Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Volume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt Jessie Fauset Julia Kavanaugh George Edwards some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

The Search for the Self Volume 4: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut 1978-1981

The Search for the Self Volume 4: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut 1978-1981

The re-issuing of the four volumes of the author's writings is a major publishing event for psychoanalysts who are interested in both the theoretical and the therapeutic aspects of psychoanalysis. These volumes contain the author's pre-self psychology essays as well as those he wrote in order to continue to expand on his groundbreaking ideas which he presented in The Analysis of the Self; the Restoration of the Self; and in How Does Analysis Cure? These volumes of The Search for the Self permit the reader to understand not only the above three basic texts of psychoanalytic self psychology more profoundly but also to appreciate Kohut's sustained openness to further changes - to dare to present his self psychology as in continued flux influenced by newly emerging empirical data of actual clinical practice. The current re-issue of the four volumes of The Search for the Self would assure that the younger generation of psychoanalysts would be exposed to a clinical theory that could contribute greatly to solving the therapeutic dilemmas facing psychoanalysis today. This is volume four. | The Search for the Self Volume 4: Selected Writings of Heinz Kohut 1978-1981

Women Families and the British Army 1700–1880 Vol 4

Women Families and the British Army 1700–1880 Vol 4

This series concentrates on women and the soldiers in the ranks whose lives they shared assembling a wide body of evidence of their romantic entanglements and domestic concerns. The new military history of recent decades has demanded a broadening of the source base beyond elite accounts or those that concentrate solely on battlefield experiences. Armies did not operate in isolation and men’s family ties influenced the course of events in a variety of ways. Campfollowing women and children occupied a liminal space in campaign life. Those who travelled on the strength of the army received rations in return for providing services such as laundry and nursing but they could also be grouped with prostitutes and condemned as a ‘burden’ by officers. Parents wives and offspring left behind at home remained in soldiers’ thoughts despite an army culture aimed at replacing kin with regimental ties. Soldiers’ families’ suffering both on the march and back in Britain attracted public attention at key points in this period as well. This series provides for the first time in one place a wide body of texts relating to common soldiers’ personal lives: the women with whom they became involved their children and the families who cared for them. It brings hitherto unpublished material into print for the first time and resurrects accounts that have not been in wide circulation since the nineteenth century. The collection combines the observations of officers government officials and others with memoirs and letters from men in the ranks and from the women themselves. It draws extensively on press accounts especially in the nineteenth century. It also demonstrates the value of using literary depictions alongside the letters diaries memoirs and war office papers that form the traditional source base of military historians. This fourth volume covers the period from the Treaty of Paris to the Declaration of War in 1854. | Women Families and the British Army 1700–1880 Vol 4

The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

This book commemorates a place and a time in American law teaching but more importantly an outlook: the common law tradition. That outlook was empirical and tolerant. These values were carried into expression by a group of people who were not part of a cult or faction nor ruled by the herd instinct. Now in paperback The Common Law Tradition is a collective portrait of five scholars who epitomize the tradition. The focus is Chicago in the 1960s. The five figures considered-Edward H. Levi Harry Kalven Jr. Karl Llewellyn Philip Kurland and Kenneth Culp Davis-did much to broaden the perspectives of the legal academy. Levi made use of sociology economics and comparative law. Kalven collaborated with sociologists on the Jury Project and with economists on tax law and auto compensation plans. Llewellyn's commitment to empirical research underpinned his work on the Uniform Commercial Code. Kurland's approach to constitutional law was highlighted by his insistence on the relevance of legal history. Davis was an energetic comparativist in his work on administrative law. What distinguished these Chicagoans is that their work was practical and rooted in the law and hence yielded concrete applications. The group's diversity the tolerant atmosphere in which they taught and wrote and the attachment of its individual members to empirical approaches differentiate them from today's legal scholars and make their ideas of continuing importance. | The Common Law Tradition A Collective Portrait of Five Legal Scholars

Social Changes Crime and Police International Conference June 1– 4 1992 Budapest Hungary

Social Changes Crime and Police International Conference June 1– 4 1992 Budapest Hungary

Originally published in 1995 Social Changes Crime and the Police studies the relationship of social change and crime the role of the police amidst changing social conditions and the reaction of society and the state to the criminal problem. It examines the essential differences and challenges which confronted countries in Western and Eastern Europe after the collapse of the socialist system. In recent years many areas of Europe had experienced a period of rapid technological development which had changed economic and cultural structures creating temporary instability. Within a relatively short period of time traditional values and beliefs had been undermined. National boundaries and geographical differences had gradually lost their significance and the opening of frontiers had created easier conditions for crime. The nature of crime itself had been transformed by the increasingly close relationships between countries. While many Eastern European countries sought to undo the authoritarian legacies of the socialist period Western Europe faced new challenges to its urban order. The editors and the contributors also examine the kinds of new policing concepts which may be formulated and the new practices which may develop during the next few decades. Governments must determine the role of the police and the law in accordance with public demands for powerful policing combined with consideration of the individual’s rights thus maintaining the vital balance between personal freedom and social peace. | Social Changes Crime and Police International Conference June 1– 4 1992 Budapest Hungary

Lean Construction 4.0 Driving a Digital Revolution of Production Management in the AEC Industry

Lean Construction 4.0 Driving a Digital Revolution of Production Management in the AEC Industry

This book introduces and develops the novel concept of Lean Construction 4. 0. The capability of Lean Construction to effectively adapt the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry to this new era of digital transformation requires a reconceptualization of the triad people-processes-technology as a foundation for the theoretical and practical framework of Lean Construction. Therefore a shift towards Lean Construction 4. 0 is required. Lean Construction 4. 0 is a new systems-wide thinking approach where synergies and overlaps between Lean Construction and digital/smart technologies go far beyond BIM to reshape the way we design manage and operate capital projects in the modern age of automation. This pioneering new book brings together the views of world experts at the interface of Lean Construction and digital/smart technologies in order to channel research efforts to introduce and discuss current research and practice challenges and drivers and future perspectives of Lean Construction 4. 0. It is not the aim of the book to keep adding digits to the term ‘Lean Construction’ to ‘catch up’ with the industry revolutions as they go on. Instead after reading this book it will be undeniable for readers that the triad process-people-technology as proposed by Lean Construction 4. 0 is required to achieve an effective long-lasting digital transformation of the AEC industry. Thus the aim of Lean Construction 4. 0 is better explained by what it evokes: a future vision of construction systems comprising people processes and technology using Industry 4. 0/5. 0 as a basis for technological innovation in the AEC industry coupled with Lean Construction theory and practice as a jettison for improved processes and systems integration. The Lean Construction 4. 0 concept coined and developed in this edited book is unique and the chapters provide practitioners and academics with a provocative reflection on the theoretical and practical aspects that shape the Lean Construction 4. 0 concept. More importantly Lean Construction 4. 0 proposes a rationale for the AEC industry not only to survive but to thrive! | Lean Construction 4. 0 Driving a Digital Revolution of Production Management in the AEC Industry

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

This collection explores the links between multimodality and multilingualism charting the interplay between languages channels and forms of communication in multilingual written texts from historical manuscripts through to the new media of today and the non-verbal associations they evoke. The volume argues that features of written texts such as graphics layout boundary marking and typography are inseparable from verbal content. Taken together the chapters adopt a systematic historical perspective to investigate this interplay over time and highlight the ways in which the two disciplines might further inform one another in the future as new technologies emerge. The first half of the volume considers texts where semiotic resources are the sites of modes where multiple linguistic codes interact on the page and generate extralinguistic associations through visual features and spatial organizaisation. The second half of the book looks at texts where this interface occurs not in the text but rather in the cultural practices involved in social materiality and text transmission. Enhancing our understandings of multimodal resources in both historical and contemporary communication this book will be of interest to scholars in multimodality multilingualism historical communication discourse analysis and cultural studies. Chapters 1 4 and 5 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www. routledge. com.

Subaltern Political Subjectivities and Practices in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Between Loyalty and Resistance

Subaltern Political Subjectivities and Practices in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries Between Loyalty and Resistance

Approaching subalternity from a broad Gramscian angle this edited collection contributes to the understanding of popular politics in parliamentary autocratic and colonial contexts. The book explores individual stories and micro-histories of complaints requests rumors and other mediated and unmediated interactions between political institutions and the subjects they claimed to govern or represent. It challenges the approaches of institutionally oriented political historiography and its attention to the top-down construction of political representation citizenship and power and powerlessness. The book discusses more subtle forms of agency and the spaces these pertained to which could indicate contestation or resistance taking place within a framework of loyalty towards the existing political institutions. This research does not only bridge the divide between political and apolitical frames of reference but it also provides a new perspective on the dichotomy between loyalty and resistance by acknowledging the nuances of these seemingly opposing stances. With case studies from Europe North Africa South America and India the chapters cover political communication in proto-democratic democratic imperial and authoritarian contexts. This volume is crucial reading for undergraduates postgraduates and scholars in history and social sciences who are interested in political culture and the mechanisms of negotiating local national or imperial identities.

Stalin Era Intellectuals Culture and Stalinism

Stalin Era Intellectuals Culture and Stalinism

This book focuses on the extent to which Soviet scholars and cultural theoreticians were able to act autonomously during the Stalin era. The authors question how we should consider certain intellectual achievements which took place despite the pressure of Stalinism and how best to recognise and describe such achievements. The chapters in this book offer suggestions for new interpretations on Soviet philosophy of science and humanities linguistics philosophy musicology literature and mathematics from the point of view of general cultural theory. In this way they challenge the received image of the Stalin-era humanities which reduces them into mere propaganda. Intended for scholars of Russian and Soviet studies this book will dispel many received views about the character of Stalinism and Soviet culture.
