Book excerpt: Courage is not the absence of fear, but deciding that something is more important than fear. When faced with a dark spell that turns everyone into trees, it can be hard to muster up the courage to find the sorcerer responsible and reverse it. However, a young lady named Alphia was able to do just that. What was it that gave her the courage? In the kingdom of Majesty Peak, King Julius and Queen Agatha rejoiced in the birth of their daughter, Princess Alphia. Jealous of the joyous celebrations from her place of exile, a witch named Cecilia ordered her sorcerer-at-arms to create a spell that would make everyone unhappy for eternity. Realizing the danger that they were in, the King and Queen sent their daughter far away before the spell could take hold. Many years later, when Alphia has grown up into a young lady, the people who raised her decide it's time to tell her the truth about her secret past. Her yearning to be reunited with her parents provides her with the courage and determination she needs to overcome her fear, and confront the sorcerer who has cursed the kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity and Belonging examines the interplay between self and society and in doing so explores the complex nature of 'who we are' and 'how we come to be' as individuals and as members of various social groups. Investigating issues of identity and belonging as they emerge in contemporary social life and under conditions of globalisation, the book focuses on continuity and change in the formation of identities and communities. Through a variety of examples and case studies, the chapters discuss how elements such as ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality intersect and are experienced both locally and transnationally. As a modern guide to some classic themes and key thinkers in the discipline of sociology, this accessible text can be used to introduce core topics of identity, social divisions and globalisation, as well as to investigate in detail more specific themes and issues such as migration, consumption and digital media. It is a useful and comprehensive resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology and related disciplines.

Download or read book The Digital Social written by Alphia Possamai-Inesedy and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edited volume aims to present a critical analysis of the current state of research on religion and belief systems in the realm of the ‘Digital Social’. The rapid expansion and democratization of digital technologies in conjunction with the significant shifts taking place within the practices of religion and belief through digital technology demand a critical examination across the social sciences and humanities. These changes call for an overview of not only our current methodological tool box but also the epistemological and ethical considerations that researchers must contend with. The proposed volume provides a critical framework that recognizes that the social, and therefore the religious, cannot be fully understood without recognizing how the digital world actively constitutes notions such as identity, social networks, embodiment, and social institutions. While some specific methods will be discussed, the volume’s emphasis remains on the critical epistemological and logistical considerations that are needed when undertaking this form of research.
