Boycott in America
Boycott in America: How Imagination and Ideology Shape the Legal Mind | Gary Minda
2 posts | 1 to read
Gary Minda's critical study of boycotts in American law and culture focuses on how the word boycott has developed as a metaphoric, rather than as a rational or logical, form of reasoning. Minda first discusses the history, interpretation, and understanding of boycotts. He then turns to the role of metaphor in the interpretation of boycotts and of boycott law. Drawing on cognitive psychology and linguistic theory, Minda argues that the metaphors judges choose in describing boycotts determine how they view boycotts. One of Minda's major contributions is to show how cognitive theory and the analysis of conceptual metaphors can help to explain the development of the law of boycott. Equally important, Minda provides a unique history of the boycotts in three separate legal fields: labor, antitrust, and constitutional law.

There‘s no new #longtimefed post today. Just a reminder about the Amazon boycott. I understand there‘s also a Target “fast” during Lent.

Meanwhile, if you haven‘t yet encountered the Hostile Government Takeover song, enjoy!

Not book related but I've just heard about this new app via social media (fb or Twitter, can't remember which...) which lists businesses connected to our glorious leader. I know that many of you are activists and this app is intended to hit him in the wallet. It also highlights the people who have helped him financially through their businesses. The only flaw I would say is that there aren't any sources listed.

MrsMalaprop Thanks for the tip. Just found the app, Boycott Trump 👍. 8y
BookishFeminist This app has been helping inform me for months- they do a great job staying on track. 8y

Foxyfictionista @BookishFeminist I didn't realise that is been out that long. Good to know it's worthwhile. 8y
Floresj I love Litsy!!!! Thank you! It's a sad world when the national parks are the government agencies that actually stand up to him. Other than teaching my students tolerance and accurate science, I was looking for another way to contribute to the resistance 😊! 8y
Foxyfictionista @Floresj I know, right! Who knew that park rangers had such moxy? I think that the scientists are standing up too with their rogue twitter accounts and I've also read that some of them are going into politics. Teachers who are teaching actual facts are heroes too. Well done, you! 8y
kspenmoll There is a march led by scientists planned for April- https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/science/blog/2017/jan/27/scient... 8y
Foxyfictionista @kspenmoll Yes, I read about that. It seems like so many different groups need to march these days. It's going to be a long four years. Thank you for sharing the link! 8y
kspenmoll Thx! Found app on FB & Twitter👏😃 8y
