Locke had a profound influence on the 18th century and beyond. The early reception and interpretation of Locke is illustrated here in original texts, not only important in their own right but providing useful research material for studies on Locke.

Starting a new data governance program? Resetting a program that's stalled? On a tight budget? Apply the "what and how" to deliver data governance. Pragmatic Data Governance is an approach that was able to deliver a functioning program in less than two years. Implement Business-Led Data Governance is the strategy and Synchronize Organizational Opinion Regarding Shared Data Assets is the goal. Six supporting tactical objectives and their activities support the goal and deliver business-led data governance. Pragmatic Data Governance distills on-the-job experience from assignments with banking and government clients over a 14-year period enhanced with books webinars and training modules. Special mention goes to the insights gained from the DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK). A minimalist and hand-made metadata repository called the Data Governance Integrated Business Glossary (DG-IBG) supports the Pragmatic Data Governance approach. A data governance program catalogs and documents an organization's data asset inventory with business and technical metadata such as definitions data quality rules and table and column details. The DG-IBG is modeled using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler and implemented with 60+ tables and 320+ columns in Microsoft SQL Server Express both free downloads from Oracle and Microsoft. By capturing and documenting data issues in the DG-IBG we can support business-side stakeholders in prioritizing and resolving data issues. Reflecting on the data issues gives us insight into data management success factors that may be absent such as formal data quality or master data management programs. This insight supports cost/benefit analysis in business cases for these initiatives.

In 1968, Suzuki Seijun—a low-budget genre filmmaker known for movies including Branded to Kill, Tokyo Drifter, and Youth of the Beast—was unceremoniously fired by Nikkatsu Studios. Soon to be known as the “Suzuki Seijun Incident,” his dismissal became a cause for leftist student protestors and a burgeoning group of cinephiles to rally around. His films rapidly emerged as central to debates over politics and aesthetics in Japanese cinema. William Carroll offers a new account of Suzuki’s career that highlights the intersections of film theory, film production, cinephile culture, and politics in 1960s Japan. Carroll places Suzuki’s work between two factions that claimed him as one of their own after 1968: the New Left and its politicized theoretical practice on one hand, and the apparently apolitical cinephiles and their formalist criticism on the other. He considers how both of these strands of film theory shed light on the distinctive qualities of Suzuki’s films, and he explores how both Suzuki’s works and unheralded Japanese film theorists offer new ways of understanding world cinema. This book presents both a major reinterpretation of Suzuki’s work—which influenced directors such as John Woo, Jim Jarmusch, and Quentin Tarantino—and a new lens on postwar Japanese film culture and industry. Suzuki Seijun and Postwar Japanese Cinema also includes a complete production history of Suzuki’s filmography along with never-before-discussed information about his unfinished film projects.

Remaking Media is a unique and timely reading of the contemporary struggle to democratize communication. With a focus on activism directed towards challenging and changing media content, practices and structures, the book explores the burning question: What is the political significance and potential of democratic media activism in the western world today? Taking an innovative approach, Robert Hackett and William Carroll pay attention to an emerging social movement that appears at the cutting edge of cultural and political contention, and ground their work in three scholarly traditions that provide interpretive resources for the study of democratic media activism: political theories of democracycritical media scholarshipthe sociology of social movements. Remaking Media examines the democratization of the media and the efforts to transform the machinery of representation. Such an examination will prove invaluable not only to media and communication studies students, but also to students of political science.
