At Home with Ivan Vladislavić An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

At Home With Ivan Vladislavić is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavić. Bringing a flaneur’s internal GPS to postcolonial Johannesburg Vladislavić established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur’s deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way Vladislavić created a culture of sustainability.

Putin’s Dark Ages Political Neomedievalism and Re-Stalinization in Russia

Two decades before the war against Ukraine a “special operation” was launched against Russian historical memory aggressively reshaping the nation’s understanding of its history and identity. The Kremlin’s militarization of Russia through World War II propaganda is well documented but the glorification of Russian medieval society and its warlords as a source of support for Putinism has yet to be explored. This book offers the first comparison of Putin’s political neomedievalism and re-Stalinization and introduces the concept of mobmemory to the study of right-wing populism. It argues that the celebration of the oprichnina Ivan the Terrible’s regime of state terror (1565–1572) has been fused with the rehabilitation of Stalinism to reconstruct the Russian Empire. The post-Soviet case suggests that the global obsession with the Middle Ages is not purely an aesthetic movement but a potential weapon against democracy. The book is intended for students scholars and non-specialists interested in understanding Russia’s anti-modern politics and the Russians’ support for the terror unleashed against Ukraine. | Putin’s Dark Ages Political Neomedievalism and Re-Stalinization in Russia

Interdisciplinary Approaches to Disability Looking Towards the Future: Volume 2

How can a deep engagement with disability studies change our understanding of sociology literary studies gender studies aesthetics bioethics social work law education or history? Interdisciplinary Approaches to Disability (the companion volume to Manifestos for the Future of Critical Disability Studies) identifies both the practical and theoretical implications of such an interdisciplinary dialogue and challenges people in disability studies as well as other disciplinary fields to critically reflect on their professional praxis in terms of theory practice and methods. Topics covered include interdisciplinary outlooks ranging from media studies games studies education performance history and curation through to theology and immunology. Perspectives are drawn from different regions from the European Union to the Global South with chapters that draw on a range of different national backgrounds. Our contributors who write as either disabled people or allies do not proceed from a singular approach to disability often reflecting different or even opposing positions. The collection features contributions from both established and new voices in international disability studies outlining their own visions for the future of the field. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Disability will be of interest to all scholars and students working within the fields of disability studies cultural studies sociology law history and education. The concerns raised here are further in Manifestos for the Future of Critical Disability Studies. | Interdisciplinary Approaches to Disability Looking Towards the Future: Volume 2

Sham Ruins A User's Guide

In the middle of the eigtheenth century a new fad found its way into the gardens of England's well-to-do: building fake Gothic ruins. Newly constructed castle towers and walls looked like they were already falling apart even on the first day of their creation. Made of stone plaster or even canvas these sham ruins are often considered an embarrassing blip in English architectural history. However Sham Ruins: A User's Guide expands the specific example of the sham ruin into a general principle to examine the way purposely broken objects can be used to both uncover old truths and invent new ones. Along with architecture work by Ivan Vladislavić Tom Stoppard Alain Mabanckou Aleksei Fedorchenko Michael Haneke and Sturtevant is used to develop this thesis as well as artifacts such as pre-torn jeans fake histories and broken screen apps. Using these examples one of the key questions the book raises is: what is it that sham ruins ruin? In other words if real ruins are ruins of what they actually are then sham ruins should be considered ruins of what they are not. Thus sham ruins are about imposing new meaning where such meaning does not and should not exist. They also can show how things we think are functioning well are actually already broken. Sham ruins do this and much more by being lies ruses and embarrassments. This is what gives them the power with which we can think about objects in new unintended ways. | Sham Ruins A User's Guide

Behaviorism

Watson was the father of behaviorism. His now-revered lectures on the subject defined behaviorism as a natural science that takes the whole field of human adjustment as its own. It is the business of behaviorist psychology to predict and control human activity. The field has as its aim to be able given the stimulus to predict the response or seeing the reaction to know the stimulus that produced it. Watson argued that psychology is as good as its observations: what the organism does or says in the general environment. Watson identified laws of learning including frequency and recency. Kimble makes it perfectly clear that Watson's behaviorism while deeply indebted to Ivan Pavlov went beyond the Russian master in his treatment of cognition language and emotion. It becomes clear that Behaviorism is anything but the reductionist caricature it is often made out to be in the critical literature. For that reason alone the work merits a wide reading. Behaviorism as was typical of the psychology of the time offered a wide array of applications all of which can be said to fall on the enlightened side of the ledger. At a time of mixed messages Watson argued against child beating and abuse for patterns of enlightened techniques of factory management and for curing the sick and isolating the small cadre of criminals not subject to correction. And anticipating Thomas Szasz he argued against a doctrine of strictly mental diseases and for a close scrutiny of behavioral illness and disturbances. Kimble's brilliant introduction to Watson ends with a challenge to subjectivism to provide evidence that Watson's behaviorism cannot explain human actions without introspective notions of the mind. This genuine classic of social science hi our century remains relevant not just for the conduct of psychological research but for studies in the philosophy of science and the sociology of knowledge.

Collective Reflexology The Complete Edition

Vladimir Mikhailovitch Bekhterev was a pioneering Russian neurologist psychiatrist and psychologist. A highly esteemed rival of Ivan Pavlov his achievements in the areas of personality clinical psychology and political and social psychology were recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Publication of the complete text of Collective Reflexology brings to the English-speaking world this brilliant scientist's final theoretical statements on how reflexological principles which he had been developing over a quarter century can be extended far beyond analysis of the individual personality. Bekhterev's work grows out of his interest in group psychology and suggestion. This concept of the reflex is much broader than Pavlov's. It is applicable to every variety of life. Bekhterev compared his own analyses to those of other European thinkers such as Comte LeBon and Sorokin. Such analyses strained against the official Marxist-Leninist doctrines of the era. Bekhterev died in 1927 allegedly of poisoning by Stalin's henchman. As with many scientists during the Soviet era his legacy was suppressed. In the normal course of events his name would have been as well known as that of Freud Pavlov or more lately B. F. Skinner. This first publication of Bekhterev's great work in English fills a void in the fields of psychology sociology and the history of science. V. M. Bekhterev was director of the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg and founded there its Psychoneurological Institute. Among his many books are Suggestion: Its Role in Social Life (available from Transaction) and The Subject Matter and Goals of Social Psychology. Lloyd H. Strickland is professor of psychology at Carleton University. He is the author of numerous journal articles and editor of Directions in Soviet Social Psychology and Soviet and Western Perspectives in Social Psychology. Bekhterev (1857-1927) is a formidable figure and his work continues to deserve careful study. Canadian Psychology | Collective Reflexology The Complete Edition
