Global Free Expression - Governing the Boundaries of Internet Content

Global Free Expression - Governing the Boundaries of Internet Content

Ben Wagner

Springer International Publishing AG
2016
sidottu
This book examines the changes in the governance of human expression as a result of the development of the Internet. It tells the story of the emergence of a global regime that almost completely lacks institutions, and develops a concept of ‘expression governance’ that focusses on the governance practices of key actors in Europe and North America. The book illuminates the increased disciplinary capacity of the Internet infrastructure that has become apparent to the public following Edward Snowden’s leaks in 2013, and provides a theoretical frame within which such changes can be understood. It argues that the Internet has developed a ‘global default’ of permissible speech that exists pervasively across the globe but beyond the control of any one actor. It then demonstrates why the emergence of such a ‘global default’ of speech is crucial to global conflict in the international relations of the Internet. The book concludes with an elaboration of the regulatory practices and theatricalperformances that enable a global regime as well as the three key narratives that are embedded within it.

Wisdom and Greatness in one Place: The Alexandrian Trader Moses ben Judah and his Circle

Wisdom and Greatness in one Place: The Alexandrian Trader Moses ben Judah and his Circle

Dotan Arad; Esther-Miriam Wagner

Open Book Publishers

The manuscript collections of the Bodleian Library contain a corpus of dozens of documents from the archive of Moses ben Judah. A leader of the Jewish community in Alexandria, he was also a prominent businessman and in contact with individuals from Cairo to Sicily. This collection of documents at the Bodleian likely did not emerge from the Cairo Genizah, but from another depository, and appears to have been buried at some point. The documents, which include letters and deeds, shed light on the world of the Jewish elite of a Mediterranean city at the end of the Middle Ages, their communal and business life, connections between Jewish communities, and intellectual trends and tastes among educated Jews. They improve our understanding of the lives of Alexandrian Jews in the late Middle Ages and provide new data about the local leadership and its relations with the Nagidate (the central Jewish leadership) in Cairo, the cantors, the poll tax and its effects, and more. We hear about tensions within this society and the growing presence of European (Italian, Greek, Iberian, and conversos) Jews within the complex social mosaic of Egyptian Jewry in the late Mamluk period. The documents inform us about Alexandria's Jewish community and the commercial networks of the Mediterranean world, in which Jews traded alongside Christians and Muslims. This volume makes an important contribution to the study of Judaeo-Arabic at a watershed moment. Sources from the late Mamluk period show Judaeo-Arabic at a linguistic border between Classical and Late Judaeo-Arabic. The volume will therefore further readers' knowledge of historical linguistics of Arabic in general, and Judaeo-Arabic in particular. The phrase 'Wisdom and Greatness in One Place' in the title of the book is a quotation from the Babylonian Talmud (Giṭṭin 59a), the meaning of which is that it is rare to find combined in one man political leadership and intellectual pre-eminence.

Providing a technical discussion of the application of common methodologies (e.g. cost-benefit analysis and lifecycle assessment), each chapter contains figures, charts and examples from each sector, including the policies that have been put in place to promote and incentivize the adoption of energy efficient technologies.

'Just locate my daughter and report back.' Ben Woolford's brief was pretty simple. Or was it? Former SAS marksman Ben Woolford relishes the simple life of retirement from active duty. He spends his time as a private investigator, tracking down the occasional missing person or collecting the odd bad debt. It is solitary work, but it is easy money, and moreover, he doesn't have anyone trying to kill him. That is until he takes on a small job of locating millionaire Frank DeLuca's twenty-five-year-old daughter, who went missing a week ago from Darwin. It sounds like a simple enough job. Seventy-two hours later, Ben finds himself lying face first in the hot, red desert sand, staking out an abandoned, rusty corrugated-iron fortress in the middle of nowhere. It's meant to be a find and report back. But when the gunfire starts, leaving blood and bodies everywhere, Ben has to fight for his own life. And that's just the beginning.This isn't a job for a PI, but what else is he to do?Notably, this novel has especially been written for people like Gary himself, who love to read, but whose fast and busy lives often result in no time for the pleasure of reading a good book.'Ben is a novel that was written like an Aussie action movie. I wanted it to appeal to that person like I was, that didn't read books. It has multiple plots and action, on every page. It is fiction, of course, but with realistic scenarios. It has guns, cars, motorbikes, major crime, investigations, and a little romance. I really hope you enjoy it.' Gary Baxter.

These collectible children's books have been lovingly restored for their first printing since the Second World War. Following the release of A Story about Ducks and A Railway ABC, V&A Publishing has rediscovered two more touching stories by the inimitable author and artist Jack Townend. Ben tells the story of a lonely steamroller. Ben loves to work hard for Mr Dodie but, at night, when he is all alone, pools of tears collect beneath his boiler. He is lonely and yearns for brothers and sisters. One day Ben looks across a field and sees a puff of white smoke. Overwhelmed with happiness, he hastily rushes to meet steamroller Matilda, and the pair agree to run away together. Delightful lithographs accompany this sweet and endearing love story.
