Speaking With One Voice Multivocality and Univocality in Organizing

Not All Claps and Cheers Humor in Business and Society Relationships

Not All Claps and Cheers Humor in Business and Society Relationships

Scholars from various disciplines have studied humor since antiquity. Yet over the centuries these researchers have also struggled to conceptualize a viable well-accepted notion of humor. Beyond pleasure and amusement people use humor for a variety of social functions. On the one hand humor can cause others to like the humorous source more attract regard ease conversations promote expression and the exchange of ideas introduce new topics of discussion or smooth interactions. On the other hand in aggressive forms humor can halt verbal interactions modify the usual rules of conversation communicate critiques or contribute to the creation of subversive environments. Not All Claps and Cheers: Humor in Business and Society Relationships is an original research anthology that considers different angles from which to address the use of humor by individuals groups and business actors in their interactions within around and across organizations—that is at the interfaces of business and society. Accordingly the research anthology is organized in four sections—Humor Business and Society From Society to Business: Humor’s Use and Roles in Activist Movements From Business to Society: Humor’s Use and Roles in Marketing Corporate Communications and Public Relations and Society within Business: Humor’s Use and Roles in the Workplace and in Organizations. This ground-breaking research anthology draws on material from marketing communications human resources and stakeholder theory to throw light on this poorly understood facet of human business behavior. | Not All Claps and Cheers Humor in Business and Society Relationships

Politico-ideological Mobilisation and Violence in the Arab World All In

Politico-ideological Mobilisation and Violence in the Arab World All In

This book presents a study of politico-ideological mobilisation and violence by focusing on the life stories trajectories and narratives of individuals who mobilised for causes and conflicts in the Arab World. It provides a greater understanding of the biographical sociological political and historic factors pertinent for their radicalisation processes. What makes individuals identify with suffering and injustice often of others and elsewhere? Why do individuals feel the need to stand up in the first place and how does violent action become a justifiable or necessary course of action? Why and how do they disengage from violence? This book based on interviews conducted in Lebanon Switzerland and Canada answers these questions. It presents new theoretical insights about politico-ideological mobilisation and violence. By focusing on grievances and grounding analysis in the empirical reality as it is shared and narratively constructed by those who are at the heart of the phenomenon it moves beyond the moralistic and politicised debates that characterise the field. Interviewees include non-violent and violent engagement for causes and conflicts related to the Arab World such as sympathisers or members of groups and causes from a variety of ideological orientations including Shiite militias Salafi-jihadist groups radical left-wing groups Palestine-specific Kurdish groups and others such as right-wing or unspecified affiliations. By choosing individuals with different forms of political engagement both non-violent and violent and different ideological orientations it helps readers to get a better grasp of how similar grievances may lead to different outcomes. In focusing on three markedly different geopolitical contexts the book also provides a crosscontextual understanding of mobilisation for political and violent action. The interviewees also include experts and peripheral actors such as professionals researchers policymakers friends or family members. Their perspectives complement and enrich some of the findings by providing external yet in-depth ‘expert knowledge’. Politico-ideological Mobilisation and Violence in the Arab World will be of great interest to criminologists political scientists sociologists and other scholars interested in the study of terrorism radicalisation and extremism. It will also appeal to journalists policymakers practitioners working in the field.

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

The Romantic age though often associated with free erotic expression was ambivalent about what if anything sex had to do with the public sphere. Late-eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century British texts often repressed the very sexual energies they claimed to be bringing into the open. The delineation of what could and could not be said and done in the name of physical pleasure was of a piece with the capitalist consecration of the social trust to the individual profit-motive. Both these practices moreover presupposed a determinate self with sovereignty over its own interests. Writings from and about some nominally public institutions were thus characterized by privatism—a sexual economic and ontological withdrawal from otherness. Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing: A Public of One explores how this threefold ideology was both propagated and resisted wittingly and unwittingly successfully and unsuccessfully in such Romantic publics as rape-law sodomy-law adultery-law high-profile scandals the population debates and club-culture. It includes readings of imaginative literature by William Beckford William Blake Erasmus Darwin Mary Hays Percy Shelley and Mary Wollstonecraft; works of political economy by Jeremy Bentham William Cobbett William Godwin William Hazlitt and Thomas Robert Malthus; as well as contemporary legal treatises popular journalism and satirical pamphlets. | Sexual Privatism in British Romantic Writing A Public of One

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

In Myers-Briggs Typology vs Jungian Individuation: Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society Steve Myers unravels the century-long misinterpretation of Jung’s seminal text Psychological Types to show how Jung’s thinking offers solutions to the conflicts that have torn apart our societies. By challenging the popular interpretation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and similar instruments Myers argues that we have not only missed Jung’s main proposition but our contemporary interpretation runs counter to it. Myers aims to rediscover the overlooked argument of Jung’s Psychological Types and make it of practical relevance to contemporary issues. He intends to refocus rather than discard Myers-Briggs typology showing that there are further stages of development after becoming a type and that typological principles have a much broader application. Raising queries about the way typology is used in contemporary society Myers uses literary examples such as Romeo and Juliet and Carl Spitteler’s Prometheus and Epimetheus to show how one-sidedness leads to conflict and to illustrate Jung’s solution to the problem of opposites. He also applies this to real-life political crises by examining the decision-making of key political figures such as Nelson Mandela Robert Mugabe and those involved in Brexit or the Northern Ireland peace process. The latter part of the book relates Jung’s process of typological development to his later writings on alchemy notably the axiom of Maria to show how they all have a common goal the transformation of attitude. The book concludes by analysing the implications of the divergence of Myers-Briggs typology and Jungian individuation for the communities who use those ideas. This book puts Jungian individuation back at the forefront of debate and will be essential reading for intermediate and advanced users of Myers-Briggs typology. Due to its political relevance it will also be of interest to Jungian analysts and their clients and to academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas and political science. | Myers-Briggs Typology vs. Jungian Individuation Overcoming One-Sidedness in Self and Society

Children as Place-Makers the innate architect in all of us

Children as Place-Makers the innate architect in all of us

Each of these Analysing Architecture Notebooks is devoted to a particular theme in understanding the rich and varied workings of architecture. They can be thought of as addenda to the foundation volume Analysing Architecture which first appeared in 1997 and has subsequently been enlarged in three further editions. Examining these extra themes as a series of Notebooks rather than as additional chapters in future editions allows greater space for more detailed exploration of a wider variety of examples whilst avoiding the risk of the original book becoming unwieldy. As children we make places spontaneously: on the beach in woodland around our homes… Those places are evidence of a natural language of architecture we all share. Beginning with the child as seed and agent of the places it makes initial sections of Children as Place-makers illustrate the key ‘verbs’ that drive that natural language of architecture. Later sections look at the core importance of the circle of place how as children we are drawn to inhabit boxes and the narrative possibilities that arise when place is linked with imagination. The principal messages of this Notebook are that it is by place-making we make sense of the space of the world in which we live and that the first step in becoming a professional architect is to re-awaken the innate architect inside each of us. | Children as Place-Makers the innate architect in all of us
