Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Lying in the Dark Room: Architectures of British Maternity returns to and reflects on the spatial and architectural experience of childbirth through both a critical history of maternity spaces and a creative exploration of those we use today. Where conventional architectural histories objectify buildings (in parallel with the objectification of the maternal body) the book—in the mode of creative practice research—presents a creative-critical autotheory of the architecture of lying-in. It uses feminist subjective modes of thinking that travel across disciplines registers and arguments. The book assesses the transformation of maternity spaces—from the female bedchamber of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century marital homes to the lying-in hospitals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries purposely built by man-midwives to the late twentieth-century spaces of home and the modern hospital maternity wing—and the parallel shifts in maternal practices. The spaces are not treated as mute or neutral backdrops to maternal history but as a series of vital entangled atmospheres materials practices and objects that are produced by and in turn produce particular social and political conditions gendered structures and experiences. Moving across spaces systems protagonists and their subjectivities the book shows how hospital design and protocol altered ordinary birth at home and continues to shape maternal spatial experience today. As such it will be of interest to a wide range of readers from architectural historians theoreticians designers and students to medical humanities historians to English Literature humanities and material studies scholars as well as those interested in creative-critical writing. | Lying in the Dark Room Architectures of British Maternity

Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self The Production of Dwellspace

Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self The Production of Dwellspace

In Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self Les Roberts extends his earlier work on spatial anthropology to consider questions of time spaciousness and the phenomenology of self. Across the book’s four main chapters – which range from David Bowie’s long-standing interest in Buddhism to street photography of 1980s Liverpool to the ambient soundscapes of Derek Jarman’s Blue or to the slow contemplative cinema of Tsai Ming-Liang – Roberts lays the groundwork for the concept of ‘dwellspace’ as a means by which to unpick the shifting spatial temporal and experiential modalities of everyday mediascapes. Understood as a particular disposition towards time Roberts’s foray into dwellspace proceeds from a Pascalian reflection on the self/non-self in which being content in an empty room vies with the demands of having content in an empty room. Taking the idea of posthuman Buddhism as a heuristic lens Roberts sets in motion a number of interrelated lines of enquiry that prompt renewed focus on questions of boredom distraction and reverie and cast into sharper relief the psychosocial and creative affordances of ambience spaciousness and slowness. The book argues that the colonisation of ‘empty time’ by 24/7 digital capitalism has gone hand-in-hand with the growth of the corporate mindfulness industry and with it the co-option commodification and digitisation of dwellspace. Posthuman Buddhism is thus in part an exploration of the dialectics of dwellspace that orbits around a creative self-praxis rooted in the negation and dissolution of the self one of the foundational cornerstones of Buddhist theory and practice. | Posthuman Buddhism and the Digital Self The Production of Dwellspace

Jury and the Defense of Insanity

Jury and the Defense of Insanity

Thirty years after it was first published the issues raised in The Jury and the Defense of Insanity remain pertinent. Rita James Simon examines how motivated and competent juries are how well jurors understand and follow judges' instructions their understand-ing of expert testimony and the extent to which their own backgrounds and experiences influence their decisions. Simon provides a rare opportunity to observe how jurors go about the process of deliberating and reaching a verdict by following them into the jury room and recording their deliberations. This pathbreaking study of jury room behavior provides compelling evidence of the effectiveness of our trial by jury system. The Jury and the Defense of Insanity was the product of an experimental study con-ducted as part of the University of Chicago Jury Project. Over 1 000 jurors were chosen to participate not as volunteers but as part of their regular jury duty in two experimental trials one on a charge of housebreaking the other of incest. In each the insanity de-fense was raised. Court judges instructed the jurors to consider the recorded trials they were about to hear with all the care and seriousness they would give to a real criminal prosecution and the taped recordings of their deliberations make it clear that they did just that. These recordings along with responses to detailed questionnaires yielded significant data equally applicable to civil as to criminal cases. We learn their reactions to their fellow jurors; personal evaluations of the quality and effectiveness of delibera-tions; the degree to which religion sex social status education and like factors affect participation in and influence on the course of the deliberation; and the recounting of and reliance upon personal experience in seeking to reach a verdict among other in-sights furnished by this study. This is an exact record not a description or recollected account of the struggle of a jury to weigh evidence and achieve a just verdict. For lawyers whose job it is to win civil and criminal cases for behavioral scientists who study male and female reactions in their cultural environment to the circumstances that confront them and to all who are interested in how people behave and why in a dramatic socially significant situation this is a fascinating and revealing book.

Recording Studio Design

Recording Studio Design

Recording Studio Design Fourth Edition explains the key principles of successful studio design and construction using straightforward language and the use of practical examples appreciated by readers of previous editions. Updated to reflect new industry standards this fourth edition addresses improvements in cinema sound with specific attention paid to B-chain electroacoustic response and calibration. Using over 50 years’ experience author Philip Newell provides detail on the practical aspects of recording in various environments not only exploring the complex issues relating to the acoustics but also providing real-world solutions. While the book contains detailed discussions about performing rooms control rooms and mobile studios concepts of the infrastructures are also discussed because no studio can perform optimally unless the technical and human requirements are adequately provided for. In this new edition sound for cinema provides a platform for highlighting many wider electroacoustic topics in a way that is relatively easy to visualise. The way in which sound and vision interact is an important aspect of many modern multimedia formats. The new edition includes: A new Chapter 22 that will thoroughly reflect recently published SMPTE investigations which will drastically impact standards for cinema sound; The inclusion of new academic research and its practical applications; An entire new illustrated chapter on room construction principles; and The consolidation of ideas which were only emerging when the earlier editions were published.

Coping with Migrants and Refugees Multilevel Governance across the EU

Coping with Migrants and Refugees Multilevel Governance across the EU

This book provides a comparative overview of asylum seekers’ reception throughout Europe by adopting a theoretical framework based on an analytical approach to the notion of multilevel governance (MLG). It challenges the tendency of the MLG literature to overlook political controversies and conflicts and questions the assumption that it represents the best policymaking arrangement for promoting policy convergence. In doing so it explores the functioning of the reception component of the Common European Asylum System in centralised states and federal/regional states and analyses its implementation at both national and local levels. The book reveals the heterogeneous development of reception policies not only across Member States but also within each country where solutions adopted at the local level generally diverge substantially. Furthermore the overall centralisation of policy-making on reception regardless the institutional structure seems to leave little room for MLG arrangements tailored to specific localities and triggers tensions between central governments and local authorities. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of migration and asylum studies immigration (multilevel) global governance and more broadly to comparative politics European studies/politics and public policy.

Ethnography and the Evocative World of Policing

Ethnography and the Evocative World of Policing

This book demonstrates the unique contribution police ethnographies make to our understanding of policing cultures and practices in a variety of international settings. It features contemporary examples of police ethnographies that demonstrate the continuing value of ethnographic work to our understanding of policing. The first section of the book focuses on the police and Anglo-American policing. The second section is international in scope and seeks to enrich our understandings of policing ‘beyond’ the police. Chapters explore police interactions during a stop and search and at a carnival. They peer behind the scenes at the control room and at the use of intelligence. We listen in to the experiences of new recruits and the stories told in canteens. They also take us into the world of private security agencies to Kenya and to Vietnam. The book explores the position of ethnographers asking: whether we do too much with rather than on the police; and whether our work reveals more about us as academics than them as officers. Together they are revealing of a changing policing landscape. Ethnography and the Evocative World of Policing demonstrates the unique value of ethnographic work in the fields of policing studies and criminology. It will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of policing criminology sociology law and research methods. The chapters in this book were originally published in two special issues of Policing and Society.

Transitional Justice in Aparadigmatic Contexts Accountability Recognition and Disruption

Transitional Justice in Aparadigmatic Contexts Accountability Recognition and Disruption

This book explores the practical and theoretical opportunities as well as the challenges raised by the expansion of transitional justice into new and ‘aparadigmatic’ cases. The book defines transitional justice as the pursuit of accountability recognition and/or disruption and applies an actor-centric analysis focusing on justice actors’ intentions of and responses to transitional justice. It offers a typology of different transitional justice contexts ranging from societies experiencing ongoing conflict to consolidated democracies and includes chapters from all types of aparadigmatic contexts. This covers transitional justice in states with contested political authority shared political authority and consolidated political authority. The transitional justice initiatives explored by the wide range of contributors are those of Afghanistan Belgium France Greenland/Denmark Libya Syria Turkey/Kurdistan UK/Iraq US and Yemen. Through these aparadigmatic case studies the book develops a new framework that appropriate to its expanding reach allows us to understand the practice of transitional justice in a more context-sensitive bottom-up and actor-oriented way which leaves room for the complexity and messiness of interventions on the ground. The book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in the broad field of transitional justice as represented in law criminology politics conflict studies and human rights.

Neoliberalism and Education

Neoliberalism and Education

The ongoing neoliberalisation of education is complex varied and relentless. It involves increasingly diverse material and structural changes to curriculum pedagogy and assessment and at the same time transforms how we are made up as educational subjects. It rearticulates what it means to be educated. This collection brings together creative and unanticipated examples of the adoption and adaptation of neoliberal practice both collective and individual. These examples not only demonstrate the insidiousness of neoliberal reform but also suggest that its trajectory is uncertain and unfixed. The intention is that these examples might embolden education scholars and practitioners to think differently about education. This book is shaped by a reading of the processes of the neoliberalisation of education as a dispositif. This heterogeneous dispositif encompasses and spans an uneven miscellaneous and evolving network of educational regimes of knowledge practice and subjectivities as well as artifacts and non-human actants. The papers included address different aspects or points within this complex arrangement at different levels and in different sectors of education. They have been chosen to illustrate the evolving and multi-faceted penetration of market thinking and practice in education and also points of deflection and dissent. They also offer coverage of some of the uneven geography of neoliberalisation. They consider the potential for the production of subjectivities to provide the ‘wriggle’ room that can exist to refuse or subvert neoliberal identities. This book will have appeal across the social sciences and specifically to those working in education. The chapters included here were originally published in various Taylor & Francis journals. | Neoliberalism and Education

Partial Justice Women Prisons and Social Control

Partial Justice Women Prisons and Social Control

Contemporary Research on crime prisons and social control has largely ignored women. Partial Justice the only full-scale study of the origins and development of women's prisons in the United States traces their evolution from the late eighteenth century to the present day. It shows that the character of penal treatment was involved in the very definition of womanhood for incarcerated women a definition that varied by race and social class. Rafter traces the evolution of women's prisons showing that it followed two markedly different models. Custodial institutions for women literally grew out of men's penitentiaries starting from a separate room for women. Eventually women were housed in their own separate facilities–a development that ironically inaugurated a continuing history of inmate neglect. Then later in the nineteenth century women convicted of milder offenses such as morals charges were placed into a new kind of institution. The reformatory was a result of middle-class reform movements and it attempted to rehabilitate to a degree unknown in men's prisons. Tracing regional and racial variations in these two branches of institutions over time Rafter finds that the criminal justice system has historically meted out partial justice to female inmates. Women have benefited in neither case. Partial Justice draws in first-hand accounts legislative documents reports by investigatory commissions and most importantly the records of over 4 600 female prisoners taken from the original registers of five institutions. This second edition includes two new chapters that bring the story into the present day and discusses measures now being used to challenge the partial justice women have historically experienced. | Partial Justice Women Prisons and Social Control
