When the topic is broached it is usually in support of what might be called a ‘hero orthodoxy’: One or other individual is identified as the hero of a specific achievement.

The literature argues that media depictions of criminal justice present messages that conform to and promote the dominant ideology about the crime problem and how to solve it. Research has focused on television news and adult programs, but little research has examined messages about justice present in children’s shows. To fill this gap, an ethnographic content analysis of children’s cartoons wa...

It is shown that the quantization of a superparticle propagating in an N = 1, D = 4 superspace extended with tensorial coordinates results in an infinite tower of massless spin states satisfying the Vasiliev unfolded equations for higher spin fields in flat and AdS4 N = 1 superspace. The tensorial extension of the AdS4 superspace is proved to be a supergroup manifold OSp (1|4). The model is man...
