Death-Facing Ecology in Contemporary British and North American Environmental Crisis Fiction

Death-Facing Ecology in Contemporary British and North American Environmental Crisis Fiction

Recent years have seen a burgeoning of novels that respond to the environmental issues we currently face. Among these Louise Squire defines environmental crisis fiction as concerned with a range of environmental issues and with the human subject as a catalyst for these issues. She argues that this fiction is characterised by a thematic use of death through which it explores a crisis of both environment and self. Squire refers to this emergent thematic device as death-facing ecology. This device enables this fiction to engage with a range of theoretical ideas and with popular notions of death and the human condition as cultural phenomena of the modern West. In doing so this fiction invites its readers to consider how humanity might begin to respond to the crisis. | Death-Facing Ecology in Contemporary British and North American Environmental Crisis Fiction

Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire 1792 to 1903 The Transition from Natural Horn to Valved Horn

Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire 1792 to 1903 The Transition from Natural Horn to Valved Horn

The transition from the valveless natural horn to the modern valved horn in 19th-century Paris was different from similar transitions in other countries. While valve technology was received happily by players of other members of the brass family strong support for the natural horn with its varied color palette and virtuoso performance traditions slowed the reception and application of the valve to the horn. Using primary sources including Conservatoire method books accounts of performances and technological advances and other evidence this book tells the story of the transition from natural horn to valved horn at the Conservatoire from 1792 to 1903 including close examination of horn teaching before the arrival of valved brass in Paris the initial reception and application of this technology to the horn the persistence of the natural horn and the progression of acceptance use controversies and eventual adoption of the valved instrument in the Parisian community and at the Conservatoire. Active scholars performers and students interested in the horn 19th-century brass instruments teaching methods associated with the Conservatoire and the intersection of technology and performing practice will find this book useful in its details and conclusions including ramifications on historically-informed performance today. | Horn Teaching at the Paris Conservatoire 1792 to 1903 The Transition from Natural Horn to Valved Horn

Flashbacks in Film A Cognitive and Multimodal Analysis

Flashbacks in Film A Cognitive and Multimodal Analysis

Flashbacks in Film examines film flashback as a rich multimodal narrative device analyzing the cognitive underpinnings of film flashbacks and the mechanisms that lead viewers to successfully comprehend them. Combining a cognitive film theory approach with the theoretical framework proposed by blending theory which claims that human beings’ general ability for conceptual integration underlies most of our daily activities this book argues that flashbacks make sense to the viewer as they are specifically designed for the viewer’s cognitive understanding. Through a mixture of analysis and dozens of case studies this book demonstrates that successful film flashbacks appeal to the spectator’s natural perceptual and cognitive abilities which spectators exercise daily. This book will serve as a valuable resource for scholars interested in film studies media studies and cognitive linguistics. | Flashbacks in Film A Cognitive and Multimodal Analysis

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

First published in 1989 Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model assumes that since the October Revolution the development of the Soviet Union has essentially been a process of trial and error. Economic rationality has been sacrificed to political expedients and the cultural sphere has been put to use as a legitimating and rationalizing device. This book analyses the internal logic of this process from the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution to Gorbachev’s ‘revolution from above’ including coverage of the Stalin Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras. The book focuses on the structural determinants of the Soviet Model thus seeking to reveal the specific rationalities that characterizes ‘Soviet man’. Its conclusion casts serious doubt on the likelihood of new policies defeating seven decades of Bolshevik rule and social indoctrination. It will be of interest to students of economics political science and history. | Ideology and Rationality in the Soviet Model A legacy for Gorbachev

World Heritage Tourism and Identity Inscription and Co-production

World Heritage Tourism and Identity Inscription and Co-production

The remarkable success of the 1972 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is borne out by the fact that nearly 1 000 properties have now been designated as possessing Outstanding Universal Value and recognition given to the imperative for their protection. However the remarkable success of the Convention is not without its challenges and a key issue for many Sites relates to the touristic legacies of inscription. For many sites inscription on the World Heritage List acts as a promotional device and the management challenge is one of protection conservation and dealing with increased numbers of tourists. For other sites designation has not brought anticipated expansion in tourist numbers and associated investments. What is clear is that tourism is now a central concern to the wide array of stakeholders involved with World Heritage Sites. | World Heritage Tourism and Identity Inscription and Co-production

The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

This title was first published in 2001. This work examines four post-Cold War interventions launched on behalf of people on the move: international action in Iraq Bosnia Somalia and Rwanda. Because these crises accompanied the emergence of the concept of Internationally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in international relations they have shaped the understandings of forced displacement issues such as ethnic cleansing need and humanitarian action. The author looks at attitudes towards IDPs concluding that UN-backed interventions regarding displaced civilians were primarily about deterring sometimes preventing them from escaping places of conflict. Protection in this context became a device by which international protagonists sought to contain people on the move within the confines of their collapsed states. As a result levels of safety effectively granted by the international community depended less on the vulnerability of populations than on Western fears of mass border crossings. | The International Containment of Displaced Persons Humanitarian Spaces without Exit

The Past in Contemporary Society: Then Now

The Past in Contemporary Society: Then Now

Changes or innovations which threaten `our heritage' arouse great hostility in those who want to preserve the past in its entirity. `The heritage' has become a commodity a device to sell everything from biscuits to country houses. Fowler skilfully examines the present relationship between the past and the present analysing the manner in which we mould and interpret the past to fit our current needs. He assesses the influence of our heritage in the last decade of the 20th century and with a wide range of examples judges the consequences of the increasing pressures of the heritage industry. As well as a diagnosis of where the past is being misused he provides prescriptions for responsible development and a thoughtful interpretation of a common past. As well as addressing the needs of the professional involved in the heritage industry he also considers the consumer - all those who visit museums enjoy a historic site or an art exhibition or who simply dislike the hijacking of our common heritage by commercial or vested interests. | The Past in Contemporary Society: Then Now

Financing Urban Government in the Welfare State

Financing Urban Government in the Welfare State

First Published in 1980 Financing Urban Government in the Welfare State shows how intergovernmental structures have now become the main policy device designed for an earlier age and often for quite different purposes linking national and local policymaking. Special attention is given to the historical structures which now form the basis for national - local spending and investment decisions and which moderate the increasing interdependence of national and local decisions. The so called ‘crisis’ of urban spending has not emerged as a major problem but each country has sought to modify and adapt old bargaining procedures to the new needs and problems of local government. The manner in which this has been done reflects crucially important aspects of the political process in each country- Britain France the United States Germany and the Netherlands and does not follow the lines that might be suggested by economic deterministic thinking. Essentially each country must work out its historical and institutional compromise between the financial problems of national and local government with politics continuing to have an important explanatory role in understanding contemporary urban development. This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of urban studies urban politics and public policy

Itineraries and Languages of Madness in the Early Modern World Family Experience Legal Practice and Medical Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century

Itineraries and Languages of Madness in the Early Modern World Family Experience Legal Practice and Medical Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century

Drawing on a wide range of sources including interdiction procedures records of criminal justice documentation from mental hospitals and medical literature this book provides a comprehensive study of the spaces in which madness was recorded in Tuscany during the eighteenth century. It proposes the notion of itineraries of madness which intended as an heuristic device enables us to examine records of madness across the different spaces where it was disclosed casting light on the connections between how madness was understood and experienced the language employed to describe it and public and private responses devised to cope with it. Placing the emotional experience of the Tuscan families at the core of its analysis this book stresses the central role of families in the shaping of new understandings of madness and how lay notions interacted with legal and medical knowledge. It argues that perceptions of madness in the eighteenth century were closely connected to new cultural concerns regarding family relationships and family roles which resulted in a shift in the meanings of and attitudes to mental disturbances. | Itineraries and Languages of Madness in the Early Modern World Family Experience Legal Practice and Medical Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century

Skype: Bodies Screens Space

Skype: Bodies Screens Space

Despite the popularity of Skype with video many of us are still figuring out how to ‘do’ it. Interviews reveal that we can now run the programme but we are less certain about how to ‘perform’ in front of the webcam. Seeing ourselves in the box on the side can feel strange. We are not quite sure which bits of our bodies to display on the screen how much to move around the room or move the device around the room. Is it acceptable to use Skype with video at a funeral in crowded spaces or while in bed? This book addresses how people are emotionally and affectually connecting with others audio-synchronously on the screen in a variety of different spatial contexts. Topics include Skype with video being used by grandparents to connect with grandchildren friends and family using it for special occasions and partners using it for romance and sex. Theories addressing bodies gender queerness phenomenology and orientation inform the research. It concludes that while Skype does not offer some kind of utopian future it does open up possibilities for existing power relations to be filtered through new lines of sight/site which are shaping what bodies can do and where. | Skype: Bodies Screens Space

Testimony and Witnessing in Psychoanalysis A Literary and Philosophical Perspective

Testimony and Witnessing in Psychoanalysis A Literary and Philosophical Perspective

In this fascinating volume Zipi Rosenberg Schipper approaches the fundamental topic of testimony seeking to recognize its value as a distinct and vital function in psychoanalytic work separate from its inherited importance to work on trauma. Rosenberg Schipper introduces a revivifying philosophical linguistic and psychoanalytic approach to the act of testimony focusing on the role of witnessing in daily life and the importance it has as a therapeutic tool in psychoanalytic and psychological therapy. Throughout she pinpoints three key psychoanalytic theories on patient testimony. She begins by looking at Freud’s foundational work on testimony as a means of concealing the unconscious and the questions of credibility in the consulting room this creates before looking at Winnicottian and Kohutian theories whereby therapists take everything the patient says as a definitive truth. She concludes by looking at the Intersubjective and Relational schools of thought where the therapist assumes the role of witness. By providing a comprehensive overview of the conflicting theories on the topic Rosenberg Schipper equips practicing psychoanalysts and analysts-in-training with the tools necessary to utilize this vital therapeutic device and engage with it in treatment for all patients. | Testimony and Witnessing in Psychoanalysis A Literary and Philosophical Perspective

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions offers an in-depth analysis of the multiple roles that exhibition graphics perform in contemporary museums and exhibitions. Drawing on a study of exhibitions that took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum London the Museum of London and the Haus der Geschichte Bonn Piehl brings together approaches from museum studies design practice and narrative theory to examine museum exhibitions as multimodal narratives in which graphics account for one set of narrative resources. The analysis underlines the importance of aspects such as accessibility and at the same time problematises conceptualisations that focus only on the effectiveness of graphics as display device by drawing attention to the contributions that graphics make towards the content on display and to the ways in which it is experienced in the museum space. Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions argues for a critical reading of and engagement with exhibition graphic design as part of wider debates around meaning-making in museum studies and exhibition-making practice. As such the book should be essential reading for academics researchers and students from the fields of museum and design studies. Practitioners such as exhibition designers graphic designers curators and other exhibition makers should also find much to interest them in the book. | Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport Shaming the Colour Line

In the decade since Kevin Hylton’s seminal book ‘Race’ and Sport: Critical Race Theory was published racialised issues have remained at the forefront of sport and leisure studies. In this important new book Hylton draws on original research in contemporary contexts from sport coaching to cyberspace to show once again that Critical Race Theory is an insightful and productive tool for interrogating problematic social phenomena. Inspired by W. E. B. Du Bois’ statement that the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line this book sheds a critical light on the way sport perpetuates racism while identifying opportunities to challenge its insidious presence. Exploring and explaining the ways in which notions of ‘race’ are expressed and contested at individual institutional and societal levels it addresses key topics such as whiteness diversity colourblindness unconscious bias identity leadership humour and discourse to investigate how language can be used as a device for resistance against racism in sport. Contesting ‘Race’ and Sport: Shaming the Colour Line is vital reading for all sport studies students academics and those with an interest in race ethnicity and society.

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties for example by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies including acting informally modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law abstain from using the law and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies. | Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Basil Bernstein The thinker and the field

Basil Bernstein The thinker and the field

Basil Bernstein: The Thinker and the Field provides a comprehensive introduction to the work of Basil Bernstein demonstrating his distinctive contribution to social theory by locating it within the historical context of the development of the sociology of education and Sociology in Britain. Although Bernstein had a particular interest in education he did not see himself as a sociologist of education alone. By exploring Bernstein’s intellectually collaborative character and the evolving system of ideas drawing upon anthropology and linguistics the originality of Bernstein’s contribution to the social sciences can be truly identified. Rob Moore’s text offers a provocative and challenging account both of Bernstein and of British sociology and education approaching Bernstein’s work as a complex model of intertwining ideas rather than a single theory. Continued interest in Bernstein’s work has opened up a world-wide network of scholarship and Moore considers contemporary research alongside classical sources in Durkheim and Marx to provide a historical analysis of the fields of British Sociology and the sociology of education pinpointing Bernstein’s position within them. The book is organised into two main parts: The Field Background and Beginnings Durkheim Cosmology and Education The Problematic The Structure of Pedagogic Discourse Bernstein and Theory Bernstein and research The Pedagogic Device Written by a leading authority in the field this text will be valuable reading for post-graduate students of sociology and education along with active researchers and their research students. | Basil Bernstein The thinker and the field

The Formalization of Dialectics

The Formalization of Dialectics

This book explores the relationship between Hegel’s dialectics and formal logic. It examines the concept of dialectics its meaning and its use in contemporary thought. The volume opens the “old” debate about the formalization of Hegel’s dialectics and is motivated by the idea that asking about the connection between Hegel’s dialectics and formal logic is still relevant for various reasons: Firstly a new Hegel is circulating nowadays in the philosophical literature with specific reference to Hegel’s dialectical logic and its relation to the history and philosophy of logic. Secondly new research about the connection between contradictory logical systems and Hegel's dialectics is also being developed. Finally there have been recent confirmations that the concept of dialectics is of general interest and that the usual perplexities about the Hegelian triadic and fairly mechanic device of ‘yes not and not not’ are in remission. The chapters feature philosophically and historically motivated presentations of formal features of Hegel’s dialectics critical considerations about the very idea of ‘formalizing dialectics’ and presentations of past attempts to formalize Hegel’s dialectics. The Formalization of Dialectics will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of the history and philosophy of logic and Hegel’s dialectics. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about the concept of dialectics its meaning and its use in contemporary thought. This book was originally published as a special issue of History and Philosophy of Logic.

Social Science of the Syringe A Sociology of Injecting Drug Use

Social Science of the Syringe A Sociology of Injecting Drug Use

This book addresses the history of harm reduction. It evaluates the consequences and constraints stakes and costs of the policy of needle exchange for the purposes of harm prevention and health research. Vitellone situates the syringe at the centre of empirical research and theoretical analysis challenging existing accounts of drug injecting which treat the syringe as a dead device that simply facilitates social action between humans. Instead this book complicates the relationship between human and object – injecting drug user and syringe – to ask what happens if we see the object as an intra-active part of the sociality that constitutes injecting practices. And what kinds of methods are required to generate a social science of the syringe that is able to measure injecting sociality? Social Science of the Syringe develops material methodologies and epistemologies of injecting drug use to enact the syringe as an object of intellectual inquiry. It draws on the methodologies of social anthropology Actor-Network-Theory Deleuze’s empiricism and new feminist materialism to move towards materially-engaged knowledge production. This interdisciplinary approach improves understandings of the causes and effects of injecting behaviour and the problem of needle sharing as well as providing a more robust empirical framework to evaluate the motivations and consequences of drug use and drug policy. This book will appeal to researchers and students interested in the sociology of health and illness STS Actor-Network Theory empirical sociology medical anthropology social and cultural anthropology addiction theory and harm reduction. | Social Science of the Syringe A Sociology of Injecting Drug Use

Crony Capitalism in US Health Care Anatomy of a Dysfunctional System

Crony Capitalism in US Health Care Anatomy of a Dysfunctional System

The US political system has come to depend upon money too much. The US health care industry spends the most on political lobbying among all the 13 industrial sectors in the US economy. The government regulatory agencies at both federal and state levels have been captured by the health industry interest groups meaning that the regulatory agencies respond to the interests of the industry but not those of citizens. This book employs a broad theoretical framework of crony capitalism to understand US health care system dysfunction. This framework has not been applied before in any serious manner to understand the shortcomings in the US health care system. Specifically the book examines the role of seven key players using this framework - politicians/interest groups pharmaceutical companies private health insurers hospitals/hospital networks physicians medical device manufacturers and the American public. Crony capitalism is a destructive force and is rampant in US health care system causing much waste inefficiencies and malaise in the system. Current efforts and initiatives such as patient-centered medical homes and precision medicine for improving/reforming the system are of mere academic interest and tantamount to taking aspirin to treat cancer. They do not even pretend to address the root cause of the problem namely crony capitalism. Offering prescriptions to fix the U. S. health care system based on a comprehensive diagnosis of the dysfunction this book will be of interest to researchers academics policymakers and students in the fields of health care management public and non-profit management health policy administration and economics and political science. | Crony Capitalism in US Health Care Anatomy of a Dysfunctional System
