The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative categorisations of the neighbourhood especially by the state and the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the residents’ subjective experiences of place social divisions and (dis)honour. In this way The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis analyses how social symbolical and spatial structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology urban studies and urban history with interests in social welfare. | The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

Classical Heritage and European Identities The Imagined Geographies of Danish Classicism

Classical Heritage and European Identities The Imagined Geographies of Danish Classicism

Classical Heritage and European Identities examines how the heritages of classical antiquity have been used to construct European identities and especially the concept of citizenship in Denmark from the eighteenth century to the present day. It implements a critical historiographical perspective in line with recent work on the reception of classical antiquity that has stressed the dialectic relationship between past present and future. Arguing that the continuous employment and appropriation of lassical heritages in the Danish context constitutes an interesting case of an imagined geography that is simultaneously based on both national and European identities the book shows how Denmark’s imagined geography is naturalized through very distinctive uses of classical heritages within the educational and heritage sectors.

The Passing of Temporal Well-Being

The Passing of Temporal Well-Being

The philosophical study of well-being concerns what makes lives good for their subjects. It is now standard among philosophers to distinguish between two kinds of well-being:· lifetime well-being i. e. how good a person’s life was for him or her considered as a whole and· temporal well-being i. e. how well off someone was or how they fared at a particular moment in time (momentary well-being) or over a period of time longer than a moment but shorter than a whole life say a day month year or chapter of a life (periodic well-being). Many theories have been offered of each of these kinds of well-being. A common view is that lifetime well-being is in some way constructed out of temporal well-being. This book argues that much of this literature is premised on a mistake. Lifetime well-being cannot be constructed out of temporal well-being because there is no such thing as temporal well-being. The only genuine kind of well-being is lifetime well-being. The Passing of Temporal Well-Being will prove essential reading for professional philosophers especially in moral and political philosophy. It will also be of interest to welfare economists and policy-makers who appeal to well-being

Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

This book focuses on the question of how to understand quality use of research evidence in education or what it means to use research evidence well. Internationally there are widespread efforts to increase the use of research evidence within educational policy and practice. Such efforts raise important questions about how we understand not just the quality of evidence but also the quality of its use. To date there has been wide-ranging debate about the former but very little dialogue about the latter. Based on a five-year study with schools and school systems in Australia this book sheds new light on: why clarity about quality of use is critical to educational improvement; how quality use of research evidence can be framed in education; what using research well involves and looks like in practice; what quality research use means for individuals organisations and systems; and what aspects of using research well still need to be better understood. This book will be an invaluable resource for professionals within and beyond education who want to better understand what using research evidence well means and involves and how it can be supported. | Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

The Right Way to Flourish Reconnecting to the Real World

The Right Way to Flourish Reconnecting to the Real World

In this ground-breaking book pre-eminent thought leader in the fields of sustainability and flourishing John R. Ehrenfeld critiques the concept of sustainability as it is understood today and which is coming more and more under attack as unclear and ineffective as a call for action. Building upon the recent work of cognitive scientist Iain McGilchrist who argues that the human brain’s two hemispheres present distinct different worlds this book articulates how society must replace the current foundational left-brain-based beliefs – a mechanistic world and a human driven by self interest – with new ones based on complexity and care. Flourishing should replace the lifeless metrics now being used to guide business and government as well as individuals. Until we accept that our modern belief structure is itself the barrier we will continue to be mired in an endless succession of unsolved problems. | The Right Way to Flourish Reconnecting to the Real World

The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

First published in 2002. This book explores the philosophical social and aesthetic implications of twentieth-century America's obsession with eliminating waste. Through interdisciplinary engagement with fiction and popular culture William Little traces the way this obsession finds expression in powerful social forces (e. g. the drive to consume conspicuously; the Progressive-era campaign to manage scientifically; the current demand to reduce reuse recycle) and shows how such forces are governed by an idealism that links proper treatment of waste with the promise of salvation. | The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

Leading the Way to Heaven Pastoral Care and Salvation in the Carolingian Period

Leading the Way to Heaven Pastoral Care and Salvation in the Carolingian Period

Starting from manuscripts compiled for local priests in the Carolingian period this book investigates the way in which pastoral care took shape at the local levels of society. They show what illiterate lay people learned about their religion but also what priests themselves knew. The Carolingian royal dynasty which ruled over much of Europe in the eighth and ninth century is well-known for its success in war patronage of learning and its ambitious style of rulership. A central theme in their plans for the future of their kingdom was to ensure God's everlasting support and to make sure that all inhabitants – down to the last illiterate farmer – reached eternal life in heaven. This book shows how the ideal of leading everybody to salvation was a central element of Carolingian culture. The grass-roots approach shows how early medieval religion was anything but uniform how it encompassed all spheres of daily life and how well-educated local priests did not only know how to baptise and preach but could also advise on matters concerning health legal procedure and even the future. This volume is of great use to upper-level undergraduates postgraduates and scholars interested in the ecclesiastical history of Europe in the Carolingian period. | Leading the Way to Heaven Pastoral Care and Salvation in the Carolingian Period

The History of Live Music in Britain Volume II 1968-1984 From Hyde Park to the Hacienda

To date there has been a significant gap in work on the social history of music in Britain from 1950 to the present day. The three volumes of Live Music in Britain address this gap and do so through a unique prism—that of live music. The key theme of the books is the changing nature of the live music industry in the UK focused upon popular music but including all musical genres.

Drawing on new archival research a wide range of academic and non-academic secondary sources participant observation and a series of interviews with key personnel the books have the potential to become landmark works within Popular Music Studies and broader cultural history.
