Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle Kingdom for centuries. Today China’s take on diversity is too easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous – as if China was not legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in education which have often been dominated by ‘Western’ voices by problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu (‘ethnic’) education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion to other forms of diversity education (multicultural intercultural transcultural cross-cultural global education). Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and one-size-fits all recipe they argue that the lessons learnt from researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also help students researchers educators and decision-makers unthink and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book introduces the complexity contradictions and benefits of Minzu while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it should be read with the same. | Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Digital Access and Museums as Platforms

Digital Access and Museums as Platforms

Digital Access and Museums as Platforms draws on interviews with museum practitioners along with a range of case studies from public and private institutions in order to investigate the tensions and benefits involved in making cultural collections available using digital technologies. Taking a media and critical studies approach to the museum and raising questions about the role of privately owned search engines in facilitating museum experiences the book questions who collects what for whom objects are collected and what purpose these objects and collections serve. Connecting fieldwork undertaken in Australia and New Zealand with the global practices of technology companies Wilson-Barnao brings attention to an emerging new model of digital ownership and moderation. Considering the synergising of these institutions with media systems which are now playing a more prominent role in facilitating access to culture the book also explores the motivations of different cultural workers for constructing the museum as a mediatised location. Digital Access and Museums as Platforms will be of interest to academics and students working in the fields of museum studies art culture media studies and digital humanities. Weighing in on conversations about how technologies are being incorporated into museums the book should also be useful to practitioners working in museums and galleries around the world.

The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking Feminist Thought as Historical Present

The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking Feminist Thought as Historical Present

Within much contemporary feminist theory there is a tendency to forget or ignore its own historicity and consider itself as primarily oriented towards the present. This book explores the historical roots of some of feminism’s central concepts and debates examining the philosophical conditions for feminist thought and taking as its point of departure the dynamic relationship between feminist thought and the history of philosophy. With close attention to the genealogy of key concepts such as equality sex/gender and difference alongside discussions of contemporary gender equality policy and contextual understandings of central figures including Wollstonecraft Beauvoir and Irigaray The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking provides an analysis of feminism from its origins in the Early Modern period to its contemporary post-modern forms. Shedding light on feminism as a product of Modernity and establishing it as part of the canon of European intellectual development this book thus corrects the picture of feminism as a phenomenon that lacks historical continuity revealing a history characterized by breaks setbacks and forgetting in which the forgetting itself forms part of a rich genealogy. As such it will be of interest to philosophers sociologists political theorists and intellectual historians alike. | The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking Feminist Thought as Historical Present

Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

This book provides an overview of professional musicians working within the healthcare system and explores programs that bring music into the environment of the hospital. Far from being onstage musicians in the hospital provide musical engagement for patients and healthcare providers focused on life-and-death issues. Music in healthcare offers a new and growing area for musical careers distinct from the field of music therapy in which music is engaged to advance defined clinical goals. Rather this volume considers what happens when musicians interact with the clinical environment as artists and how musical careers and artistic practices can develop through work in a hospital setting. It outlines the specialized skills and training required to navigate safely and effectively within the healthcare context. The contributors draw on their experiences with collaborations between the performing arts and medicine at Boston University/Boston Medical Center University of Florida/UF Health Shands Hospital and the Peabody Institute/Johns Hopkins Medicine. These experiences as well as the experiences of artists spotlighted throughout the volume offer stories of thriving artistic practices and collaborations that outline a new field for tomorrow's musical artists. | Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Public sector management and accounting scholarship has witnessed enormous change over the last four decades. Several reform paradigms have become well-known and disseminated worldwide under acronyms such as NPM – New Public Management NPG – New Public Governance and PV – Public Value. At the start of a new decade questions arise as to what will come next. This book reviews and investigates the key components of NPM NPM and PV and discusses what lies beyond these acronyms. It analyses the claimed benefits and drawbacks of each of the three paradigms using reviews of the pertinent literature as well as a raft of case studies. The integration of theoretical and empirical insights contributes to a better understanding of what has changed and what has remained the same over the years. Specifically this book stands out in its use of performance measurement and budgetary lenses to explore the multidimensional processes of reform and change in the public sector. By focusing on the crucially important transformations that have occurred in the field reviewing several paradigms and analysing different practices from a longitudinal and comparative perspective the book will be essential in guiding students and scholars of public management and accounting. | Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? shocked audiences and critics alike with its assault on decorum. At base though the play is simply a love story: an examination of a long-wedded life filled with the hopes dreams disappointments and pain that accompany the passing of many years together. While the ethos of the play is tragicomic it is the anachronistic melodramatic secret object—the nonexistent son—that upends the audience’s sense of theatrical normalcy. The mean and vulgar bile spewed among the characters hides these elements making it feel like something entirely new. As Michael Y. Bennett reveals the play is the same emperor just wearing new clothes. In short it is straight out of the grand tradition of living room drama: Ibsen Chekhov Glaspell Hellmann O’Neill Wilder Miller Williams and Albee. | Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

The rapid development and the growing penetration of information and communication technologies (ICT) provide tremendous opportunities for a wide and cost effective application of the ideas of participative democracy and public participation in government decision and policy making. ICT can drive dramatic transformations in the quantity and quality of communication and interaction of government organizations with citizens revitalizing and strengthening the modern representative democracy which currently faces big problems of reduced citizens’ trust and involvement. This book deals with the application of these e-participation ideas in the special and ‘difficult’ and at the same time highly interesting national context of Southern Europe and the Balkans. The first chapter provides an overview of e-participation concepts and practices whilst the following chapters analyse pilot applications of e-participation concepts in eight different Southern European and Balkan countries (Spain France Italy Slovenia Serbia Albania Greece Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)). They cover both the ‘classical’ e-participation paradigm based on official e-participation spaces created operated and controlled by government organizations as well as emerging new e-participation paradigms including e-participation based on web 2. 0 social media and ‘scientific-level’ e-participation based on opening government data to the scientific community. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies. | E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

Practical Guide to IT Problem Management

Practical Guide to IT Problem Management

Some IT organisations seem to expend all their energy firefighting – dealing with incidents as they arise and fixing or patching over the breakage. In organisations like this restarting computers is seen as a standard method to resolve many issues. Perhaps the best way to identify whether an organisation understands problem management is to ask what they do after they have restarted the computer. If restarting the computer fixes the issue it is very tempting to say that the incident is over and the job is done. Problem management recognises that things do not improve if such an approach is taken. Such organisations are essentially spending their time running to stay in the same place. Written to help IT organisations move forward Practical Guide to IT Problem Management presents a combination of methodologies including understanding timelines and failure modes drill down 5 whys and divide and conquer. The book also presents an exploration of complexity theory and how automation can assist in the desire to shift left both the complexity of the problem and who can resolve it. The book emphasises that establishing the root cause of a problem is not the end of the process as the resolution options need to be evaluated and then prioritised alongside other improvements. It also explores the role of problem boards and checklists as well as the relationship between problem management and Lean thinking. This practical guide provides both a framework for tackling problems and a toolbox from which to select the right methodology once the type of problem being faced has been identified. In addition to reactive methods it presents proactive activities designed to reduce the incidence of problems or to reduce their impact and complexity should they arise. Solving problems is often a combination of common sense and methodologies which may either be learnt the hard way or may be taught. This practical guide shows how to use problem solving tools and to understand how and when to apply them while upskilling IT staff and improving IT problem solving processes.
