The horsemen in the alleys : the political theology and katechon in Nixon's narratives regarding the War on Drugs, 1968–1974
No full textThe War on Drugs (WoD) is a phenomenon that changed the political environment not only in the United States, but also in global contexts.: a war which was declared against substances and ideas was in many ways a remarkable and unique phenomenon. This study analyses the formative moments of the War during the timeframe of 1968–1974, and the narratives of its instigator, Richard Nixon, the 37th President of the United States.
This study examines the phenomenon of the WoD from the perspective of political theology and the biblical concept of the katechon, applying a Labovian approach to narrative analysis. Katechon has been utilised to frame the WoD as a factor restraining the end of the nation, as Nixon presented the War to be. The focus is put onto three levels of examination: the persons – including persons using and selling illicit substances, the nation and the society of the United States, and drugs as such, as they appear within the narratives of Nixon.
The narratives of Nixon regarding the War from an interesting and relevant phenomenon to the discipline of political theology. Analysis shows, how within the narratives, drugs formed the true enemy comparable to the biblical Antichrist, misdirecting the entire society and the nation of the United States into a state of fallenness, threatening the existence of the entire nation. To combat this, Nixon proposed a katechontic strategy in the form of the WoD, which relied on strategies of rehabilitation, exclusion, and more restrictive legal and punitive frameworks.Huumeidenvastainen sota on ilmiö, joka on muuttanut paitsi Yhdysvaltain, mutta myös globaalia poliittista ympäristö monin tavoin. Sota, joka julistettiin aineita ja ideoita – ei vihollisvaltiota vastaan – oli monella tapaa ennennäkemätön tapaus poliittisessa historiassa ja on myös säilynyt sellaisena, monellakin tavalla. Tässä tutkielmassa keskitytään huumeidenvastaisen sodan formatiivisiin hetkiin ajanjaksolla 1968–1974, sekä huumeidenvastaisen sodan keskeisimpään henkilöön ja hänen narratiiveihinsa, Richard Nixoniin.
Tämä pro gradu -tutkielma tarkastelee huumeidenvastaisen sodan ilmiötä poliittisen teologian metateorian lähtökohdista hyödyntäen raamatullista katechonin käsitettä kehystämään huumeidenvastaisen sodan ilmiökenttää. Tutkielman tarkastelun kohteena ovat Yhdysvaltain 37:nnen presidentin, Richard Nixonin materiaalit, joita jäsennellään ja tarkastellaan Labovilaisen narratiivianalyysin metodologian valossa.
Katechonin käsitteen avulla huumeidenvastainen sota on käsitteellistetty Nixonin narratiiveja mukaillen maailmanloppua ja Yhdysvaltain sivilisaation loppua vastustavaksi tekijäksi, joka muodostuu itsessään useammasta strategiasta ja mekanismista. Tässä tutkielmassa keskitytään tarkastelemaan kolmea eri ilmiö- ja ongelmatasoa jotka muodostivat Nixonin narratiivien keskiön: huumeita käyttäviä ja niitä myyviä henkilöitä, Yhdysvaltain yhteiskuntaa ja kansakuntaa, sekä huumeita sinänsä, kuten ne ilmenevät Nixonin narratiiveissa.
Tutkielman analyysin perusteella voidaan todeta, että Nixonin narratiivit liittyen huumeidenvastaiseen sotaan muodostavat selkeästi poliittisen teologian kannalta kiinnostavan ilmiön. Analyysin perusteella metateoriaan tukeutuen voidaan todeta, että huumausaineet muodostivat Nixonin narratiiveissa Antikristukseen verrattavan toimijan, jonka voimasta Yhdysvaltain kansakunta ja kansalaiset olivat ”langenneet” harhaanjohtavan synnin pauloihin, uhaten koko valtion olemassaoloa. Tätä uhkakuvaa vastaan Nixon julisti huumeidenvastaisen sodan vuonna 1971 – luoden katechonin rehabilitaation, poissulkemisen ja tiukennetun kurin strategioin
The L-p-to-L-q boundedness of commutators with applications to the Jacobian operator
Get PDFSupplying the missing necessary conditions, we complete the characterisation of the L-p -> L-q boundedness of commutators [b, T] of pointwise multiplication and Calderon-Zygmund operators, for arbitrary pairs of 1 q, our results are new even for special classical operators with smooth kernels. As an application, we show that every f is an element of L-p(R-d) can be represented as a convergent series of normalised Jacobians J(u) = det del uof u is an element of (over dot(W))(1,dp)(R-d)(d). This extends, from p = 1 to p > 1, a result of Coifman, Lions, Meyer and Semmes about J:. (over dot(W))(1,d)(R-d)(d) -> H-1(R-d), and supports a conjecture of Iwaniec about the solvability of the equation Ju = f is an element of L-p(R-d). (C) 2021 The Author(s).

[The book written by the finnish philosopher Tuomas Tahko, An introduction to Metametaphysics, recently published by Cambridge University Press as a volume of the series Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy, provides an answer to the question: why to add another "meta" to the word "metaphysics" and talk about a "metametaphysics"? According to the author, the term "metametaphysics" refers to the field of Philosophy which seeks to investigate the very methodology of Metaphysics, as well as its ultimate goal. Therefore, metametaphysics might be defined as the study of the foundations and methodology of Metaphysics. Tuomas Tahko's book is a notable contribution which compiles much of the contemporary debate on the theme.

Katastrofeja kohdanneiden ihmisten esitetty toimijuus ja kokijuus:Tapaustutkimus Turkin ja Syyrian maanjäristystä käsittelevästä uutisoinnista
No full textTeams interrupted: Social work teams as Communities of Practice and Coping during Covid-19
No full textThis chapter considers the functioning of social work teams during the Covid-19 pandemic. Existing research suggests that the team plays an important role in child and family social work. Informal conversations in the office act as a source of knowledge and supportive relationships with colleagues enable social workers to manage the emotional challenges of child welfare. However, during the pandemic mandatory home-working, coupled with increasingly hybrid working practices, presented both challenges and opportunities for social workers’ connection with colleagues. Drawing on research carried out by the authors, this chapter examines the impact of the pandemic on child and family social work teams in England. We introduce two concepts: Wenger’s (1998) Communities of Practice (CoP) and Korczynski’s (2003) Communities of Coping (ComC) as a theoretical framework for conceptualising teams. We consider the legacy of Covid-19 for social work teams, offering recommendations for supporting effective teamwork in the increasingly hybrid, post-pandemic world

No full textTransformative Disruption?:Reflections on Care in Social Work under a COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown
No full textThe chapter focuses on the possibilities for sustaining care in social work with vulnerable families during a pandemic lock down in Denmark, and discusses if disruption of normal practices can be a source for learning and transformation. First, we outline a concept of care and argue that a pandemic lock down can disrupt professional care but may also reveal structural weaknesses and offer paths for critical reflective transformation. Next, we introduce to structural challenges in social work with vulnerable families related to expectations of cost-effectiveness and efficiency and analyse, how social workers experience and reflect on the possibilities for sustaining care during the lock down. The analysis shows that prioritising scarce resources to enable care becomes paramount. While the social workers experience moments of enabling and (re)discovering the “essence of social work” as well as a sense of community with families, they also feel “worn out” and wonder what will be the future possibilities for care. For example, will management acknowledge and prioritize the need for resources and time for care in the aftermath of Covid 19, or will conditions during the lock down become “the new normal”. Based on this, we discuss the possibilities for a transformative disruption focusing on governmental, organisational and professional recognition of the caring purpose of and pre-condition to social work.This chapter focuses on the possibilities for sustaining care in social work with vulnerable families during a pandemic lockdown and discusses if disruption of normal practices can be a source for learning and transformation.
