Harm and Disorder in the Urban Space Social Control Sense and Sensibility

Harm and Disorder in the Urban Space Social Control Sense and Sensibility

Bringing together an international group of authors this book addresses the important issues lying at the intersection between urban space on the one hand and incivilities and urban harm on the other. Progressive urbanisation not only influences people’s living conditions their well-being and health but may also generate social conflict and consequently fuel disorder and crime. Rooted in interdisciplinary scholarship this book considers a range of urban issues focussing specifically on their sensory emotive power and structural dimensions. The visual audio and olfactory components that offend or harm are inspected including how urban social control agencies respond to violations of imposed sensory regimes. Emotive dimensions examined include the consideration of people emotions and sensibilities in the perception of incivilities in the shaping of social control to deviant phenomena and their role in activating or suppressing people’s resistance towards otherwise harmful everyday practices. Power and structural dimensions examine the agents who decide and define what anti-social and harmful is and the wider socio-economic and cultural setting in which urbanites and social control agents operate. Connecting with sensory and affective turns in other disciplines the book offers an original distinctive and nuanced approach to understanding the harms disorder and social control in the city. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to those engaged with criminology sociology human geography psychology urban studies socio-legal studies and all those interested in the relationship between urban space and urban harm. | Harm and Disorder in the Urban Space Social Control Sense and Sensibility

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

Sensibility in the Early Modern Era From living machines to affective morality

Sensibility in the Early Modern Era From living machines to affective morality

Sensibility in the Early Modern Era investigates how the early modern characterisation of sensibility as a natural property of the body could give way to complex considerations about the importance of affect in morality. What underlies this understanding of sensibility is the attempt to fuse Lockean sensationism with Scottish sentimentalism – being able to have experiences of objects in the world is here seen as being grounded in the same principle that also enables us to feel moral sentiments. Moral and epistemic ways of relating to the world thus blend into one another as both can be traced to the same capacity that enables us to affectively respond to stimuli that impinge on our perceptual apparatus. This collection focuses on these connections by offering reflections on the role of sensibility in the early modern attempt to think of the human being as a special kind of sensitive machine and affectively responsive animal. Humans as they are understood in this context relate to themselves by sensing themselves and perpetually refining their intellectual and moral capacities in response to the way the world affects them. Responding to the world here refers to the manner in which both natural and man-made influences impact on our ability to conceptualise the animate and inanimate world and our place within that world. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Intellectual History Review. | Sensibility in the Early Modern Era From living machines to affective morality

Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Ogden sets out a movement in contemporary psychoanalysis toward a new sensibility reflecting a shift in emphasis from what he calls epistemological psychoanalysis (having to do with knowing and understanding) to ontological psychoanalysis (having to do with being and becoming). Ogden clinically illustrates his way of dreaming the analytic session and of inventing psychoanalysis with each patient. Using the works of Winnicott and Bion he finds a turn in the analytic conception of mind from conceiving of it as a thing—a mental apparatus—to viewing mind as a living process located in the very act of experiencing. Ogden closes the volume with discussions of being and becoming that occur in reading the poetry of Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson and in the practice of analytic writing. This book will be of great interest not only to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists interested in the shift in analytic theory and practice Ogden describes but also to those interested in ideas concerning the way the mind and human experiencing are created. | Coming to Life in the Consulting Room Toward a New Analytic Sensibility

Ecocriticism and the Sense of Place

Ecocriticism and the Sense of Place

The book is an investigation into the ways in which ideas of place are negotiated contested and refigured in environmental writing at the turn of the twenty-first century. It focuses on the notion of place as a way of interrogating the socio-political and environmental pressures that have been seen as negatively affecting our environments since the advent of modernity as well as the solutions that have been given as an antidote to those pressures. Examining a selection of literary representations of place from across the globe the book illuminates the multilayered and polyvocal ways in which literary works render local and global ecological relations of places. In this way it problematises more traditional environmentalism and its somewhat essentialised idea of place by intersecting the largely Western discourse of environmental studies with postcolonial and Indigenous studies thus considering the ways in which forms of emplacement can occur within displacement and dispossession especially within societies that are dealing with the legacies of colonialism neocolonial exploitation or international pressure to conform. As such the work foregrounds the singular processes in which different local/global communities recognise themselves in their diverse approaches to the environment and gestures towards an environmental politics that is based on an epistemology of contact connection and difference and as one moreover that recognises its own epistemological limits. This book will appeal to researchers working in the fields of environmental humanities postcolonial studies Indigenous studies and comparative literature. | Ecocriticism and the Sense of Place

An Analysis of Thomas Paine's Common Sense

An Analysis of Thomas Paine's Common Sense

Thomas Paine’s 1776 Common Sense has secured an unshakeable place as one of history’s most explosive and revolutionary books. A slim pamphlet published at the beginning of the American Revolution it was so widely read that it remains the all-time best selling book in US history. An impassioned argument for American independence and for democratic government Common Sense can claim to have helped change the face of the world more than almost any other book. But Paine’s pamphlet is also a masterclass in critical thinking demonstrating how the reasoned construction of arguments can be reinforced by literary skill and passion. Paine is perhaps more famous as a stylist than as a constructor of arguments but Common Sense marries the best elements of good reasoning to its polemic. Moving systematically from the origins of government through a criticism of monarchy and on to the possibilities for future democratic government in an independent America Paine neatly lays out a series of persuasive reasons to fight for independence and a new form of government. Indeed as the pamphlet’s title suggested to do so was nothing more than ‘common sense. ’ | An Analysis of Thomas Paine's Common Sense

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

In sharp contrast with the current top-down medicalized method to treating addiction this book presents the felt sense polyvagal model (FSPM) a paradigm-shifting bottom-up approach that considers addiction as an adaptive attempt to regulate emotional states and trauma. The felt sense polyvagal model draws from Porges' polyvagal theory Gendelin's felt sense and Lewis' learning model of addiction to offer a graphically illustrated and deeply embodied way of conceptualizing and treating addiction through supporting autonomic regulation. This model de-pathologizes addiction as it teaches embodied practices through tapping into the felt sense the body’s inner wisdom. Chapters first present a theoretical framework and demonstrate the graphic model in both clinician and client versions and then teach the clinician how to use the model in practice by providing detailed treatment strategies. This text’s informed compassionate approach to understanding and treating trauma and addiction is adaptable to any school of psychotherapy and will appeal to addiction experts trauma specialists and clinicians in all mental health fields. | Treating Trauma and Addiction with the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model A Bottom-Up Approach

The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

Sense of belonging refers to the extent a student feels included accepted valued and supported on their campus. The developmental process of belonging is interwoven with the social identity development of diverse college students. Moreover belonging is influenced by the campus environment relationships and involvement opportunities as well as a need to master the student role and achieve academic success. Although the construct of sense of belonging is complex and multilayered a consistent theme across the chapters in this book is that the relationship between sense of belonging and intersectionality of identity cannot be ignored and must be integrated into any approach to fostering belonging. Over the last 10 years colleges and universities have started grappling with the notion that their approaches to maintaining and increasing student retention persistence and graduation rates were no longer working. As focus shifted to uncovering barriers to student success while concurrently recognizing student success as more than solely academic factors the term “student sense of belonging” gained traction in both academic and co-curricular settings. The editors noticed the lack of a consistent definition or an overarching theoretical approach as well as a struggle to connect disparate research. A compendium of research applications and approaches to sense of belonging did not exist so they brought this book into being to serve as a single point of reference in an emerging and promising field of study. | The Impact of a Sense of Belonging in College Implications for Student Persistence Retention and Success

Don't be Fooled A Philosophy of Common Sense

Don't be Fooled A Philosophy of Common Sense

In the debate leading up to the EU referendum in the United Kingdom the British politician Michael Gove declared that people in this country have had enough of experts. In the 2016 Presidential campaign in the United States Donald Trump waged a war against the very idea of expertise. Yet if you are worried about your child's behaviour don't know which laptop to buy or just want to get fit the answer is easy: ask an expert. Where do we draw the line? Why do we appear to know more and more collectively yet less and less individually? Has expertise painted itself into a corner? Can we defend both science and common sense? In this engaging and much-needed book Jan Bransen explores these important questions and more. He argues that the rise of behavioural sciences has caused a sea change in the relationship between science and common sense. He shows how - as recently as the 1960s - common sense and science were allies in the battle against ignorance but that since then populism and chauvinism have claimed common sense as their own. Bransen argues that common sense is a collection of interrelated skills that draw on both an automatic pilot and an investigative attitude where we ask ourselves the right questions. It is the very attitude of open-minded inquiry and questioning that Bransen believes we are at risk of losing in the face of an army of experts. Drawing on fascinating examples such as language and communication money the imaginary world of Endoxa domestic violence and quality of life Don't be Fooled: A Philosophy of Common Sense is a brilliant and wry defence of a skill that is a vital part of being human. | Don't be Fooled A Philosophy of Common Sense

Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Respect for animals has always been a part of human consciousness. Poets thinkers philosophers scientists and statesmen have long celebrated our compassion towards Earth's other beasts. Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb compiles the most significant statements of sensibility to animals in the history of thought. From the myths of the ancient world to the Middle Ages to Darwin and beyond Preece captures the most telling and fascinating accounts of humankind's relationship to the wild world placing them in historical context. Jung called it an unconscious identity with animals while Wordsworth saw it as the primal sympathy which having been must ever be. Linking the diverse chords of human experience that are touched by the animal world Preece shows that despite a historical thread of cruelty there still remains in all humanity a constant underlying concern for other beings as an integral part of the moral community. With musings and meditations from Lao Tse to Mohammed from Plato to Jane Goodall from classical religion to parliamentary proceedings Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb is an original superbly researched history that deepens our understanding of all living beings. | Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Hearing is a prerequisite for the evolution of language and thus the development of human societies. It is the only major sense whose evolution can be traced back to vertebrates starting with sarcopterygians. The book explores the evolution of auditory development that has remained largely unexplored in contemporary theories of neurosensory brain evolution including the telencephalon. It describes how sensory epithelia from the basilar papilla evolved in the ear and connected dedicated cochlear neurons to neuronal centers in the brain and deals with how sound is converted through sound modulations into reliably decoded messages. The loss of hearing with age is expected to reach 2. 6 billion people by 2050. As such the book explains and reviews hearing loss at the molecular level to the behavioral level and provides suggestions to manage the loss. | Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing
