatest correspondences in American literature. The playwright Sarah Ruhl fell in love with these letters and set herself an unusual challenge: to turn this thirty-year exchange into a stage play, and to bring to life the friendship of two writers who were rarely even in the same country. As innovative as it is moving, Dear Elizabeth gives voice to a conversation that lived mostly in writing, illuminating some of the finest poems of the twentieth century and the minds that produced them.
