Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a moment in our shared national history when the freedom of speech has become a subject of controversy. On the left, college students demand the rescission of invitations to speakers whose ideas they disfavour.1 On the right, President Trump has repeatedly threatened to censor the press for publishing journalism critical of his administration.2 The only thing that seems to unite the left and right in our polarized society appears to be their unanimous disdain for the freedom of speech. This is a dangerous condition for a democratic government, which relies on the free exchange and debate of ideas to function properly. Even worse, many of those who hold strong views on the freedom of speech are alarmingly oblivious to current and historical legal and philosophical doctrines surrounding it, with increasing levels of moral sanctimony correlating positively with constitutional and philosophical illiteracy. The purpose of these remarks is to supply the inquisitive reader with a basic primer on the political philosophy, intellectual history, and present legal status of freedom of speech in the United States; to articulate an argument in support of a robust right to free speech; and to acknowledge and respond to some contemporary objections to unfettered free speech.

Download or read book Toward a Philosophy of Protest written by Clayton Bohnet and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards a Philosophy of Protest: Dissent, State Power, and the Spectacle of Everyday Life is an inquiry into the nature of protest, legislative efforts at its criminalization, and the common good. Using the method of montage, Clayton Bohnet juxtaposes definitions, etymologies, journalism on contemporary events, philosophy, sociology, mainstream and social media content to illuminate rather than obscure the contradictions in our contemporary understanding of dissent and state power. By problematizing the identification of the good of a political community with the good of the economy, Bohnet develops a political ontology of a people who find their values subordinated to a good identified with the smooth flow of traffic, the forecasts of capital, and the predictability of everyday life. A text populated more with questions than authoritative answers, this book asks readers to think through particular impasses involving protest and the possibility of egalitarian, participatory politics, such as the risks taken and courage involved in a society that places the expression of political truths above the collective benefits of the well-tempered economy and the dangers of protesting, of dissent, in an era that refers to protesters as economic terrorists.

Download or read book Total Synthesis of Bioactive Natural Products by Palladium Catalyzed Domino Cyclization of Allenes and Related Compounds written by Shinsuke Inuki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has developed novel methodologies for highly efficient construction of functionalized heterocycles by palladium-catalyzed domino/cascade cyclization of allenes and related compounds containing appropriate nucleophilic group(s). Based on these methodologies, enantioselective total syntheses of bioactive natural products, pachastrissamine (26% overall yield in seven steps), lysergic acid (4.0% overall yield in fifteen steps), lysergol (3.6% overall yield in fifteen steps) and isolysergol (8.2% overall yield in eleven steps) have been achieved. These are more facile synthetic route than those previously reported. These findings would contribute to the development of efficient synthetic methods for biologically active compounds containing a complex structure.

Download or read book Screening the Public Sphere written by Saima Saeed and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, democracy and development have steered the imagination of governments, citizens, intelligentsia and policymakers alike. Democracy without free media is a contradiction, while development without democracy is futile. Highlighting the power and significance of contemporary media, this book deconstructs news and news-making on Indian television. In exploring the concepts of ‘sense-making’ and ‘meaning-generation’, it examines how news and the dissemination of information and opinion influence the public sphere, participatory democracy, citizenship and civil society. Providing an original interpretation of the paradigmatic shifts in news content and newsroom practices, this book focuses on changing ownership patterns, increasing ‘entertainmentalization’ of news and the resultant ‘developmental reportage deficit’. At the same time, it confronts the uneasy and critical consequences of commercialization and rising sensationalism in news media. Finally, it discusses the role of Public Service Broadcasting, journalistic ethics, objectivity, and the politics of language and ideology in the media today, pointing to the need for greater diversity of content on the one hand and an emphasis on public interest in media policy-making, on the other. Drawing upon comprehensive empirical data, the democracy–media–development relationship is demonstrated through critical analyses of the media’s coverage of recent news events. This includes exhaustive content examination of news programmes on all major news channels of India, surveys with media experts and news professionals by way of questionnaires, and interviews with the audience to gauge the impact of media content on their understanding of social, political and economic issues. This volume will be especially useful to those in journalism, media and communication studies, as also to students of political science, sociology and economics.
Download or read book Organic Reactions Volume 100 written by and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 1130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a "who is who" of leading organic chemists, this anniversary volume represent the Organic Reactions editors' choice of the most important, ground-breaking and versatile reactions in current organic synthesis. The 15 reaction types selected for this volume include reactions for carbon-carbon bond formation, cross-coupling reactions, hydro- and halofunctionalizations, among many others. In line with the successful recipe of the series, each chapter is focused on a single reaction, discussing its mechanism and stereochemistry, scope and limitations, applications to synthesis, comparison with other methods, and experimental procedures. Each chapter concludes with a tabular survey of selected key application examples, complete with reported reaction conditions and yields, to serve as a quick reference guide for synthesis planning.
