Open Compositionality - Eduardo Garcia Ramirez - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Open Compositionality - Eduardo Garcia Ramirez - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Open Compositionality: Towards a New Methodology of Language argues that natural languages, like English and Spanish, are not only systems of representation useful for communication but also, and most importantly, highly interactive cognitive capacities allowing humans to engage in complex forms of cognition. This view goes against the orthodoxy in philosophy of language, which considers natural languages to be specialized systems consisting of only linguistic elements and functioning in a closed compositional manner, allowing for a fully formal, algebraic descriptions. Eduardo García Ramírez rejects the longstanding principle of compositionality, according to which the meaning of any complex expression is fully determined by its parts and the way they are combined, and substitutes it with an alternative, open and interactive one. This novel view of the nature of language better accounts for the empirical evidence. García Ramírez develops an account of open compositionality, accompanied by the cognition first methodology, in which natural languages are conceived as supermodular cognitive capacities that allow for interaction among multiple distinct areas of human cognition. The explanatory success of this novel proposal and its accompanying methodology are tested by the author’s account of three enduring philosophical problems: substitution failure, empty names, and the nature of moral discourse.

Prying Open Fortress Europe - Alexander Caviedes - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Prying Open Fortress Europe - Alexander Caviedes - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Prying Open Fortress: The Turn to Sectoral Labor Migration is unique in the field of migration studies since it traces the microeconomic motivations of the relevant economic actors who influence labor migration policy. The book updates the study of the political economy of immigration through a focus on the central and pro-active role of employers, exploring how they interact with trade unions and government to reconfigure the labor migration paradigm in Western Europe. By doing so, it is attentive to the logic behind their strategies, being sensitive to macroeconomic changes that produce sectorally variant policy outcomes. Beyond offering a micro-economically informed explanation for immigration policy, the study transcends the field of migration studies by offering insights relevant to larger debates concerning the nature of national varieties of capitalism. Challenging the ''national models'' understanding of capitalism through a multi-country, multi-sectoral study of employers'' policy preferences, it demonstrates how in the area of labor migration, economic branches evidence different worker flexibility needs that lead to differing policy results within countries yet similar responses in the same industries of different countries. Though the book''s case studies examine policy development and the role of German, British, Austrian, and Dutch employers, the central comparison is that of Germany, with its highly regulated economy, to the more laissez-faire UK. The book analyzes labor migration policy with four concentrations: IT, hospitality, construction and metalwork, the impact of differing worker flexibility requirements upon employer calculations to make findings more obvious.

Defining and Defending the Open Door Policy - Dr. Gregory Moore - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Defining and Defending the Open Door Policy - Dr. Gregory Moore - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

There has been little examination of the China policy of the Theodore Roosevelt administration. Works dealing with the topic fall either into brief discussions in biographies of Roosevelt, general surveys of Sino-American relations, or studies of special topics, such as the Chinese exclusion issue, which encompass a portion of the Roosevelt years. Moreover, the subject has been overshadowed somewhat by studies of problems between Japan and the United States in this era. The goal of this study is to offer a more complete examination of the American relationship with China during Roosevelt’s presidency. The focus will be on the discussion of major issues and concerns in the relationship of the two nations from the time Roosevelt took office until he left, something that this book does for the first time. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on creating a more complete picture of Teddy Roosevelt and China relations, especially in regard to his and his advisers’ perceptual framework of that region and its impact upon the making of China policy. The goal of this study is to begin that process.Special attention is paid to the question of how Roosevelt and the members of his administration viewed China, as it is believed that their viewpoints, which were prejudicial, were very instrumental in how they chose to deal with China and the question of the Open Door. The emphasis on the role of stereotyping gives the book a particularly unique point of view. Readers will be made aware of the difficulties of making foreign policy under challenging conditions, but also of how the attitudes and perceptions of policymakers can shape the direction that those policies can take. A critical argument of the book is that a stereotyped perception of China and its people inhibited American policy responses toward the Chinese state in Roosevelt’s Administration. While Roosevelt’s attitudes regarding white supremacy have been discussed elsewhere, a fuller consideration of how his views affected the making of foreign policy, particularly China policy, is needed, especially now that Sino-American relations today are of great concern.

Hyper-Exploitation in the Hacker Movement - Yä±lmaz Alä±skan - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Hyper-Exploitation in the Hacker Movement - Yä±lmaz Alä±skan - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Yılmaz Alışkan discusses the capitalist exploitation of digital media and examines how free time and creativity can be exploited in open source communities, with corporations often benefiting from community-generated knowledge. Focusing on open-source hardware communities, in which hackers give up a considerable amount of free time and creativity to create open technology, Alışkan investigates how free time becomes a “hyper-exploited” commodity from which capital is increasingly accumulated. Whereas paid workers are still often exploited, Alışkan posits that open-source workers are further “hyper-exploited” by technology companies as they receive no compensation for their labour. Ultimately, this book reveals how the time and activity of volunteers in open-source communities are ripe for capitalist exploitation that blurs the line between leisure and work time, often disguised by assertions that such labour is “fun” or in line with volunteers’ personal interests or values. Scholars of communication, digital media, sociology, and labour studies will find this book of particular interest.

The Dynamics of Connection - David C. Bell - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Dynamics of Connection - David C. Bell - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Dynamics of Connection: How Evolution and Biology Create Caregiving and Attachment describes the logic of giving, love, trust, and nurturance. Bowlby''s theory of attachment provides an excellent starting point for an explanation of nurturance, but there are some limitations in this theory, especially its tendency to minimize the caregiving side of the relationship. The book builds on and extends Bowlby''s theory by examining the evolutionary evidence for both attachment and caregiving, the origins of which can be seen in the earliest mammals. It describes neurobiological research that has identified the brain circuits that underlie caregiving and attachment. The book then describes a theory of relationships based on these neurobiological circuits and the resulting human desire to give and receive emotional contact, warmth, and support. The theory details the emotional logic of this relationship process. The proactive connection process (caregiving), characteristic of parents, involves a growing capacity for both empathy and responsibility. In the receptive process (attachment), trust grows from the experience of being cared for and nurtured. These processes coexist alongside other motivations with which they interact. The Dynamics of Connection introduces a view of the dyadic social psychology of connection that underlies both parent-child and close adult relationships. It provides a description and explanation of parental and adult nurturance. It gives a long-needed account of the origins of social norms of parenting. While building on the foundation of attachment theory, David Bell brings together new insights from both evolutionary theory and neurobiology to deepen our understanding of caregiving and attachment.

Higher Education - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Higher Education - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Higher Education: Open for Business addresses a problem in higher learning, which is newly recognized in the academic spotlight: the overcommercialization of higher education. The book asks that you, the reader, think about the following: Did you go to a Coke or Pepsi school? Do your children attend a Nike or Adidas school? Is the college in your town a Dell or Gateway campus? These questions should not be a primary concern for students, parents or faculty in an environment that has to allow students to freely focus on learning. But in a time of fiscal uncertainty, can higher education ignore the benefits of commercial ventures? It may seem foolish to do so. However, commercialism has gotten too close to certain aspects of academia such as the campus environment, classroom activities, academic research, and college sports. This disturbing encroachment of academic ground is addressed in Higher Education: Open for Business by a diverse host of authors who are closely involved in higher learning.

Institutional Epistemology and Extreme Inequality - Marco Luka Zubcic - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Institutional Epistemology and Extreme Inequality - Marco Luka Zubcic - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Institutional Epistemology and Extreme Inequality: Knowledge and Governance in a Non-ideal World provides an account of the fundamental design of an institutional system that can reliably solve problems, learn, and attain knowledge. Reconciling non-ideal system-oriented epistemic democracy and liberalism, Marko-Luka Zubčić develops a unified theory of institutional epistemology. From Deweyan experimentalism and Hayekian epistemic institutionalism to open democracy and pluralist liberalism of New Diversity Theory, Zubčić integrates insights from pragmatism, studies of division of cognitive labor and collective search under complexity, governance studies, and critical social epistemology. Institutional Epistemology and Extreme Inequality also provides a new, decisive epistemological argument that protection against extreme economic inequalities is a condition of epistemic reliability of an institutional system. Thus, Zubčić shows that—along with constitutional liberties, self-governance, open markets, and polycentricity—freedom from poverty and limits on private wealth are the institutional devices we collectively and individually need to reliably solve difficult problems and attain knowledge.

Geopolitics, Trade Blocks, and the Fragmentation of World Commerce - Uri Dadush - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Geopolitics, Trade Blocks, and the Fragmentation of World Commerce - Uri Dadush - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The global economic edifice built after World War II, was a source of unprecedented prosperity, and could not have functioned without open and predictable international trade and the peaceful international relations that are its foundation. The rules that enable trade are outdated and under attack. Social divisions and great power rivalry have eroded the political support for open trade. The consequence is fragmentation of world trade, its separation into blocks that advance domestic producers or most favored nations nearby. These blocs are themselves often pulled by competing agendas. The prospects are for vastly reduced economic efficiency and - most ominously - heightened geopolitical tensions. The questions about why this is happening, how economic fragmentation will evolve, and how to respond to it, are today uppermost in the minds of policymakers and businesses across the world. These are the questions that Uri Dadush seeks to answer in Geopolitics, Trade Blocks, and the Fragmentation of World Commerce . The world economy is already mired in profound trade uncertainty, which is likely to persist. Since it cannot be dispelled, the uncertainty must be better managed.

Regulating the Web - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Regulating the Web - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Since its popularization in the mid 1990s, the Internet has impacted nearly every aspect of our cultural and personal lives. Over the course of two decades, the Internet remained an unregulated medium whose characteristic openness allowed numerous applications, services, and websites to flourish. By 2005, Internet Service Providers began to explore alternative methods of network management that would permit them to discriminate the quality and speed of access to online content as they saw fit. In response, the Federal Communications Commission sought to enshrine “net neutrality” in regulatory policy as a means of preserving the Internet’s open, nondiscriminatory characteristics. Although the FCC established a net neutrality policy in 2010, debate continues as to who ultimately should have authority to shape and maintain the Internet’s structure. Regulating the Web brings together a diverse collection of scholars who examine the net neutrality policy and surrounding debates from a variety of perspectives. In doing so, the book contributes to the ongoing discourse about net neutrality in the hopes that we may continue to work toward preserving a truly open Internet structure in the United States.

Everyday Life Ecologies - Alice Dal Gobbo - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Everyday Life Ecologies - Alice Dal Gobbo - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Everyday Life Ecologies: Sustainability, Crisis, and Resistance is about those complex, sticky, but also open arrangements of bodies, objects, and plants that make up daily existence. The multiple and interlocking lines of a long capitalist crisis disrupt their normal flow: sometimes, they open opportunities for transformation, sometimes else, they foreclose horizons of change. In contrast with approaches that respond to environmental crisis by advocating “sustainable lifestyles” and “responsible behaviors,” Alice Dal Gobbo suggests that it is necessary to address the complex socio-material relationalities that constitute everyday ecologies. Beyond that, the book argues for their politicization, illuminating daily existence as embedded in capitalist relations of re/production. Combining political ecology and new materialist sensitivities, this book investigates the ways in which ecologically damaging logics are inscribed in everyday assemblages through their habitual rehearsal and libidinal hold. But it also points to how apparently banal acts of resistance embody and promote different logics, such as a logic of care and an ecological “aesth-ethics” of desire. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in the Northeast of Italy, this journey through the concrete matters and beings of daily life in crisis talks beyond this emplaced reality and dialogues with emerging forms of contestation and prefiguration that put socio-ecological reproduction at their center.

Hereafter Knowing in Sonnets and Their Similars - Robert Mueller - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Hereafter Knowing in Sonnets and Their Similars - Robert Mueller - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Hereafter Knowing in Sonnets and Other Similars explores the work of prominent poets through a philosophical and theological lens. The book focuses on the well-travelled yet precarious achievement that is Petrarch’s writing of the sonnet in Italian, his English successors Wyatt and Spenser with their own amatory strategies, and how Shakespeare’s sonnets turn the many difficult corners for imagining a writing against the untimely. Its reach includes ancient, medieval, and modern philosophy; scripture; patristic theology; Renaissance and Contemporary poetry; and numerous language traditions including Greek, Latin, Italian, French, German, and English. Robert Mueller explores a set of writers who address themselves to significant Others—Dan Machlin to his body, Augustine to God, Petrarch to Laura, etc.—alongside Aristotelian and other forms of epistemology. Through exacting, insightful, and original readings of these writers, Mueller analyzes the circuits and relations that connect them to those they address, with particular attention to the ways they know and understand the objects of their poems and the temporal positions they adopt in respect to these objects. It offers new readings of canonical and noncanonical texts and assembles a singular archive of writers across many centuries and language traditions.

The Queer Life of Things - Anne M. Harris - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In The Queer Life of Things: Performance, Affect, and the More-Than-Human, Anne M. Harris and Stacy Holman Jones offer readers a series of chapters united in their fascination with the animals, plants, and things with whom we share and compose our lives. Harris and Holman Jones pick up and follow bread-crumb trails of new materialist, posthumanist, affect, performance, and feminist theoretics as they explore contemporary life and world-making. They use queer theory to break open and go beyond reason, searching for ethical and artful ways of sustaining ourselves, our multi-species companions, and our planet.

Medieval America - Paul H. Gates - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Medieval America - Paul H. Gates - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Well into the twenty-first century, the United States remains one of the most highly religious industrial democracies on earth. Recent Gallup surveys suggest that 76 percent of Americans believe that the Bible is divinely inspired or the direct word of God. In Medieval America, Andrew M Koch and Paul H. Gates, Jr. offer a thoughtful examination of how this strong religious feeling, coupled with Christian doctrine, affects American political debates and collective practices and surveying the direct and indirect influence of religion and faith on American political culture. Koch and Gates open a more critical dialogue on the political influence of religion in American politics, showing that people’s faith shapes their political views and the policies they support. Even with secular structures and processes, a democratic regime will reflect the belief patterns distributed among the public. Delving into a perspicacious analysis of the religious components in current practices in education, the treatment of political symbols, crime and punishment, the human body, and democratic politics, they contend that promoting and maintaining a free, open, and tolerant society requires the necessary limitation of religious influence in the domains of law and policy. Readers interested in religion and politics will find much to discuss in this incisive exploration of Christian beliefs and their impact on American political discourse.

Expanding the Category "Human" - Patrick Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The climate within the discipline of psychology has changed considerably since the middle of the twentieth century. More specifically, what it means to be a human has changed. In Expanding the Category “Human”: Nonhumanism, Posthumanism, and Humanistic Psychology, Patrick M. Whitehead argues that the metaphysical problems that psychologists faced sixty years ago are not the same ones they face today. Humanistic psychologists could once choose to protect the integrity of human beings as well as to engage in open inquiry and accept all human beings, but Whitehead contends that a choice between the two must now be made. This book is recommended for scholars and practitioners of psychology and philosophy.

Brazil and Canada - Rosana Barbosa - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a synthesis of the relationship between Brazil and Canada, or what comprises Canada today, with the objective of uncovering a neglected history. This book covers from the first known exchange of migrants between the two countries in 1828 to 1979 when a political openness in the Brazilian military dictatorship gave rise to a new chapter in the two countries’ relationship. As the first synthetic treatment of this relationship, this book not only aims to build on the limited historiography that exists, but also to open up new interpretive channels that can be further explored in the future. Recommended for scholars of Latin American studies, history, and international relations.

Higher Education Implications for Teaching and Learning during COVID-19 - - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Higher Education Implications for Teaching and Learning during COVID-19 provides different perspectives regarding the impact of COVID-19 on college teaching and learning and on students, both collectively and individually. Contributors argue that the pandemic forced a higher education reckoning as institutions around the world were forced to shut their physical doors and open up their online platforms in a wider capacity. While these concerns are linked to a certain point in time, there is much we can learn from collective institutional responses to the pandemic-induced pivots to virtual teaching and learning. Scholars of higher education, organizational communication, and crisis communication will find this book particularly useful.

The Burden of Democracy - Genevieve Souillac - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

This book offers an original contribution to the debate on contemporary democratic ethics. It argues that public culture provides the mediating spaces required for processes of encounter, but should be supplemented with an open dialog on history, memory, and identity. Since democratic modernity is consolidating its new phase characterized by the multiplicity of perspectives, the mediation of conflict, identity, and memory are required to continue fostering mutual understanding and the identification of issues of common concern. The historical emergence of a public culture is a democratic gain. Recognizing this offers opportunities for ethical transformation that respects diversity but also addresses the realities of conflict under conditions of post modernity.
