Technological Trauma and Personalized Politics available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This thesis focuses on the political behaviors and attitudes of the Millennial generation (those born between 1981 and 1991 in the United States) , and discusses not only its specific civic characteristics, but what this new generation shows us about the formation of generational consciousness and the future of politics. Since cohort generations are examined based on an understanding that individuals occupying different life stages will be impacted differently by major historical events in ways that will persist throughout their lives, many prominent generational theorists have thought collective memory and cultural trauma useful lenses through which to explore the problem of generations. A theoretical framework which emphasizes the importance of these historical events in shaping the consciousness of a generation helps scholars to determine where one generation ends and another begins, thereby making the specific nature and impact of these events of great interest. For the Millennial generation, however, not only have the transmission and, therefore, the perception of these major historical events shifted with the introduction of social media, but the sudden rise and very ubiquity of these communications technologies serves for this generation as the functional equivalent of a traditional traumatic event, shaping the way Millennials perceive the world, participate in political life and the manner in which their generational consciousness is formed. I employ primary and secondary research and public opinion survey data to study the extent to which the Millennials' generational experience can be considered politically distinctive. I analyze qualitative data from ID interviews with 20 Millennials to explore trends in personal politics, social media use and generational experience to supplement the nationally representative quantitative data. Particular emphasis is devoted to social media's impact on the formation of generational consciousness and acceleration of personal politics. In sum, I argue that social media contributes to a rethinking of 1) our conception of traditional trauma and collective memory as the basis of the formation of generations and 2) the effect on traditional politics of the development and acceleration of the personalized politics to which new technologies have given rise among Millennials -- a generation with conscious experience of the world before and after the sea change wrought by these technological and social phenomena.

Download and read online ebook The Politics of Trauma write by Staci K. Haines. This book was released on 2019-11-19. The Politics of Trauma available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. An essential tool for healers, therapists, activists, and trauma survivors who are interested in a justice-centered approach to somatic transformation The Politics of Trauma offers somatics with a social analysis. This book is for therapists and social activists who understand that trauma healing is not just for individuals—and that social change is not just for movement builders. Just as health practitioners need to consider the societal factors underlying trauma, so too must activists understand the physical and mental impacts of trauma on their own lives and the lives of the communities with whom they organize. Trauma healing and social change are, at their best, interdependent. Somatics has proven to be particularly effective in addressing trauma, but in practice it typically focuses solely on the individual, failing to integrate the social conditions that create trauma in the first place. Staci K. Haines, somatic innovator and cofounder of generative somatics, invites readers to look beyond individual experiences of body and mind to examine the social, political, and economic roots of trauma—including racism, environmental degradation, sexism, and poverty. Haines helps readers identify, understand, and address these sources of trauma to help us bridge individual healing with social transformation.

What does democracy expect of its citizens, and how do the citizenry match these expectations? This Oxford Handbook examines the role of the citizen in contemporary politics, based on essays from the world's leading scholars of political behavior research. The recent expansion of democracy has both given new rights and created new responsibilities for the citizenry. These political changes are paralleled by tremendous advances in our empirical knowledge of citizens and their behaviors through the institutionalization of systematic, comparative study of contemporary publics--ranging from the advanced industrial democracies to the emerging democracies of Central and Eastern Europe, to new survey research on the developing world. These essays describe how citizens think about politics, how their values shape their behavior, the patterns of participation, the sources of vote choice, and how public opinion impacts on governing and public policy. This is the most comprehensive review of the cross-national literature of citizen behavior and the relationship between citizens and their governments. It will become the first point of reference for scholars and students interested in these key issues.
