I think young people have a harder time being scared by movies than we did when we were their age," [Mickey McGowan] replies. "So thdy end up getting movies that shock and jar them, gross them out with torture and violence, just to get some kind of reaction." Even with its modern gross-out elements and hyperkinetic editing, McGowan predicts the new film is too old fashioned to affect Hollywood's target audience of young folks. "This is not the kind of movie that sucks the younger generation into the movie theater," he says. "They all want to see Superbad, which I wouldn't mind seeing, actually. Maybe. But they won't be jumping into the theater to see The Invasion, because they've seen this kind of thing on X-Files, they've seen it in so many films, and they've probably never even seen ...
In the U.S. Senate, only one-third of the members stand for election every two years; the rest carry over from one congressional term to the next. In this regard the Senate differs from the House of Representatives, where all members stand for election every two-year cycle. That much is familiar, but what legal consequences flow from this structural difference? According to some legislators, courts, and commentators, this difference is very important in that it makes the Senate, but not the House, a “continuing body.” The continuing-body idea is invoked to defend highly controversial aspects of Senate practice. By far the most familiar context in which the idea arises—and the one with the most potential for generating serious conflict—is the debate over the legal...
What is primitive is not consciousness as a kind of "zero point of Being," a perspective without spatiality or temporality, to which objects, shorn of their native facticity, are referred and from which they receive their significations.7 The discourse of the cogito is swept away in a rehabilitation of the perceived, sensible world.8 No longer is reflection lodged in an account of living being on one side of which is the constitutive activity of subjectivity, and on the other is the material thing in all its mute obduracy. There is a natural symbolism of the body, grounded in the way the body functions as an organ of sensible communication, eliciting from things a perceptual response to be heard in turn by the senses as the institution of Nature in us.69 It is this primal attachment to...

The present study examined the role of competitiveness and depression in the development of body image dissatisfaction. College student women were presented with the image of a thin, attractive model. After comparing their own body shape to the woman in the picture, participants expressed significantly higher negative feelings about their own body image than the control group. The results of this study indicate that competitiveness and depression are important contributing factors to the development of body image and shape dissatisfaction.
Phyllis Bennis, director of the New Internationalism Project at the Washington-based Institute for Policy Studies told IPS the U.S. vote - and its obvious pressure on governments dependent on U.S. political, financial or military support - "indicates just how out of step the administration of President Barack Obama is on this issue. There is a clear double-standard, once again, in the U.S. position between Ambassador Susan Rice's recognition of the primacy of accountability for war crimes in the case of Darfur and Sudan, regardless of any potential impact on future peace talks, while rejecting accountability in the case of Israeli actions in Gaza," she said. "If Washington remains unwilling to hold Israel accountable for its violations, the potential for a new U.S. position in the wor...
Psychological and health science research has identified a disparate experience of body image dissatisfaction among gay men (particularly in relation to heterosexual men), and have theorised that this reflects an emphasis placed on physical appearance in gay male settings. However, these studies largely fail to reflect upon the centrality of the body in securing a visible gay identity, or upon discourses of the nature, appearance and expression of gay identity in a historical and social context. Similarly, sociologically informed work has tended to emphasise gay men's paradoxical relationship-dependant upon and desirous of-heterosexual masculinity as the foundation for this emphasis. Drawing on a concept of "reflective embodiment," interviews with four gay men are conducted to demonstra...
