Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Cognitive Narratives Thematics proposes a new way in which narrative works organise their thematic material. It rehabilitates the study of what books are about by providing a cognitive narrative thematic model (CNT). Part I presents CNT by combining different approaches to narrative such as evolutionary theory semiotics possible worlds theory or rhetorical criticism. Part II applies CNT to a variety of well-known narratives in different modalities such as Robert Browning’s My Last Duchess Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are Frank Miller’s 300 or Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. It also considers literary histories and digital humanities. Daniel Candel shows that CNT deserves greater attention and that thematics generates its own forms and adds to the aesthetic pleasure of the text. Candel illustrates that CNT improves the established interpretations of the narrative works it studies. This innovative study reveals how CNT offers readers a deeper understanding and how readers and critics are often using CNT intuitively without being aware of it. It is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of narrative theory. | Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Iranian Immigration to Israel History and Voices in the Shadow of Kings

Iranian Immigration to Israel History and Voices in the Shadow of Kings

Exploring the fascinating history behind Iranian-Jewish immigration to Israel this book offers a rare and untold history of one of Israel’s Middle Eastern Jewish populations. Over the 20th century thousands among Iran’s Jewish community left their ancestral homes and immigrated to the Jewish State while thousands of others remained in Iran even after the birth of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Using firsthand narratives the evolution of Zionist activities and recruitment in Iran over the last century is covered alongside an Iranian-Jewish population that unlike other Middle Eastern Jewish communities did not ultimately arrive in the Holy Land as a majority of their community. For those that did arrive (or make aliyah) the Israeli nation-building process had unique ramifications. The integrative process and current status of the Iranian community in Israel is also examined providing an intimate picture of Iranian life in Israel nearly 75 years after Israel’s establishment. A natural addition to any collection on Jewish or Israeli history and essential reading for a full understanding of Iran–Israel relations enthusiasts of Israeli nation-building and affairs as well as Iranian history demographics and politics will find this book invaluable. | Iranian Immigration to Israel History and Voices in the Shadow of Kings

The Long Shadow of the Border Migrants Brokers and European Border Governance in Africa

The Long Shadow of the Border Migrants Brokers and European Border Governance in Africa

This book delves beyond the spectacular images of African migrants struggling to scale border fences or cross the Mediterranean in unseaworthy rubber dinghies by unpacking the policies and emerging practices that shape contemporary border governance in the expanding EU–African borderlands. For decades Africa has been the scene of a wide range of European interventions aimed at restraining irregularised migration to Europe creating an accelerated moment of control and confinement. Today the externalisation of Europe’s borders into Africa encompasses agreements on the return of migrants securitised border operations and projects under the EU’s Emergency Trust Fund for Africa. At a time when safe and legal mobility is limited and the human social and political conditions of African migrants are severely challenged this book emphasises how European efforts are both assisted but also resisted by local actors with agendas of their own. Based on ethnographic fieldwork the different contributions vividly portray how African lives continue to be shaped by Europe’s desire to contain and govern human mobility and how dominant spatial geopolitics are contested on various levels. This book will be of particular value to students and researchers interested in African studies International Politics Border Governance Anthropology Human Geography and Global Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Geopolitics. | The Long Shadow of the Border Migrants Brokers and European Border Governance in Africa

A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan In the Shadow of the Buddhas

A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan In the Shadow of the Buddhas

A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan investigates the politics of cultural heritage preservation in Afghanistan between 2008 and 2015. Based on several periods of ethnographic fieldwork and the author’s direct employment on several internationally-sponsored heritage projects this book studies the new and complex intersections between cultural heritage and politics in Afghanistan. Wyndham argues that a particular configuration of heritage and politics has emerged after the destruction of the Buddhas at Bamyan and demonstrates how the characteristics of this ‘post-Bamyan’ heritage paradigm are revealed through a number of case studies of internationally sponsored heritage work. These case studies reveal how politics and heritage are currently configured across a diverse range of governments state and non-state actors NGOs individuals and forms of expertise—and why such intersections matter. The book responds to a call from across the discipline of Heritage Studies to look more closely at the relationships between heritage power and politics. A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan provides a fascinating case study on the intersection of heritage and politics that will be of interest to students and scholars of heritage as well as to professionals working on heritage preservation - both within and outside of government. | A New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan In the Shadow of the Buddhas

In the Shadow of Transitional Justice Cross-national Perspectives on the Transformative Potential of Remembrance

In the Shadow of Transitional Justice Cross-national Perspectives on the Transformative Potential of Remembrance

This volume bridges two different research fields and the current debates within them. On the one hand the transitional justice literature has been shaken by powerful calls to make the doctrine and practice of justice more transformative. On the other hand collective memory studies now tend to look more closely at meaningful silences to make sense of what nations leave out when they remember their pasts. The book extends the scope of this heuristic approach to the different mechanisms that come under the umbrella of transitional justice including legal prosecution truth-seeking and reparations alongside memorialisation. The 15 chapters included in the volume written by expert scholars from diverse disciplinary and societal backgrounds explore a range of practices intended to deal with the past and how making the invisible visible again can make transitional justice - or indeed any societal engagement with the past - more transformative. Seeking to combine contextual depth and comparative width the book features two key case analyses - South Africa and Sri Lanka - alongside discussions of multiple cases including such emblematic sites as Rwanda and Argentina but also sites better known for resisting than for embracing international norms of transitional justice such as Turkey or Côte d’Ivoire. The different contributions grouped in themed sections progressively explore the issues actors and resources that are typically forgotten when societies celebrate their pasts rather than mourning their losses and in doing so open new possibilities to build more inclusive processes for addressing the present consequences of past injustice. | In the Shadow of Transitional Justice Cross-national Perspectives on the Transformative Potential of Remembrance

Responsible Finance and Digitalization Implications and Developments

Responsible Finance and Digitalization Implications and Developments

The aftermath of the 2008 crisis has substantially increased the regulation of banks and insurance companies and curtailed their risk taking which has shifted much of the risk to their clients: firms and consumers. At the same time digitalization has encouraged the entry of new firms combining finance and technological innovation a phenomenon known as FinTech. The emergence of non-bank financial entities has contributed to the fragmentation of financial services and also opened up new markets. Furthermore the growing emphasis on corporate social responsibility has made it increasingly important for financial organizations to care about their public image. Drawing together these diverse strands this book examines how the financial sector is evolving and how the existing actors are adapting to the institutional change and to the challenges from new actors and competitors. It also addresses the issue of how financial organizations are providing fixes to the challenges at the systemic level and how a healthier more diverse and socially responsible financial sector is beneficial to the operations of the market economy as a whole. While there are books that address each of these issues and also books that look at organizational diversity there are few that investigate their interconnectedness. Responsible Finance and Digitalization offers a topical overview of the changes that are taking place in the financial sector and how the financial sector itself can contribute to solving global challenges. It equips both students (at MBA and other levels) and practitioners with analytical tools to reflect on this change and to take appropriate action to ensure that their organization can successfully navigate it and create value. | Responsible Finance and Digitalization Implications and Developments

Engenderings Constructions of Knowledge Authority and Privilege

Engenderings Constructions of Knowledge Authority and Privilege

Naomi Scheman argues that the concerns of philosophy emerge not from the universal human condition but from conditions of privilege. Her books represent a powerful challenge to the notion that gender makes no difference in the construction of philosophical reasoning. At the same time it criticizes the narrow focus of most feminist theorizing and calls for a more inclusive form of inquiry. | Engenderings Constructions of Knowledge Authority and Privilege

Planning Chicago

Planning Chicago

In this volume the authors tell the real stories of the planners politicians and everyday people who shaped contemporary Chicago starting in 1958 early in the Richard J. Daley era. Over the ensuing decades planning did much to develop the Loop protect Chicago’s famous lakefront and encourage industrial growth and neighborhood development in the face of national trends that savaged other cities. But planning also failed some of Chicago’s communities and did too little for others. The Second City is no longer defined by its past and its myths but by the nature of its emerging postindustrial future. This volume looks beyond Burnham’s giant shadow to see the sprawl and scramble of a city always on the make. This isn’t the way other history books tell the story. But it’s the Chicago way. | Planning Chicago

Demand and Supply

Demand and Supply

First published in 1971 Demand and Supply is an introduction to the economics of resource allocation often known as micro-economics. Ralph Turvey examines how the economy really works and does not just give the economists’ textbook version which oversimplifies technology and exaggerates the importance of prices in adjusting supply and demand. Instead of offering theoretical diagrams and imaginary examples he refrains from expounding those ideas that cannot be simply demonstrated or applied. But he includes sections on retail margins urban land values and the value of time – topics rarely dealt with in beginner’s books. Some examples of the examples are: university teachers’ pay; cotton spinning costs; pricing of tin cans; demand for farm tractors; newspaper economics; competition in the bus industry. This is the kind of economics used in practice and rests on down to earth fact finding. This book will be useful for both general readers and A- level and first year university students.

Print and the Celtic Languages Publishing and Reading in Irish Welsh Gaelic and Breton 1700–1900

Print and the Celtic Languages Publishing and Reading in Irish Welsh Gaelic and Breton 1700–1900

This book is a study of the print cultures of the four principal Celtic languages — Irish Welsh Gaelic and Breton — in the crucial period between 1700 and 1900. Over the past four centuries the Celtic languages of northwest Europe have followed contrasting paths of maintenance and decline. This was despite their common lack of official recognition and use and their common distance from the centres of political power. This volume analyses publishing circulation and reading in the four languages particularly at a popular level showing the different levels of overall activity as well as the distinctions in the types of printed texts between regions. The approach is a broad one considering all printed books down to very small cheap formats. It explores the interactions between the different regions and the continuation of print culture within diasporic communities. This volume will appeal to book historians to scholars of the four languages and their literature and to students of Celtic studies. | Print and the Celtic Languages Publishing and Reading in Irish Welsh Gaelic and Breton 1700–1900
