Editorial Review Product Description Janus argues that to prevent sexual violence, policymakers must address the deep-seated societal problems that allow it to flourish. In addition to criminal sanctions, he endorses the specific efforts of some advocates, organizations, and social scientists to stop sexual violence by, for example, taking steps to change the attitudes and behaviors of school-age children and adolescents, improving public education, and promoting community treatment and supervision of previous offenders. Janus also warns that the principles underlying the predator laws may be the early harbingers of a "preventive state" in which the government casts wide nets of surveillance and intervenes to curtail liberty before crimes of any type occur. More than a critique of the status quo, this book discusses serious alternatives and how best to overcome the political obstacles to achieving rational policy. Customer Reviews (4)

Definitley biased, but makes great points...
Important Topic;Impressive Effort Alterman's relative objectivity is crucial because his topic is so important: public opinion in the United States is often shaped by clever phrases, memorable sound bites, and comfortable beliefs spouted into popular culture via broadcast or written media.Alterman's contention is that conventional beliefs are molded and common sense is formed in large measure through the influence of observers who are more famous than informed. Pundits rule America, the author argues, by constructing and maintaining "informed opinion" that marginalizes alternative perspectives left and right.Commentators narrow the possibilities and discount the imponderables, thereby deepening troughs in the stream where the opinion-shapers feel most comfortable.If these spinmeisters succeed in moving this or that trough closer to the opinions fashionable in their own circles, so much the better.Their most important goal, however, is to preserve, protect, and defend the mass-mediated mainstream in which they are reckoned to be authoritative. This "dredging" narrows the diversity of acceptable facts, beliefs, perspectives, and insights that will be carried in mass media.As a consequence, novel critiques, original thinking, and perceptive syntheses usually cannot penetrate sequences of fabricated, exaggerated threats and reassurances that characterize everyday debates on television, the Internet, or radio and in newspapers and periodicals.This conventional wisdom tended by the pundits not only amplifyies the problem that so many ordinary Americans know little about politics, government, their own country, and the world but also exacerbates the difficulty that so many people who trouble themselves to follow the news know so much that is not true. Alterman deftly describes and documents how pundits set themselves up as experts by making themselves well known for being well known (to steal Daniel Boorstin's phrase).Many of them know a little about a little.Through marketing and self-promotion, they pose as knowing much about nearly everything.The reader is first amused and then amazed at how little it takes for this columnist or that essayist to become a frequent guest on chatfests.The more that the pundit pretends to know without actually risking his or her "authority" (often pundits have no "authority" in any subject to begin with; they have merely recognition or notoriety) and the more memorable their snappy patter, the more invitations that television is likely to extend.If you have wondered how Alec Baldwin or Martin Sheen or Ann Coulter or Peggy Noonan came to populate cable "news" shows, this book will suggest some plausible hypothesies. When Alterman documents how succinct phrases and other arts of punditry actually clash with genuine knowledge and merited authority, the reader begins to appreciate how the sound and fury of these media creations have diminished politics and impoverished discourse. P.S.Does anyone else suspect that the customer review from "A reader from Alexandria, VA USA" was crafted by some lefty to imply that one who disliked Alterman's book due to Alterman's writing would himself or herself write so poorly?
Those who can't handle this probably need to read "Slander" Alterman just calls for less BS, ala Coulter and Drugboy Rush, and more honest "where are our similarities?" discourse.Of course the overly moralistic Right takes offense at being called on the carpet for their lack of adult ideas, but hey, the truth hurts. When our leaders can begin to think outside the box for solutions (considering all the "conservative" ideas have gotten us to where we are today) about what ails our world, then we might find some solutions.Getting "tough" on things has not worked on drugs, poverty or crime.Why anyone thinks it would work on terrorism just shows the neanderthal thinking that comes into play when people have been convinced, ala Bush et al, to be afraid of one another. Until there is a change in leadership in America, we will be doomed to continue to commit the same mistakes over and over and over again.Cold war "warriors" (people who got wealthy off of the defense contracts paid by you and I) can think of no better solution than to "go to war" for everything from "defense" to economic stimulation.When in fact developing alternative fuels (a "liberal" idea) would make us more indepedent of the fuel in the Middle East, would dry up the money there and would dry up the funds being filtered to Al Quida from such areas.As long as we feed the monster of the Middle East, we had better be prepared for it to continue to bite the hand that feeds it.But that is just so much "liberal" thinking....an so out of the box! Alterman nails the Right for being Wrong, on so many levels - which is something they can not stand.Just look at the arrogance of Cheney, Rumsfeld and the like who, due to their old white man/priveleged status think that everyone should believe them, no questions asked.They ARE life long politicians aren't they?Or are only life long democrats/liberals the ones who lie?To take the word of ANY life long politician is to naively follow at one's peril.
Infuriate conservatives -- show 'em this book! For instance -- George Will fans:Did you know that your hero, who tsk-tsked at Bill Clinton over his affairs, left his first wife for Marxist author Alec Cockburn's girlfriend?(And that he also left behind a child with Down's Syndrome for his wife to care for by herself?)Kinda at odds with his super-moralist image, eh?(By the way, he soon left Alec's old GF for another woman, whom he married in the early 1990s.) Must reading for those keeping tabs on the immoral people who run our country.
Typical rantings and ravings from Eric Alterman Eric Alterman said in "What liberal media" that the only liberal media source in America is the leftist anti-american "The Nation". This book reads on the lines of sour grapes.Eric is saying that since nobody in politics is liberal enough for his leftist viewpoints, they are all weak players in politics. Eric needs to realize that he and the leftist liberal fringe that believes in his viewpoints, are way to the left of all americans including Hillary and Bill Clinton. His writings seem to be expressing frustration that America won't follow his leftist agenda. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Among the works Jager discusses are texts by Ambrose, Augustine, the early Christian poet Avitus, and scholastic authors; Old English biblical epics; Middle English spiritual writings; French courtesy books; and the poetry of Dante and Chaucer. Examples from the visual arts are included as well. Jager links medieval interpretations of the Fall to underlying cultural anxieties about the ambiguity of the sign, the instability of oral tradition, the pleasure of the text, and the many rhetorical guises of the tempter’s voice. He also assesses the modern and postmodern legacy of the Fall, showing how this myth continues to embody central ideas concerning language. The Tempter’s Voice will be essential reading for scholars and students in such fields as medieval studies, literary theory, gender theory, comparative literature, cultural history, and the history of religion. |
