Description: Policing and the Poetics of Everyday Life, Hardcover by Wender, Jonathan M., ISBN 025203371X, ISBN-13 9780252033711, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Wender, a former police sergeant who teaches sociology at the U. of Washington, takes a philosophical look at the interactions between police officers and citizens and how they are representative of human existence and the ongoing creation of meaning. He describes situations he encountered in his police work--domestic violence, contact with juveniles, drug-related situations, mental and emotional crisis, and death--drawing parallels to examples such as paintings, novels, poetry, drama, and short stories. He draws from Martin Heidegger's Zollikon Seminars, held in Switzerland in the 1960s, in which the philosopher asked psychologists and psychiatrists to think about the ontology of their work, hoping to engage practitioners and social scientists in an examination of policing.
