The Routledge Companion to the Contemporary Musical

The Routledge Companion to the Contemporary Musical

The Routledge Companion to the Contemporary Musical is dedicated to the musical’s evolving relationship to American culture in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. In the past decade-and-a-half international scholars from an ever-widening number of disciplines and specializations have been actively contributing to the interdisciplinary field of musical theater studies. Musicals have served not only to mirror the sociopolitical economic and cultural tenor of the times but have helped shape and influence it in America and across the globe: a genre that may seem at first glance light-hearted and escapist serves also as a bold commentary on society. Forty-four essays examine the contemporary musical as an ever-shifting product of an ever-changing culture. This volume sheds new light on the American musical as a thriving contemporary performing arts genre one that could have died out in the post-Tin Pan Alley era but instead has managed to remain culturally viable and influential in part by newly embracing a series of complex contradictions. At present the American musical is a live localized old-fashioned genre that has simultaneously developed into an increasingly globalized tech-savvy intensely mediated mass entertainment form. Similarly as it has become increasingly international in its scope and appeal the stage musical has also become more firmly rooted to Broadway—the idea if not the place—and thus branded as a quintessentially American entertainment.

Open to the Public Evaluation in the Public Sector

Open to the Public Evaluation in the Public Sector

Open to the Public grows out of concern with evaluation in the public arena and the struggle to understand how best to use the information it generates. Many concepts and models of evaluation how to undertake it and how to make it more useful were developed before government performance became of so much interest to the public. In fact it is arguable that recent changes in the forms shapes structures and media through which the information developed in the process of evaluation becomes public require new ways of thinking about its role in society. What is the role of evaluative information in the public arena today? How when and under what circumstances does the actual use of evaluative information take place and what are the forces at play? By compiling and comparing international case studies this book considers forces that make the information produced in evaluations increasing open to the public. They provide insights into the many factors that influence evaluation and its use in the public arena. Their case studies include such current topics as: spin doctoring of information by the media and this practice's relationship to evaluation studies the hotly debated issue of school performance and information about it aired in the public arena and the controversial link between budget processing and government performance. This book will be invaluable to those conducting evaluations public employees and commissioners and those studying public administration. | Open to the Public Evaluation in the Public Sector

The March to Capitalism in the Transition Countries

The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Psychoanalyst and the Child explores the unique nature of psychoanalytic work with children. This book is based on more than 30 years of practice and reflection within the framework of the Alfred Binet Centre in Paris France. The very great diversity of situations encountered at the Centre brings the issue of therapeutic indications to the forefront. Michel Ody focuses on the diversification of fifteen clinical situations and their theorization ranging from basic consultation to psychoanalytic treatment. With this framework as his starting-point he looks at the common features between the therapeutic consultation – a consultation that becomes therapeutic – and the analytic treatment as well as what differentiates them. This implies examining at the technical level the different forms of interventions and interpretations presented as well as their metapsychological articulation. Ody draws on decades of clinical expertise to set out not just the basic considerations and problems typically encountered in work with this patient group but clear guidelines for methodology and technique. Psychoanalysis can be an intellectual process dependent on the ability of the patient to express themselves verbally which can make working clinically with children challenging. The Psychoanalyst and the Child seeks to help psychoanalysts through the most challenging of clinical treatments with this patient group. | The Psychoanalyst and the Child From the Consultation to Psychoanalytic Treatment

The Agricultural Dilemma How Not to Feed the World

The Global Pharmaceutical Industry The Demise and the Path to Recovery

The Global Pharmaceutical Industry The Demise and the Path to Recovery

The pharmaceutical industry long thought of as a recession-proof investment now faces a day of reckoning. The reasons for this impending downfall are not hard to discern. The prices the industry charges for its prescription drugs have escalated at four to five times the cost-of-living increases during the past two decades and have reached a point where 30% of Americans must choose between filling a prescription paying for housing and buying food. This has brought about public pressure on governments around the world to control drug prices yet the world’s twenty largest pharma companies realized 80% of their growth as a result of exorbitant price hikes. Pharma currently enjoys its extraordinary profitability by exploiting the world’s most vulnerable populations. Yet even their ability to increase prices in the face of falling demand does not satisfy their profit demands. The breadth and depth of pharma’s marketing transgressions exceed those of any other industry and have now reached a point where authorities around the world have found it necessary to take legal action against its violations. Drastic change is needed if the pharmaceutical industry can equitably advance the health of the world’s population and regain public esteem. This book illustrates the range and extent of pharma’s violations and addresses the actions that should be implemented in order to make the drug industry a more constructive less venal part of contemporary society. It will be of interest to researchers academics practitioners and students with an interest in the pharmaceutical industry healthcare management regulation and bioethics. | The Global Pharmaceutical Industry The Demise and the Path to Recovery

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

For many decades race and racism have been common areas of study in departments of sociology history political science English and anthropology. Much more recently as the historical concept of race and racial categories have faced significant scientific and political challenges philosophers have become more interested in these areas. This changing understanding of the ontology of race has invited inquiry from researchers in moral philosophy metaphysics epistemology philosophy of science philosophy of language and aesthetics. The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Race offers in one comprehensive volume newly written articles on race from the world’s leading analytic and continental philosophers. It is however accessible to a readership beyond philosophy as well providing a cohesive reference for a wide student and academic readership. The Companion synthesizes current philosophical understandings of race providing 37 chapters on the history of philosophy and race as well as how race might be investigated in the usual frameworks of contemporary philosophy. The volume concludes with a section on philosophical approaches to some topics with broad interest outside of philosophy like colonialism affirmative action eugenics immigration race and disability and post-racialism. By clearly explaining and carefully organizing the leading current philosophical thinking on race this timely collection will help define the subject and bring renewed understanding of race to students and researchers in the humanities social science and sciences. | The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Race

Approaches to the Byzantine Family

Approaches to the Byzantine Family

The study of the family is one of the major lacunas in Byzantine Studies. Angeliki Laiou remarked in 1989 that ’the study of the Byzantine family is still in its infancy’ and this assertion remains true today. The present volume addresses this lacuna. It comprises 19 chapters written by international experts in the field which take a variety of approaches to the study of the Byzantine family and embrace a chronological span from the later Roman to the late Byzantine empire. The context is established by chapters focusing on the Roman roots of the Byzantine family the Christianisation of the family and the nature of the family in contemporaneous cultures (the late antique west and the Islamic east). Key methodological approaches to the Byzantine family are highlighted and discussed in particular prosopographical and life course approaches. The contribution of hagiography to the understanding of the Byzantine family is analysed by several authors; other chapters on the family and children in art and on the archaeology of the Middle Byzantine house explore the material evidence that can shed light on the Byzantine family. Overall the diversity of families that existed in Byzantium (blood fictive metaphorical) is emphasised and chapters consider the specific cases of ascetic monastic aristocratic and peasant families as well as the imperial family which is illuminated by the comparative case of a Caliphal family. The volume is topped and tailed by a Preface and an Afterword by the editors which address the state of the field and consider the way ahead. Thus the volume is vital in putting the subject of the Byzantine Family in sharp focus and setting the research agenda for the future.
