Through the methodological lens of Critical Discourse Analysis this work illuminates the importance of teachers’ language in challenging and reinforcing portrayals that cast the diverse populations of the Middle East and Africa in the role of the other. | Representing the Middle East and Africa in Social Studies Education Teacher Discourse and Otherness

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

In clinical work an awareness of patients' subjective experiences particularly their perceptions of interpersonal relationships is indispensable. The aim of this book is to improve care and treatment planning by describing a structured approach to eliciting patients' core relationship patterns. These patterns consist of the roles and scenarios into which they repeatedly cast themselves and others with whom they interact. Maladaptive patterns in which vicious cycles and self-fulfilling prophecies of misperception misunderstanding or provocation escalate cause pain and havoc in personal relationships and can adversely affect both professionals' decisions and the overall delivery of treatment. This book shows how to use vital information that is often not made available to treatment teams in order to understand such potential pitfalls rather than succumb to them. | Consulting to Chaos An Approach to Patient-Centred Reflective Practice

Domination Migration and Non-Citizens

Domination Migration and Non-Citizens

Does the concept of domination cast new light on issues that arise in the context of migration and citizenship? If citizenship is a status that provides protection from domination understood as subjection to arbitrary interference are non-citizens - whether outside or inside the state - necessarily subject to domination by virtue of being non-citizens? Does domination provide a useful basis for considering the harms that migrants suffer? If non-domination is a value to be promoted in politics what are the implications for the treatment of migrants and resident non-citizens? This book addresses issues of migration and citizenship within the frame of freedom in terms of domination understood as being subject to the threat of arbitrary interference. Coming from a variety of perspectives the chapters examine the issues of migration controls differential resident statuses including temporary workers refugees and long-term residents and the conditions for access to citizenship in the light of these concerns.

Early Race Filmmaking in America

Early Race Filmmaking in America

The early years of the twentieth century were a formative time in the long history of struggle for black representation. More than any other medium movies reflected the tremendous changes occurring in American society. Unfortunately since they drew heavily on the nineteenth-century theatrical conventions of blackface minstrelsy and the Uncle Tom Show traditions early pictures persisted in casting blacks in demeaning and outrageous caricatures that marginalized and burlesqued them and emphasized their comic or servile behavior. By contrast race films—that is movies that were black-cast black-oriented and viewed primarily by black audiences in segregated theaters—attempted to counter the crude stereotyping and regressive representations by presenting more authentic racial portrayals. This volume examines race filmmaking from numerous perspectives. By reanimating a critical but neglected period of early cinema—the years between the turn-of-the-century and 1930 the end of the silent film era—it provides a fascinating look at the efforts of early race film pioneers and offers a vibrant portrait of race and racial representation in American film and culture. | Early Race Filmmaking in America

The Arabafrican Connection Political And Economic Realities

The Arabafrican Connection Political And Economic Realities

Between June 1967 and the end of 1973 most independent Black African states abandoned their neutral position in the Middle East conflict cut their ties with Israel and gave full support to the political aims of the Arab states. Since the beginning of 1974 however and despite attempts by the Arabs to shield their new allies from the adverse effects of the 1973-74 world oil and economic crises the alliance has begun to fragment as the African states become transformed from partners to clients and dependents of the Arabs. This study examines the roots of the African conversion the nature of the evolving relationship between the African and Arab states and the reasons—economic and political—for the transformation of the alliance. Basic to that transformation the authors argue is a fundamental change in the international status and power of the Arab states a change that has led them to cast their lot with the industrialized First World rather than with the poorer less developed countries. | The Arabafrican Connection Political And Economic Realities

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives analyses a large body of Victorian literary texts dealing with the topic of Catholicism and Catholics written from the non-Catholic perspective. The readings of these texts are inspired by psychoanalytic criticism primarily by the work of Freud and Kristeva. Kristeva’s work on abjection the paradoxical repulsion mixed with attraction provides the framework for the first part of the book which argues that Victorian depictions of Catholicism exhibit the same mixture of fascination and attraction. The second part of the book is constructed largely around Freud’s idea of the uncanny showing how Catholicism was cast in the role of the archaic religion profoundly strange and yet at the same time somehow familiar. The book includes the readings of a number of Victorian authors both canonical (Charlotte Brontë William Thackeray Charles Dickens) and lesser-known ones (George Borrow John Shorthouse Mrs Humphry Ward). The book will be of interest to scholars of cultural literary and religious studies as well as to readers interested in the matters of religion in literature and religious prejudice. | The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

Jazz and Death Reception Rituals and Representations

Jazz and Death Reception Rituals and Representations

Jazz and Death: Reception Rituals and Representations critically examines the myriad and complex interactions between jazz and death from the New Orleans jazz funeral to jazz in heaven or hell final recordings jazz monuments and the music’s own presumed death. It looks at how fans critics journalists historians writers the media and musicians have narrated mythologized and relayed those stories. What causes the fascination of the jazz world with its deaths? What does it say about how our culture views jazz and its practitioners? Is jazz somehow a fatal culture? The narratives surrounding jazz and death cast a light on how the music and its creators are perceived. Stories of jazz musicians typically bring up different tropes ranging from the tragic misunderstood genius to the notion that virtuosity somehow comes at a price. Many of these narratives tend to perpetuate the gendered and racialized stereotypes that have been part of jazz’s history. In the end the ideas that encompass jazz and death help audiences find meaning in a complex musical practice and come to grips with the passing of their revered musical heroes - and possibly with their own mortality. | Jazz and Death Reception Rituals and Representations

Political Psychology of Turkish Political Behavior

Political Psychology of Turkish Political Behavior

The primary motivation for this book is to focus on something crucial that is missing in Turkish political science: well-founded theories on the Turkish voter and empiricism in scholarly research. Given the absence of such theories one could ask what then the best model is for explaining a Turkish citizen’s vote choice and political behaviour and what schools of thought Turkish political science has. Unfortunately it is not possible to offer a satisfactory response to either question at this point and among the clear deficiencies in the current literature the primary one is the lack of a robust model explaining how Turkish citizens form their political attitudes engage in political participation or cast their votes. With these important questions in mind this book aims to generate an interest in the theoretical and methodological tools that one can employ to conduct research contributing to the needs of the literature particularly in political behaviour and political psychology. This book expands our understanding about the processes and the mechanisms of Turkish political behaviour and contributes to the foundations of theory building in the literature. This book was published as a special issue of Turkish Studies. | Political Psychology of Turkish Political Behavior

Personal Grief Rituals Creating Unique Expressions of Loss and Meaningful Acts of Mourning in Clinical or Private Settings

Personal Grief Rituals Creating Unique Expressions of Loss and Meaningful Acts of Mourning in Clinical or Private Settings

Personal Grief Rituals presents a new model for how bereaved individuals can create unique expressions of mourning that are tailored to their psychological needs and grounded in memories and emotions specific to the relationship they lost. This book examines cultures across the world and throughout history to shed light on how humanity has always turned to grief rituals and how custom can stifle one’s pursuit of healthy and meaningful mourning. Contemporary psychological research most notably attachment theory provides an in-depth understanding of how each individual’s subjective experience of loss varies and why complicated bereavement may emerge. Richly detailed psychotherapy case studies exemplify innovative strategies for designing personal grief rituals. Where one person may visit an old haunt to express sorrow another might use symbols to strengthen their connection to the deceased and still another could cast aside vestiges of the past. Personal Grief Rituals is an excellent resource for professionals students studying the psychology of loss or anyone hoping to carve a new path through their own grief and mourning. | Personal Grief Rituals Creating Unique Expressions of Loss and Meaningful Acts of Mourning in Clinical or Private Settings

Kant and the Continental Tradition Sensibility Nature and Religion

Kant and the Continental Tradition Sensibility Nature and Religion

Immanuel Kant’s work continues to be a main focus of attention in almost all areas of philosophy. The significance of Kant’s work for the so-called continental philosophy cannot be exaggerated although work in this area is relatively scant. The book includes eight chapters a substantial introduction and a postscript all newly written by an international cast of well-known authors. Each chapter focuses on particular aspects of a fundamental problem in Kant’s and post-Kantian philosophy the problem of the relation between the world and transcendence. Chapters fall thematically into three parts: sensibility nature and religion. Each part starts with a more interpretative chapter focusing on Kant’s relevant work and continues with comparative chapters which stage dialogues between Kant and post-Kantian philosophers including Martin Heidegger Hannah Arendt Jean-François Lyotard Luce Irigaray and Jacques Derrida. A special feature of this volume is the engagement of each chapter with the work of the late British philosopher Gary Banham. The Postscript offers a subtle and erudite analysis of his intellectual trajectory philosophy and mode of working. The volume is dedicated to his memory. | Kant and the Continental Tradition Sensibility Nature and Religion

Being and Becoming an Ex-Prisoner

Being and Becoming an Ex-Prisoner

Despite broad scholarship documenting the compounding effects and self-reproducing character of incarceration ways of conceptualising imprisonment and the post-prison experience have scarcely changed in over a century. Contemporary correctional thinking has congealed around notions of risk and management. This book aims to cast new light on men’s experience of release from prison. Drawing on research conducted in Australia it speaks to the challenges facing people leaving prison and seeking acceptance amongst the non-imprisoned around the world. Johns reveals the complexity of the post-prison experience which is frequently masked by constructions of risk that individualise responsibility for reoffending and reimprisonment. This book highlights the important role of community in ex-prisoner integration in providing opportunities for participation and acceptance. Johns shows that the process of becoming an ‘ex’-prisoner is not simply one of individual choice or larger structural forces but occurs in the spaces in between. Being and Becoming an Ex-Prisoner reveals the complex interplay between internal and external meanings and practices that causes men to feel neither locked up nor wholly free. It will appeal to scholars and students interested in desistance criminology criminological or penological theory sociology and qualitative research methods.
