Children Nature Cities

Children Nature Cities

Why does the way we think about urban children and urban nature matter? This volume explores how dichotomies between nature/culture rural/urban and child/adult have structured our understandings about the place of children and nature in the city. By placing children and youth at the center of re-theorising the city as a socio-natural space the book illustrates how children and youth's relations to and with nature can change adultist perspectives and help create more ecologically and socially just cities. As a key contribution to children's studies the book engages and enlivens debates in urban political ecology and urban theory which have not yet treated age as an important axis of difference. With examples from ten localities the chapters in this volume ask how we can subvert both romanticized and modernist conceptualizations of nature and childhood that conflate innocence and purity with children and nature; the volume asks what happens when we re-invent urban natures with children's needs and perspectives in mind. | Children Nature Cities

Revolutionary Lives in South Asia Acts and Afterlives of Anticolonial Political Action

Revolutionary Lives in South Asia Acts and Afterlives of Anticolonial Political Action

The term ‘revolutionary’ is used liberally in histories of Indian anticolonialism but scarcely defined. Implicitly understood it functions as a signpost or a badge generously conferred in hagiographies loosely invoked in historiography and strategically deployed in contemporary political contests. It is timely then to ask the question: Who counts as a ‘revolutionary’ in South Asia? How can we read ‘the revolutionary’ in Indian political formations? And what does it really mean to be ‘revolutionary’ in turbulent late colonial times? This volume takes a biographical approach to the question by examining the life stories of a series of activists some well known who all defined themselves in explicitly revolutionary terms in the early twentieth century: V. D. Savarkar M. N. Roy Bhagat Singh J. P. Narayan and Hansraj Vohra. The authors interrogate the subversive lives of these figures tracing their polyglot influences and transnational impacts to map out the discursive travels of ‘the revolutionary’ in Indian historical and literary worlds from the early 1900s and to indicate its reverberations in the politics of the present. This book was previously published as a special issue of Postcolonial Studies. | Revolutionary Lives in South Asia Acts and Afterlives of Anticolonial Political Action

The Richard & Judy Book Club Reader Popular Texts and the Practices of Reading

The Richard & Judy Book Club Reader Popular Texts and the Practices of Reading

In January 2004 daytime television presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan launched their book club and sparked debate about the way people in Britain from the general reader to publishers to the literati thought about books and reading. The Richard & Judy Book Club Reader brings together historians of the book literature scholars and specialists in media and cultural studies to examine the effect of the club on reading practices and the publishing and promotion of books. Beginning with an analysis of the book club's history and its ongoing development in relation to other reading groups worldwide including Oprah's the editors consider issues of book marketing and genre. Further chapters explore the effects of the mass-broadcast celebrity book club on society literature and its marketing and popular culture. Contributors ask how readers discuss books judge value and make choices. The collection addresses questions of authorship authority and canon in texts connected by theme or genre including the postcolonial exotic disability and representations of the body food books and domesticity. In addition book club author Andrew Smith shares his experiences in a fascinating interview. | The Richard & Judy Book Club Reader Popular Texts and the Practices of Reading

Towards a Transtheoretical Definition of Countertransference Re-visioning the Clinician's Intersubjective Experience

Towards a Transtheoretical Definition of Countertransference Re-visioning the Clinician's Intersubjective Experience

This book explores the analyst’s countertransference experience in clinical settings from a number of theoretical perspectives in order to develop a transtheoretical definition of countertransference. Stemming from an examination of the definition of countertransference itself the author utilizes a philosophical hermeneutic approach to ask how pathological countertransference develops how analysts separate themselves from the patient’s experience and what analysts should do to prevent their countertransference response from interfering with treatment. Through the unique hermeneutic methodology philosophical themes within selected writings are explored as a way of gaining a deeper meaning and understanding of countertransference. By re-interpreting these selected writings in a new light the book develops a transtheoretical definition and approach to countertransference. As such the author offers a timely reassessment of the meaning and understanding of countertransference as it has evolved over the past century going from being considered an obstacle to treatment brought on by the analyst’s unconscious conflicts to being understood as a way of communicating and understanding the patient’s unconscious material. It also provides a unique pathway through various depth psychological therapeutic and theoretical approaches to countertransference foregrounding the significance and therapeutic value of the concept and seeking a new transtheoretical definition. This volume will appeal to scholars and researchers of psychology and mental health. | Towards a Transtheoretical Definition of Countertransference Re-visioning the Clinician's Intersubjective Experience

Godly Seed American Evangelicals Confront Birth Control 1873-1973

Godly Seed American Evangelicals Confront Birth Control 1873-1973

Interview with Allan Carlson In an ironic twist American evangelical leaders are joining mainstream acceptance of contraception. Godly Seed: American Evangelicals Confront Birth Control 1873-1973 examines how mid-twentieth-century evangelical leaders eventually followed the mainstream into a quiet embrace of contraception complemented by a brief acceptance of abortion. It places this change within the context of historic Christian teaching regarding birth control including its origins in the early church and the shift in arguments made by the Reformers of the sixteenth century. The book explores the demographic effects of this transition and asks: did the delay by American evangelicals leaders in accepting birth control have consequences?At the same time many American evangelicals are rethinking their acceptance of birth control even as a majority of the nation's Roman Catholics are rejecting their church's teaching on the practice. Raised within a religious movement that has almost uniformly condemned abortion many young evangelicals have begun to ask whether abortion can be neatly isolated from the issue of contraception. A significant number of evangelical families have over the last several decades rejected the use of birth control and returned decisions regarding family size to God. Given the growth of the evangelical movement this pioneering work will have a large-scale impact. | Godly Seed American Evangelicals Confront Birth Control 1873-1973

Everyday Energy Politics in Central Asia and the Caucasus Citizens’ Needs Entitlements and Struggles for Access

Everyday Energy Politics in Central Asia and the Caucasus Citizens’ Needs Entitlements and Struggles for Access

The perception of Central Asia and its place in the world has come to be shaped by its large oil and gas reserves. Literature on energy in the region has thus largely focused on related geopolitical issues and national policies. However little is known about citizens’ needs within this broader context of commodities that connect the energy networks of China Russia and the West. This multidisciplinary special issue brings together anthropologists economists geographers and political scientists to examine the role of all forms of energy (here: oil gas hydropower and solar power) and their products (especially electricity) in people’s daily lives throughout Central Asia and the Caucasus. The papers in this issue ask how energy is understood as an everyday resource as a necessity and a source of opportunity a challenge or even as an indicator of exclusionary practices. We enquire into the role and views of energy sector workers rural consumers and urban communities and their experiences of energy companies’ and national policies. We further examine the legacy of Soviet and more recent domestic energy policies the environmental impact of energy use as well as the political impact of citizens’ energy grievances. This book was published as a special issue of Central Asian Survey. | Everyday Energy Politics in Central Asia and the Caucasus Citizens’ Needs Entitlements and Struggles for Access

Globalization and Global Citizenship Interdisciplinary Approaches

Globalization and Global Citizenship Interdisciplinary Approaches

Globalization and Global Citizenship examines the meaning and realities of global citizenship as a manifestation of recent trends in globalization. In an interdisciplinary approach the chapters outline and analyse the most significant dimensions of global citizenship including transnational historical and cultural variations in its practice; foreign and domestic policy influences; and its impact on personal identities. The contributions ask and explore questions that are of immediate relevance for today’s scholars including: How does globalization in its current form present a new set of challenges for states non-state actors and individual citizens? How has globalization diminished expanded or complicated notions of citizenship? What rights could exist outside the context of state sovereignty? How can social accountability be imagined beyond the borders of towns cities or states? What forms of political representational legitimacy could be productive on the global level? When is it useful possible or desirable for individuals to identify with global political communities? Drawing together a broad range of contributors and cutting edge research the volume offers chapters that seek to reflect the full spectrum of approaches and topics providing a valuable resource which highlights the value of an extended and thoughtful study of the idea and practice of global citizenship within a broader consideration of the processes of globalization. It will be of great use to graduates and scholars of international relations sociology and global studies/affairs as well as globalization. | Globalization and Global Citizenship Interdisciplinary Approaches

Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban biodiversity is an increasingly popular topic among researchers. Worldwide thousands of research projects are unravelling how urbanisation impacts the biodiversity of cities and towns as well as its benefits for people and the environment through ecosystem services. Exciting scientific discoveries are made on a daily basis.

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Shaping Entrepreneurship Research: Made as Well as Found is a collection of readings designed to support entrepreneurship research. Focused on a worldview in which the future is open-ended and shapeable through human action – i. e. “made” this collection reframes entrepreneurship as a science of the artificial rather than as a natural or social science. It posits an open-ended universe for the making of human artifacts even if large swathes of nature and society are not within the control of the people making them. The book explores the notion of “made” through 25 foundational readings – classics from the history of ideas. Organized into five sections each classic is individually introduced by the editors in one of five chapters written to explain its relevance and significance for a “made” view of entrepreneurship. Readers will benefit from exposure to these classic ideas and ongoing research in a variety of areas that fall somewhat outside the line-of-sight of traditional entrepreneurship research. Both individually and collectively the readings suggest opportunities to ask new questions and develop new ways of framing entrepreneurship research that carry the discussion beyond worlds found to worlds made as well as found. The book is crafted to be valuable to three groups of scholars: young scholars with limited or no access to research infrastructure but with a desire to participate in deep conversations; young scholars with access to research infrastructure who also desire to listen-in on a different kind of conversation; and established entrepreneurship scholars who are contemplating an alternative set of foundational ideas to support their conversations in the discipline. | Shaping Entrepreneurship Research Made as Well as Found

Womankind Beyond the Stereotypes

Womankind Beyond the Stereotypes

A stereotype can be defined as a rendering by consensus. Since WOMANKIND: BEYOND THE STEREOTYPES first appeared in 1971 a turbulent decade has passed. In launching a new edition after such an interval it seems appropriate to ask how far society has moved: be-yond the stereotypes. Such motion is a critical gauge of the status of women for the power to define can also be the power to destroy; as long as the second sex is culturally prepackaged its biographical destiny will be preprogrammed and perilous. Looking backward then to 1971 it is clear that the liberation movement has affected consciousness; it has even subverted received doctrine. On the other hand the stereotypes have not disappeared; they have simply gone underground. At the explicit level one can point to new patterns; at the implicit level traditional definitions persist and continue to be both determinative and destructive. Actualizing the architecture of this book I set out to examine fixed positions related to a) stereotypes of role and b) assumptions of thought. In this edition I have added a section called Interpenetrations where I undertake to analyze in terms of current metamorphosis what has hap-pened in the private and in the public spheres. The chapter entitled Sex and Gender deals with the characteristic interweaving of present im-peratives and past prototypes in relation to biography. The chapter en-titled The Politics of Power deals with the same characteristic inter-weaving in relation to history. In a transitional period transformation proceeds unevenly: old and new are a continuing part of contemporary reality. In sum I have attempted to harmonize what is unprecedented with what is familiar and to dissect meaningful strands from the tangle of paradoxical precepts. Embarking on such venturesome thought I have been mindful of the caveat of Jacob Bronowski: If today we want to find relief from the uncertainties of a changing world in some cozy arbitrary doctrine then we had better face the likelihood that tomorrow the Dark Ages will return. | Womankind Beyond the Stereotypes
