The media informs, entertains, and connects us. It is woven into the fabric of politics. Its increasing immediacy has become an inescapable feature of almost everybody's life. We are, at the same time, subject to the media and participants in it. The ethical questions it raises have never been more urgent. Trust is in short supply, but we need to share information while dealing with problems like misinformation, disinformation, and echo chambers. And what responsibilities fall on the state, and on other actors such as artists, advertisers, and social media users, as we reckon with endemic problems like racism, sexism, and classism?The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and Media Ethics is an outstanding survey and assessment of this vitally important field. Comprising thirty chapters written by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is divided into five parts: Freedom of Speech, Privacy, and Censorship The News Media Broadening the Scope: Giving Other Aspects of the Media their Due Justice, Power, and Representation Vice and Virtue Online The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy and Media Ethics is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, media and communication studies, politics, and law, as well as practising media professionals and journalists.

This is the tenth volume of Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy. Since its revival in the 1970s, political philosophy has been a vibrant field in philosophy, one that intersects with jurisprudence, normative economics, political theory in political science departments, and just war theory. OSPP aims to publish some of the best contemporary work in political philosophy and these closely related subfields.

Humanity faces an ecological predicament, consisting of a cluster of concurrent, mutually reinforcing crises. They are causally intertwined and resistant to resolution in isolation. In addition to climate disruption, the cluster includes land-system change, loss of biodiversity and biosphere integrity, alteration of biogeochemical cycles, and decreased freshwater availability. Madison Powers argues for a targeted human rights approach to the resolution of our predicament. He assigns priority to a bundle of rights strategically important for counteracting ecologically unsustainable, economically predatory market practices. These practices exhaust natural resources or degrade the environmental conditions essential for a livable planet. Their harmful ecological effects result from or are exacerbated by the structure of the global political economy, especially institutions that influence the acquisition, control, and use of land, energy, and water resources. These institutions shape the economic decisions that have transformed every region of the globe and altered the planetary conditions that support life on Earth. A livable planet thus requires changes in humanity's relation to the rest of nature, which in turn, requires transformation of our economic relationships and the political and economic ideals underpinning them. Specifically, the balance of power between states and markets should be reversed by implementing an enforceable institutional bulwark against market practices that subvert the ecological conditions essential for the secure realization of human rights. These practices enable the powerful to hoard economic opportunities, crowd out sustainable alternatives, extract resources from vulnerable communities, shift environmental and economic burdens, dodge political and market accountability, and hijack public institutions for private purposes.

En la noche del 20 de septiembre de 1984, a menos de un año del retorno de la democracia en la Argentina, la Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas (Conadep) entregó al presidente Alfonsín el informe de su investigación. Su título era'Nunca Más'. En la Plaza de Mayo, setenta mil personas participaban del acto. Este libro reconstruye la historia del emblemático informe y muestra las luchas libradas en torno a la memoria de un pasado conflictivo y las pugnas entre distintos actores por establecer una interpretación. En un relato claro y apasionante, Emilio Crenzel cuenta cómo fue la elaboración del informe, su circulación y sus usos en la esfera pública, y explica por qué la frase'Nunca Más'sintetiza en el presente un sentido sobre este pasado, pero a la vez sobre el futuro. Basándose en entrevistas a los integrantes de la Conadep, dirigentes políticos, miembros de los organismos de derechos humanos e intelectuales, muestra cómo la investigación logró constituir un nuevo conocimiento y una nueva verdad pública sobre las desapariciones y sus responsables. Examina, además, la utilización del texto en el Juicio a las Juntas Militares y en numerosas producciones culturales sobre el tema. A cuarenta años del Nunca Más, cuando vemos crecer las voces que niegan, justifican y/o reivindican la persecución política organizada por la dictadura, esta nueva edición actualizada del libro de Emilio Crenzel se vuelve fundamental para repensar la memoria del pasado reciente, que no es lineal sino materia de disputa y controversia.

This book enhances critical perspectives on human rights through the lens of performance studies and argues that contemporary artistic interventions can contribute to our understanding of human rights as a critical and embodied doing. This study is situated in the contemporary discourse of asylum and political art practices. It argues for the need to reimagine human rights as performative and embodied forms of recognition and practical honouring of our shared vulnerability and co-dependency. It contributes to the debate of theatre and migration, by understanding that contemporary asylum issues are complex and context specific, and that they do not only pertain to the refugee, migrant, asylum seeker or stateless person but also to privileged constituencies, institutional structures, forms of organisation and assembly. The book presents a unique mixed-methods approach that focuses equally on performance analyses and on political philosophy, critical legal studies and art history – and thus speaks to a range of politically interested scholars in all four fields.
