The Dynamics of Regulation: Global Control Local Resistance Cultural Management and Policy: a case study of broadcasting advertising in the

This title was first published in 2001. New technologies and the liberalization of the broadcasting and telecommunications market together with the digitalization and globalization of new services have challenged irrevocably not only the traditional markets and instructional structures but also the legal systems of broadcasting and telecommunication sectors in the 21st century. This text takes into account changes in digital broadcasting and telecommunication by pointing out that convergence is the process through which broadcasting telecommunication press and information sectors are transformed into new sectors (info-com arteries info-com products info-com services and info-com content) in order to be fully compatible with the emerging new info-communication industry in the digital transformation and info-communication era. | The Dynamics of Regulation: Global Control Local Resistance Cultural Management and Policy: a case study of broadcasting advertising in the

Materializing Memory in Art and Popular Culture

Materializing Memory in Art and Popular Culture

Memory matters. It matters because memory brings the past into the present and opens it up to the future. But it also matters literally because memory is mediated materially. Materiality is the stuff of memory. Meaningful objects that we love (or hate) function not only as aide-mémoire but are integral to memory. Drawing on previous scholarship on the interrelation of memory and materiality this book applies recent theories of new materialism to explore the material dimension of memory in art and popular culture. The book’s underlying premise is twofold: on the one hand memory is performed mediated and stored through the material world that surrounds us; on the other hand inanimate objects and things also have agency on their own which affects practices of memory as well as forgetting.

Housing Careers Intergenerational Support and Family Relations

Housing Careers Intergenerational Support and Family Relations

In this comprehensive volume authors from across the social sciences explore how housing wealth transfers have impacted the integration of families society and the economy with a focus on the (re)negotiation of the ‘generational contract’. While housing has always been central to the realization and reproduction of families more recently the mutual embedding of home and family has become more obvious as realignments in housing markets employment and welfare states have worked together to undermine housing access for new households enhancing intergenerational interdependencies. More families have thus become involved in smoothening the routes of younger adult members into and up the ‘housing ladder’. While intergenerational support appears to have become much more widespread it remains highly differentiated across countries cities and regions as well as uneven between social and income classes. This book addresses the increasing role that family support and intergenerational transfers in particular are playing in sustaining the formation of new households and the transition of young adults towards social and economic autonomy. The authors draw on diverse international cases and a variety of methodologies in order to advance our understanding of housing as a key driver of contemporary social relations and inequalities.

Law and Time

Law and Time

Research on law's relationship with time has flourished over the past decade. This edited collection aims to put law and time scholarship into wider context advancing conversations on time and temporalities between socio-legal scholars anthropologists sociologists geographers and historians. Through a diverse range of contributions the collection explores how legal modalities of time emerge and have effects within wider clusters of social and political action. Themes include: law’s diverse roles in maintaining linear historicist models of time; law’s participation in the materialisation of times; and the unsteady effects of temporal pluralism and polytemporalities in law. De-naturalising the ‘time’ in law and time scholarship this collection positions time as something that can be enacted and materialised as well as experienced with distinct implications for questions of social justice.

Art Research Philosophy

Art Research Philosophy

Art Research Philosophy explores the emergent field of artistic research: art produced as a contribution to knowledge. As a new subject it raises several questions: What is art-as-research? Don’t the requirements of research amount to an imposition on the artistic process that dilutes the power of art? How can something subjective become objective? What is the relationship between art and writing? Doesn’t description always miss the particularity of the artwork? This is the first book-length study to show how ideas in philosophy can be applied to artistic research to answer its questions and to make proposals for its future. Clive Cazeaux argues that artistic research is an exciting development in the historical debate between aesthetics and the theory of knowledge. The book draws upon Kant phenomenology and critical theory to show how the immediacies of art and experience are enmeshed in the structures that create knowledge. The power of art to act on these structures is illustrated through a series of studies that look closely at a number of contemporary artworks. This book will be ideal for postgraduate students and scholars of the visual and creative arts aesthetics and art theory.

Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities East meets West

Socio-Economic Segregation in European Capital Cities East meets West

Growing inequalities in Europe are a major challenge threatening the sustainability of urban communities and the competiveness of European cities. While the levels of socio-economic segregation in European cities are still modest compared to some parts of the world the poor are increasingly concentrating spatially within capital cities across Europe. An overlooked area of research this book offers a systematic and representative account of the spatial dimension of rising inequalities in Europe. This book provides rigorous comparative evidence on socio-economic segregation from 13 European cities. Cities include Amsterdam Athens Budapest London Milan Madrid Oslo Prague Riga Stockholm Tallinn Vienna and Vilnius. Comparing 2001 and 2011 this multi-factor approach links segregation to four underlying universal structural factors: social inequalities global city status welfare regimes and housing systems.

Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

The book examines some of the dilemmas surrounding Europe’s open borders migrations and identities through the prism of the Roma – Europe’s most dispersed and socially marginalised population. The volume challenges some of the myths surrounding the Roma as a ‘problem population’ and places the focus instead on the context of European policy and identity debates. It comes to the conclusion that the migration of Roma and the constitution of their communities is shaped by European policy as much as and often more so than by the cultural traits of the Roma themselves. The chapters compare case studies of Roma migrants in Spain Italy France and Britain and the impact of migration on the origin communities in Romania. The study combines historical and ethnographic methods with insights from migration studies drawing on a unique multi-site collaborative project that for the first time gave Roma participants a voice in shaping research into their communities.

Reforming Senates Upper Legislative Houses in North Atlantic Small Powers 1800-present

This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories. Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep their senates relevant.

Marketisation Ethics and Healthcare Policy Practice and Moral Formation

Marketisation Ethics and Healthcare Policy Practice and Moral Formation

How does the market affect and redefine healthcare? The marketisation of Western healthcare systems has now proceeded well into its fourth decade. But the nature and meaning of the phenomenon has become increasingly opaque amidst changing discourses policies and institutional structures. Moreover ethics has become focussed on dealing with individual clinical decisions and neglectful of the political economy which shapes healthcare. This interdisciplinary volume approaches marketisation by exploring the debates underlying the contemporary situation and by introducing reconstructive and reparative discourses. The first part explores contrary interpretations of ‘marketisation’ on a systemic level with a view to organisational-ethical formation and the role of healthcare ethics. The second part presents the marketisation of healthcare at the level of policy-making discusses the ethical ramifications of specific marketisation measures and considers the possibility of reconciling market forces with a covenantal understanding of healthcare. The final part examines healthcare workers’ and ethicists’ personal moral standing in a marketised healthcare system with a view to preserving and enriching virtue empathy and compassion.
