Ask the Right Question - Luigi Bandini Buti - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Ask the Right Question - Luigi Bandini Buti - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a clear, yet comprehensive guide to how to structure a design project, focusing in particular on the key questions designers, architects, policy makers and health professionals should consider when working towards inclusion through design. The book is based on a series of lessons held by the author and his colleague Avril Accolla, whose aim was to train technicians at all levels to be capable of catering for the needs of the elderly. It clearly draws the outline of their "Ask the Right Question" approach, whose purpose is to help convey the notions in question appropriately to people with such widely different backgrounds, curricula, interests and cultures. Using a minimalist approach, based mainly on the discussion of eye-catching real-life examples placed in logical order and a crystal clear, engaging style, this book is a must-have for designers, technicians, customers and health practitioners, as well as social scientists and policy makers who deal with inclusive design at different levels and anyone interested in topics related to technological evolution and social integration.

Mise en scene, Acting, and Space in Comics - Geraint D'arcy - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Mise en scene, Acting, and Space in Comics - Geraint D'arcy - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores some of the less frequently questioned ideas which underpin comics creation and criticism. "Mise en scène" is a term which refers to the way in which visual elements work together to create meaning in comics. It is a term that comics have borrowed from cinema, which borrowed it in turn from theatre. But comics are not film and they are not cinema, so how can this term be of any use? If we consider comics to have mise en scène, should not we also ask if the characters in comics act like the characters on film and stage? In its exploration of these ideas, this book also asks what film and theatre can learn from comics.

Blockchain Technology for Managers - Gerald R. Gray - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Blockchain Technology for Managers - Gerald R. Gray - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Blockchain is a technology that tends to be misunderstood by managers that need to make technology acquisition decisions. This book will provide readers with a basic understanding of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT), the technologies that underpin it, and the technologies DLT is built upon. The book is purposefully not a book on how to code or explore other technical aspects of blockchain (other than the fundamentals). Rather, it provides managers with the basic understanding of the architectures and consensus algorithms, how they work, the design trade-offs of each architecture type, and what problems and use cases the core characteristics of DLT are best suited to solve ─ providing business managers with the core information they need to ask the right questions of vendors when making business value assessments and acquisition decisions.

Fact-Checking Journalism and Political Argumentation - Jen Birks - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Fact-Checking Journalism and Political Argumentation - Jen Birks - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This timely book examines the role of fact-checking journalism within political policy debates, and its potential contribution to public engagement. Understanding facts not to operate in a political vacuum, the book argues for a wide remit for fact-checking journalism beyond empirically-checkable facts, to include the causal relationships and predictions that form part of wider political arguments and are central to electoral pledges. Whilst these statements cannot be proven or disproven, fact-checking can, and sometimes does, ask pertinent critical questions about the premises of those claims and arguments. The analysis centres on the three dedicated national British fact-checkers during the UK''s 2017 snap general election, including their activity and engagement on Twitter. The book also makes a close political discourse and argumentation analysis of three key issue debates in flagship reporting from Channel 4 News and the BBC.

Choreography as Embodied Critical Inquiry - Shay Welch - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Choreography as Embodied Critical Inquiry - Shay Welch - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In this book, Shay Welch expands on the contemporary cognitive thinking-in-movement framework, which has its roots in the work of Maxine Sheets-Johnstone but extends and develops within contemporary embodied cognition theory. Welch believes that dance can be used to ask questions, and this book offers a method of how critical inquiry can be embodied. First, she presents the theoretical underpinnings of what this process is and how it can work; second, she introduces the empirical method as a tool that can be used by movers for the purpose of doing embodied inquiry. Exploring the role of embodied cognition and embodied metaphors in mining the body for questions, Welch demonstrates how to utilize movement to explore embodied practices of knowing. She argues that our creative embodied movements facilitate our ability to bodily engage in critical analysis about the world.

Shakespeare and Costume in Practice - Bridget Escolme - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare and Costume in Practice - Bridget Escolme - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

What is the role of costume in Shakespeare production? Shakespeare and Costume in Practice argues that costume design choices are central not only to the creation of period setting and the actor''s work on character, but to the cultural, political, and psychological meanings that the theatre makes of Shakespeare. The book explores questions about what the first Hamlet looked like in his mourning cloak; how costumes for a Shakespeare comedy can reflect or critique the collective nostalgias a culture has for its past; how costume and casting work together to ask new questions about Shakespeare and race. Using production case studies of Hamlet , Much Ado About Nothing , and The Tempest , the book demonstrates that costume design can be a site of experimentation, playfulness, and transgression in the theatre - and that it can provoke audiences to think again about what power, race, and gender look like on the Shakespearean stage.

Ambiguity and Film Criticism - Hoi Lun Law - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Ambiguity and Film Criticism - Hoi Lun Law - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book defends an account of ambiguity which illuminates the aesthetic possibilities of film and the nature of film criticism. Ambiguity typically describes the condition of multiple meanings. But we can find multiple meanings in what appears unambiguous to us. So, what makes ambiguity ambiguous? This study argues that a sense of uncertainty is vital to the concept. Ambiguity is what presses us to inquire into our puzzlement over a movie, to persistently ask "why is it as it is?" Notably, this account of the concept is also an account of its criticism. It recognises that a satisfying assessment of what is ambiguous involves both our reason and doubt; that is, reason and doubt can work together in our practice of reading. This book, then, considers ambiguity as a form of reasonable doubt, one that invites us to reflect on our critical efforts, rethinking the operation of film criticism.

Challenges in the Management of People Convicted of a Sexual Offence - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Challenges in the Management of People Convicted of a Sexual Offence - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an up-to-date analysis of major issues in the field of sexual abuse, both established and emerging, and asks how we can develop the most evidence-based, fit-for-purpose approach in responding to and preventing it. Sexual abuse is a multi-disciplinary, international issue that exists at the crossroads of theory, practice, and research. Therefore, the book is future-facing and asks the reader to critically reflect upon current and future research and practice, and to ask: what next? In doing this the book examines the theory, research, and practice on a range of topics including, grooming behaviors, risk management, risk assessment, sexual fantasies, professional engagement, and policy development. These, and other essential topics for effective and efficient care for people who have committed sexual offenses, are addressed as part of the ultimate goal to reduce and even eliminate sexual victimization in the future.

Contention and Regime Change in Asia - Linda Maduz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Contention and Regime Change in Asia - Linda Maduz - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

In undemocratic settings, where modes of political participation and interest mediation are severely limited, protest may become a major form of political action. When and why does popular upsurge occur in such a setting? What form does it take and what do people ask for? When does protest become regime-threatening? And how does the authoritarian government react? This book explains the dynamics we observe during regime change facing high contention, in which much is at stake both for those in power and their challengers. Focussing on the experiences of democratizing countries in Asia, the author shows that even in the chaotic context of regime change there are regularities in when and how people mobilize. The book applies concepts and methods used in social movement research to the study of regime change and is based on a newly collected protest event dataset of 20 years for Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand.

European Perspectives on Transformation Theory - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

European Perspectives on Transformation Theory - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a concise and comprehensive exploration of the theory of transformative learning by European researchers. Exploring Mezirow''s theory of transformative learning as a ''living theory'', the editors and contributors ask whether there a uniquely European perspective on this theory that reflects Europe''s traditions and contexts. What is the nature of that perspective, and how is it similar or different to those espoused in the USA? This book outlines how the theory of transformative learning has been developed by European researchers, and how it has built upon, critiqued, and enriched the Transformation Theory proposed by Mezirow. Consequently, this volume outlines new theoretical perspectives for the future evolution of transformative learning and explores theoretical perspectives that can be put into practice in a range of fields. This wide-ranging volume will be of interest and value to all those interested in transformative learning theory.

Domestic Abuse Disclosure Schemes - Jamie Grace - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Domestic Abuse Disclosure Schemes - Jamie Grace - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book draws on empirical work to examine the debates surrounding domestic violence disclosure schemes (also known as Clare''s Law), focussing on England and Wales with comparisons to similar jurisdictions. Clare''s Law allows any member of the public the right to ask the police if their partner may pose a risk to them. This book sets out a coherent methodology for analysing these schemes which are growing in popularity. It discusses their pros and cons and the challenges with operating and regulating them. It ultimately seeks to examine whether the disclosure of information concerning the criminal history of one person to that person''s intimate partner will ultimately increase the likelihood of keeping their partner safe. It speaks to academics working in the domestic violence / regulation/ criminal justice/ criminology fields as well as by policy makers in front line services and government agencies.

Metaphors of Coronavirus - Jonathan Charteris Black - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Metaphors of Coronavirus - Jonathan Charteris Black - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the metaphors used in public and media communication to ask how language shapes our moral reasoning about the global coronavirus crisis. The author offers insights into the metaphors, metonyms, allegories and symbols of the global crisis and examines how they have contributed to policy formation and communication. Combining metaphor theory with moral foundations theory, he places metaphors in their historical contexts, and then critically questions why certain tropes might be used in particular situations to persuade and convince an audience. The book takes an integrated approach, involving ideas from cognitive linguistics, history, social psychology and literature to produce a multi-layered and thematically rich interpretation of the language of the pandemic and its social and political consequences. It will be relevant to readers with a background in these areas, as well as anyone with a general interest in the language used to make sense of this global event.

Shipboard Literary Cultures - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Shipboard Literary Cultures - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The essays collected within this volume ask how literary practices are shaped by the experience of being at sea-and also how they forge that experience. Individual chapters explore the literary worlds of naval ships, whalers, commercial vessels, emigrant ships, and troop transports from the seventeenth to the twentieth-first century, revealing a rich history of shipboard reading, writing, and performing. Contributors are interested both in how literary activities adapt to the maritime world, and in how individual and collective shipboard experiences are structured through-and framed by-such activities. In this respect, the volume builds on scholarship that has explored reading as a spatially situated and embodied practice. As our contributors demonstrate, the shipboard environment and the ocean beyond it place the mind and body under peculiar forms of pressure, and these determine acts of reading-and of writing and performing-in specific ways.

Epistemic Decolonization - D.a. Wood - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Epistemic Decolonization - D.a. Wood - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

European colonization played a major role in the acquisition, formation, and destruction of different ways of knowing. Recently, many scholars and activists have come to ask: Are there ways in which knowledge might be decolonized? Epistemic Decolonization examines a variety of such projects from a critical and philosophical perspective. The book introduces the unfamiliar reader to the wide variety of approaches to the topic at hand, providing concrete examples along the way. It argues that the predominant contemporary approach to epistemic decolonization leads one into various intractable theoretical and practical problems. The book then closely investigates the political and scientific work of Frantz Fanon and Amílcar Cabral, demonstrating how their philosophical commitments can help lead one out of the practical and theoretical issues faced by the current, predominant orientation, and concludes by forging links between their work and that of some contemporary feminist epistemologists.
