Whitewashed Critical Perspectives Restoring the Edge to Edgy Ideas

Whitewashed Critical Perspectives Restoring the Edge to Edgy Ideas

This volume examines revolutionary constructs in literacy education and demonstrates how they have been gentrified whitewashed and appropriated losing their revolutionary edge so as to become palatable for the mainstream. Written by top scholars in literacy education chapters cover key concepts that were originally conceived as radical theories to upset the status quo—including Third Space Funds of Knowledge Culturally Relevant Pedagogies and more. Each chapter addresses how the core theory was culturally appropriated and de-fanged to support rather than take down racial and societal hierarchies. Critiquing the harmful impact of watering down these theories the contributors offer ways to restore the edge to these once groundbreaking ideas reject racist and assimilationist trends and support the original vision behind these liberatory theories. In so doing this volume adopts a truly radical critical stance that is essential for researchers scholars and students in literacy education. | Whitewashed Critical Perspectives Restoring the Edge to Edgy Ideas

Macroeconomic Modelling Economic Policy and Methodology Economics at the Edge

Macroeconomic Modelling Economic Policy and Methodology Economics at the Edge

Demonstrating that there are (superior) alternatives to the modern macroeconomic mainstream and its DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) models this book presents the cutting edge in macroeconomic modelling economic policy and methodology from the perspective of heterodox economic thinking. The first part of the book explores methodological issues advocating for a stronger ethical consideration in macroeconomics and for the adoption of a strategy of pluralism to ensure that macroeconomic theory is capable of adapting to real-world issues. The second part highlights recent trends in empirical Stock-Flow Consistent models by collecting a group of the most well-developed empirical models of five different economies: the Danish the Dutch the French the Italian and the Argentinian models. In all five cases the models are used to discuss various policy aspects of the individual economies. Finally the book explores issues of macroeconomic policy which are largely neglected by mainstream economists including financial (in)stability and macro imbalances. The book emphasizes the need for investigating sectoral balances which are crucial elements for investigating imbalances from the heterodox perspective. This book will be of significant interest to students and scholars of macroeconomics economic modelling economic methodology and heterodox economics more broadly. | Macroeconomic Modelling Economic Policy and Methodology Economics at the Edge

Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

This book presents an architectural overview of Dublin’s mass-housing building boom from the 1930s to the 1970s. During this period Dublin Corporation built tens of thousands of two-storey houses developing whole communities from virgin sites and green fields at the city’s edge while tentatively building four-storey flat blocks in the city centre. Author Ellen Rowley examines how and why this endeavour occurred. Asking questions around architectural and urban obsolescence she draws on national political and social histories as well as looking at international architectural histories and the influence of post-war reconstruction programmes in Britain or the symbolisation of the modern dwelling within the formation of the modern nation. Critically the book tackles this housing history as an architectural and design narrative. It explores the role of the architectural community in this frenzied provision of housing for the populace. Richly illustrated with architectural drawings and photographs from contemporary journals and the private archives of Dublin-based architectural practices this book will appeal to academics and researchers interested in the conditions surrounding Dublin’s housing history. | Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History

Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History

Analysing materials from literature and film this book considers the fates of women who did not or could not buy into the Japanese imperial ideology of good wives wise mothers in support of male empire-building. Although many feminist critics have articulated women’s active roles as dutiful collaborators for the Japanese empire male-dominated narratives of empire-building have been largely supported and rectified. In contrast the roles of marginalized women such as sex workers women entertainers hostesses and hibakusha have rarely been analyzed. This book addresses this intellectual lacuna by closely examining memories (semi-)autobiographical stories and newspaper articles grounded or inspired by lived experiences not only in Japan but also in Shanghai Manchukuo colonial Korea and the Pacific. Chapters further explore the voices of diasporic Korean women (Zainichi Korean woman born in Japan as well as Korean American woman born in Korea) whose lives were impacted intervening ethnocentric narratives that were at the heart of the Japanese empire. An appendix presents the first English translation of a memorable statement on comfort women by former Japanese propaganda actress Ri Kōran / Yamaguchi Yoshiko. Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese literature and film studies as well as gender sexuality and postcolonial studies. | Prostitutes Hostesses and Actresses at the Edge of the Japanese Empire Fragmenting History

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

This book examines the importance of language and writing in psychoanalytic theory and practice offering an understanding of how language works can give a deeper insight into the psyche both in clinical practice and everyday life. Bringing together psychoanalytic insights that hinge on the language of difficult cases this collection also includes contributions dedicated to meta-study of psychoanalytic writing. The first chapter shows how music includes tonal regions that deploy existing rules and syntax alongside atonal ones dominated by caesuras pauses and tensions. The second chapter discusses the malignant ambiguity of revealing and concealing typical of incestuous situations pinpointing how the ambiguous language of incest deceives by means of the truth . The third chapter brings in Virginia Woolf’s character Orlando in order to illustrate two types of gender crossing. Distinctions defined by the linguist Roman Jakobson help in the fourth chapter to offer an integrative description of obsessive-compulsive phenomenon as an interaction between metaphoric and metonymic dimensions as well as with a third psychotic dimension. The fifth chapter focuses on what is called the screen confessions typical of the perpetrator’s language. George Orwell’s newspeak is used here to decipher the specific means by which the perpetrator turns his or her inner witness into a blind one. The final chapter uses Roland Barthes’ concepts of studium and punctum to discuss the limits of psychoanalytic writing. As a whole this book sets the psychoanalytic importance of language in a wider understanding of how language helps to shape and even create internal as well as the external world. Drawing on insights from psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as from linguistics and cultural theory this book will be invaluable for psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and bibliotherapists as well as anyone interested in how language forms our reality. | Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Living (Il)legalities in Brazil Practices Narratives and Institutions in a Country on the Edge

Reflecting on some of Brazil’s foremost challenges this book considers the porous relationship between legality and illegality in a country that presages political and societal changes in hitherto unprecedented dimensions. It brings together work by established scholars from Brazil Europe and the United States to think through how (il)legalities are produced and represented at the level of institutions (daily) practice and culture. Througha transdisciplinary approach the chapters cover issues including informal work practices (e. g. street vendors) urban squatter movements and migration. Alongside social practices the volume features close analyses of cultural practices and cultural production including migrant literature punk music and indigenous art. The question of (il)legalities resonates beyond Brazil’s borders as concepts such as lawfare have crept into vocabularies and countries the world over grapple with issues like state interference fake news and the definition of illegal migration. This is valuable reading for scholars in Brazilian and Latin American Studies as well as those working in literary and cultural studies anthropology sociology geography and political science. | Living (Il)legalities in Brazil Practices Narratives and Institutions in a Country on the Edge

Thriving at the Edge of Chaos Managing Projects as Complex Adaptive Systems

Thriving at the Edge of Chaos Managing Projects as Complex Adaptive Systems

For many organizations the way in which projects are managed is a fundamental factor in how well they can prosper in today’s marketplace. Unfortunately the current solutions available to companies for managing projects are proving to be increasingly ineffective in a complex world that is becoming more and more dynamic and unpredictable. Organization’s pay for this complexity in delayed time-to-market slow response to customer needs and decreased productivity. While tweaking the current project management paradigm may provide some minimal gains to have a real impact requires a fundamental change in mindset. New business models like Uber and AirBnB show us that the most efficient operations in today’s business environment behave like complex adaptive systems (CAS) where self-managing participants following a set of simple rules organize themselves to solve incredibly complex problems. Instead of trying to function like a well-oiled machine where things work like clockwork companies like Uber function more like an organism that is alive and constantly changing. They fully embrace the characteristics of a CAS. Viewing an organization as a complex adaptive system drives a radically new philosophy of project management that is much better suited to the needs of the 21st-century organization and can provide the quantum leap improvement in project production that we are looking for. This book exposes the assumptions underlying the accepted paradigm of project management describes the common practices that are based on those assumptions analyzes why these practices are unhelpful and even harmful and proposes an alternative sometimes seemingly counter intuitive approach to project management based on CAS thinking. By the end of the book the reader will have a completely new perspective on the way projects can be managed in their organization and how they can quickly start reaping the benefits provided by a CAS-driven management methodology and supporting toolset that is more in tune with today’s business demands - and that turns complexity into a competitive advantage. | Thriving at the Edge of Chaos Managing Projects as Complex Adaptive Systems

The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

In the Later Han period the region covering the modern provinces of Gansu southern Ningxia eastern Qinghai northern Sichuan and western Shaanxi was a porous frontier zone between the Chinese regimes and their Central Asian neighbours not fully incorporated into the Chinese realm until the first century BCE. Not surprisingly the region had a large concentration of men of martial background from which a regional culture characterized by warrior spirit and skills prevailed. This military elite was generally honoured by the imperial centre but during the Later Han period the ascendancy of eastern-based scholar-officials and the consequent increased emphasis on civil values and de-militarization fundamentally transformed the attitude of the imperial state towards the northwestern frontiersmen leaving them struggling to achieve high political and social status. From the ensuing tensions and resentment followed the capture of the imperial capital by a northwestern military force the deposing of the emperor and the installation of a new one which triggered the disintegration of the empire. Based on extensive original research and combining cultural military and political history this book examines fully the forging of military regional identity in the northwest borderlands and the consequences of this for the early Chinese empires. | The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

Combinatorial Nullstellensatz With Applications to Graph Colouring

Combinatorial Nullstellensatz With Applications to Graph Colouring

Combinatorial Nullstellensatz is a novel theorem in algebra introduced by Noga Alon to tackle combinatorial problems in diverse areas of mathematics. This book focuses on the applications of this theorem to graph colouring. A key step in the applications of Combinatorial Nullstellensatz is to show that the coefficient of a certain monomial in the expansion of a polynomial is nonzero. The major part of the book concentrates on three methods for calculating the coefficients: Alon-Tarsi orientation: The task is to show that a graph has an orientation with given maximum out-degree and for which the number of even Eulerian sub-digraphs is different from the number of odd Eulerian sub-digraphs. In particular this method is used to show that a graph whose edge set decomposes into a Hamilton cycle and vertex-disjoint triangles is 3-choosable and that every planar graph has a matching whose deletion results in a 4-choosable graph. Interpolation formula for the coefficient: This method is in particular used to show that toroidal grids of even order are 3-choosable r-edge colourable r-regular planar graphs are r-edge choosable and complete graphs of order p+1 where p is a prime are p-edge choosable. Coefficients as the permanents of matrices: This method is in particular used in the study of the list version of vertex-edge weighting and to show that every graph is (2 3)-choosable. It is suited as a reference book for a graduate course in mathematics. | Combinatorial Nullstellensatz With Applications to Graph Colouring
