The Future of Global Competition Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese Iranian Russian and Venezuelan Media

The Future of Global Competition Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese Iranian Russian and Venezuelan Media

With today’s social and geopolitical order in significant flux this project offers vital insight into the future global order by comparatively charting national media perceptions regarding the future of global competition through the lens of Ontological Security (OS). The authors employ a mixed-method approach to analyze 620 news articles from 47 Russian Chinese Venezuelan and Iranian news sources over a five-year period (2014-2019) quantitatively comparing the drivers of their visions while providing in-depth qualitative case studies for each nation. Not only do these narratives reveal how these four nations understand the current global order but also point to their (in)flexibility and agentic capacity for reflection in adapting even shaping the future order and their identity-roles within it around an economic and diplomatic battleground. The authors argue these narratives create trajectories with inertial effects grounded in their OS needs providing enduring insights into their behavior and interests moving into the future. The Future of Global Coopetition will help readers understand how influential nations typical aligned in opposition to the US envision the drivers of global competition and the make-up of the future international system. Those engaged in the study of media global politics international relations and communication will find this book to be a critical source. | The Future of Global Competition Ontological Security and Narratives in Chinese Iranian Russian and Venezuelan Media

Queer Latinx and Bilingual Narrative Resources in the Negotiation of Identities

Queer Latinx and Bilingual Narrative Resources in the Negotiation of Identities

Shortlisted for the 2018 BAAL Book PrizeThis book is a sociolinguistic ethnography of LGBT Mexicans/Latinxs in Phoenix Arizona a major metropolitan area in the U. S. Southwest. The main focus of the book is to examine participants’ conceptions of their ethnic and sexual identities and how identities influence (and are influenced by) language practices. This book explores the intersubjective construction and negotiation of identities among queer Mexicans/Latinxs paying attention to how identities are co-constructed in the interview setting in coming out narratives and in narratives of silence. The book destabilizes the dominant narrative on language maintenance and shift in sociolinguistics much of which relies on a (heterosexual) family-based model of intergenerational language transmission by bringing those individuals often at the margin of the family (LGBTQ members) to the center of the analysis. It contributes to the queering of bilingualism and Spanish in the U. S. not only by including a previously unstudied subgroup (LGBTQ people) but also by providing a different lens through which to view the diverse language and identity practices of U. S. Mexicans/Latinxs. This book addresses this exclusion and makes a significant contribution to the study of bilingualism and multilingualism by bringing LGBTQ Latinas/os to the center of the analysis. | Queer Latinx and Bilingual Narrative Resources in the Negotiation of Identities

Preventive Conservation - From Climate and Damage Monitoring to a Systemic and Integrated Approach Proceedings of the International WTA - PR

Preventive Conservation - From Climate and Damage Monitoring to a Systemic and Integrated Approach Proceedings of the International WTA - PR

The concept of preventive conservation has successfully introduced the knowledge that prevention is better than cure into the built heritage sector. The benefits of this approach are the cost-effectiveness the improved protection of heritage values the reduced risk for accumulating deterioration and additional damage the prolongation of the physical service life of buildings and building parts and the empowerment of local communities in dealing with heritage. Increasingly arguments rise against reactive treatment patterns which result too often in postponed interventions and increasing costs for restoration. WTA-Nederland-Vlaanderen the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation and the Civil Engineering Department of KU Leuven jointly organised an international conference on preventive conservation approaches - including climate and damage monitoring - and how to implement these monitoring tools within a systemic approach. The conference took place in context of the international WTA days 3-5 April 2019 and the 10th anniversary of the UNESCO Chair on Preventive Conservation Monitoring and Maintenance of Monuments and Sites (PRECOM³OS). The contributions meet the increasing demand for information case studies and practical examples to support the transition towards more preventive rather than reactive conservation actions. The volume aims at academics and professionals involved or interested in the conservation of buildings building parts and heritage. | Preventive Conservation - From Climate and Damage Monitoring to a Systemic and Integrated Approach Proceedings of the International WTA - PR
