Bridging Boundaries in Consumption Markets and Culture

Bridging Boundaries in Consumption Markets and Culture

This book focuses on the bridges that connect the dynamic relations between consumer actions the marketplace and cultural meanings. Answering the challenge to do more than merely cross the boundaries between these fields the authors in this volume also undertake the far harder work of bridging them. Consequently this book is a rich and topical array of research projects which engage in a variety of theoretical and empirical boundary crossings. The authors’ diverse methodologies span archival research visual content analysis ethnography and phenomenological interviewing. Their research contexts are distinctly globally diverse as reflected in the topics of their studies: aid in contemporary Syrian refugee camps in Germany; early twentieth-century Swedish advertisements for kitchens; family formation in twenty-first-century Sri Lanka; Brazilian book (de)collectors; and the signification of magazine covers in India. Overall the book makes for compelling reading across and beyond conventional boundaries associated with the study of consumption markets and culture. This book was originally published as a peer-reviewed special issue of Consumption Markets & Culture. | Bridging Boundaries in Consumption Markets and Culture

Nationalism Ethnicity and Boundaries Conceptualising and understanding identity through boundary approaches

Nationalism Ethnicity and Boundaries Conceptualising and understanding identity through boundary approaches

Nationalism and ethnicity have become across time and space a force in the construction of boundaries. This book analyses geographical and physical borders and symbolic political and socio-economic boundaries and how they impact upon nationalism and ethnic identity. Geographic and other tangible borders are critical components in the making and unmaking of boundaries. However symbolic or intangible boundaries along national ethnic political or socio-economic criteria are equally significant. Organised into three sections on theory national and transnational case studies this book both introduces existing approaches to the study of boundaries and illustrates how it is possible to apply renewed boundary approaches to better understand nationalism and ethnicity in contemporary contexts. Expert contributors in the field present detailed case studies on the UK Israel Estonia Latvia Ukraine and Kazakhstan and draw upon further examples from more than a dozen countries to provide a critical evaluation of the use of borders boundaries and boundary-making in the study of nationalism and ethnicity. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of International Politics Nationalism Racial and Ethnic Politics Ethnic Identity and Sociology. | Nationalism Ethnicity and Boundaries Conceptualising and understanding identity through boundary approaches

Policing Across Organisational Boundaries Developments in Theory and Practice

Policing Across Organisational Boundaries Developments in Theory and Practice

This book promotes new theoretical frameworks and research questions that seek to advance knowledge of policing across internal and external organisational boundaries specifically at the structural level of analysis. It addresses police theory policy and practice and also provides new directions for future research on intra- and inter-organisational policing. Analysing boundaries is of increasing global importance for policing policy and practice. Boundaries reflect the division-of-labour inherent to complex organisations and their specialist units. In order to operate effectively however these boundaries must be crossed and strong and reliable linkages must be built. Intra-organisationally it is vital to understand how specialist units form and function and interact with other units. Inter-organisationally it is fundamental to recognise the place of boundaries in contexts such as international police cooperation.

Development Across Faith Boundaries

Development Across Faith Boundaries

Faith-based organisations (FBOs) have long been recognised as having an advantage in delivering programs and interventions amongst communities of the same faith. However many FBOs today work across a variety of contexts including with local partners and communities of different faiths. Likewise secular NGOs and donors are increasingly partnering with faith-based organisations to work in highly-religious communities. Development Across Faith Boundaries explores the dynamics of activities by local or international FBOs that cross faith boundaries whether with their partners donors or recipient communities. The book investigates the dynamics of cross-faith partnerships in a range of development contexts from India Cambodia and Myanmar to Melanesia Bosnia Ethiopia and Afghanistan. The book demonstrates how far FBOs extend their activities beyond their own faith communities and how far NGOs partner with religious actors. It also considers the impacts of these cross-faith partnerships including their work on conflict and sectarian or ethnic tension in the relevant communities. This book is an invaluable guide for graduates researchers and students with an interest in development and religious studies as well as practitioners within the aid sector.

The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

The Boundaries of Mixedness tackles the burgeoning field of critical mixed race studies bringing together research that spans five continents and more than ten countries. Research on mixedness is growing yet there is still much debate over what exactly mixed race means and whether it is a useful term. Despite a growing focus on and celebration of mixedness globally particularly in the media societies around the world are grappling with how and why crossing socially constructed boundaries of race ethnicity and other markers of difference matter when considering those who date marry raise families or navigate their identities across these boundaries. What we find collectively through the ten studies in this book is that in every context there is a hierarchy of mixedness both in terms of intimacy and identity. This hierarchy of intimacy renders certain groups as more or less marriable socially constructed around race ethnicity caste religion skin color and/or region. Relatedly there is also a hierarchy of identities where certain races languages ethnicities and religions are privileged and valued differently. These differences emerge out of particular local histories and contemporary contexts yet there are also global realities that transcend place and space. The Boundaries of Mixedness is a significant new contribution to mixed race studies for academics researchers and advanced students of Ethnic and Racial Studies Sociology History and Public Policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies. | The Boundaries of Mixedness A Global Perspective

Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Cognitive Narratives Thematics proposes a new way in which narrative works organise their thematic material. It rehabilitates the study of what books are about by providing a cognitive narrative thematic model (CNT). Part I presents CNT by combining different approaches to narrative such as evolutionary theory semiotics possible worlds theory or rhetorical criticism. Part II applies CNT to a variety of well-known narratives in different modalities such as Robert Browning’s My Last Duchess Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are Frank Miller’s 300 or Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. It also considers literary histories and digital humanities. Daniel Candel shows that CNT deserves greater attention and that thematics generates its own forms and adds to the aesthetic pleasure of the text. Candel illustrates that CNT improves the established interpretations of the narrative works it studies. This innovative study reveals how CNT offers readers a deeper understanding and how readers and critics are often using CNT intuitively without being aware of it. It is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of narrative theory. | Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin

Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin

The idea that socialism could be established in a single country was adopted as an official doctrine by the Soviet Union in 1925 Stalin and Bukharin being the main formulators of the policy. Before this there had been much debate as to whether the only way to secure socialism would be as a result of socialist revolution on a much broader scale across all Europe or wider still. This book traces the development of ideas about communist utopia from Plato onwards paying particular attention to debates about universalist ideology versus the possibility for socialism in one country. The book argues that although the prevailing view is that socialism in one country was a sharp break from a long tradition that tended to view socialism as only possible if universal in fact the territorially confined socialist project had long roots including in the writings of Marx and Engels. | Boundaries of Utopia - Imagining Communism from Plato to Stalin

Alevism as an Ethno-Religious Identity Contested Boundaries

Alevism as an Ethno-Religious Identity Contested Boundaries

Until recently the importance of religion in the modern world has often been underestimated in Western societies whereas its significance is absolutely crucial in the Middle East. Religion is critical to a sense of belonging for communities and nations and can be a force for unity or division. This is the case for the Alevis an ethnic and religious community that constitutes approximately 20% of the Turkish population – its second largest religious group. In the current crisis in the Middle East the heightened religious tensions between Sunnis Shias and Alawites raise questions about who the Alevis are and where they stand in this conflict. With an ambiguous relationship to Islam historically Alevis have been treated as a ‘suspect community’ in Turkey and recently whilst distinct from Alawites have sympathised with the Assad regime’s secular orientation. The chapters in this book analyse different aspects of Alevi identity in relation to religion politics culture education and national identity drawing on specialist research in the field. The approach is interdisciplinary and contributes to wider debates concerning ethnicity religion migration and trans/national identity within and across ethno-religious boundaries. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the National Identities journal. | Alevism as an Ethno-Religious Identity Contested Boundaries

Soft Spaces in Europe Re-negotiating governance boundaries and borders

Soft Spaces in Europe Re-negotiating governance boundaries and borders

The past thirty years have seen a proliferation of new forms of territorial governance that have come to co-exist with and complement formal territorial spaces of government. These governance experiments have resulted in the creation of soft spaces new geographies with blurred boundaries that eschew existing political-territorial boundaries of elected tiers of government. The emergence of new non-statutory or informal spaces can be found at multiple levels across Europe in a variety of circumstances and with diverse aims and rationales. This book moves beyond theory to examine the practice of soft spaces. It employs an empirical approach to better understand the various practices and rationalities of soft spaces and how they manifest themselves in different planning contexts. By looking at the effects of new forms of spatial governance and the role of spatial planning in North-western Europe this book analyses discursive changes in planning policies in selected metropolitan areas and cross-border regions. The result is an exploration of how these processes influence the emergence of soft spaces governance arrangements and the role of statutory planning in different contexts. This book provides a deeper understanding of space and place territorial governance and network governance. | Soft Spaces in Europe Re-negotiating governance boundaries and borders

Urban Neighbourhood Formations Boundaries Narrations and Intimacies

Urban Neighbourhood Formations Boundaries Narrations and Intimacies

This book examines the formation of urban neighbourhoods in the Middle East Africa and South Asia. It departs from ‘neighbourhoods’ to consider identity coexistence solidarity and violence in relations to a place. Urban Neighbourhood Formations revolves around three major aspects of making and unmaking of neighbourhoods: spatial and temporal boundaries of neighbourhoods neighbourhoods as imagined and narrated entities and neighbourhood as social relations. With extensive case studies from Johannesburg to Istanbul and from Jerusalem to Delhi this volume shows how spatial amenities immaterial processes of narrating and dreaming and the lasting effect of intimacies and violence in a neighbourhood are intertwined and negotiated over time in the construction of moral orders urban practices and political identities at large. This book offers insights into neighbourhood formations in an age of constant mobility and helps us understand the grassroots-level dynamics of xenophobia and hostility as much as welcoming and openness. It would be of interest for both academics and more general audiences as well as for students of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Urban Studies and Anthropology. | Urban Neighbourhood Formations Boundaries Narrations and Intimacies

Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

The central themes of Cell Boundaries concern the structural and organizational principles underlying cell membranes and how these principles enable function. By building a biological and biophysical foundation for understanding the organization of lipids in bilayers and the folding assembly stability and function of membrane proteins the book aims to broaden the knowledge of bioscience students to include the basic physics and physical chemistry that inform us about membranes. In doing so it is hoped that physics students will find familiar territory that will lead them to an interest in biology. Our progress toward understanding membranes and membrane proteins depends strongly upon the concerted use of both biology and physics. It is important for students to know not only what we know but how we have come to know it so Cell Boundaries endeavours to bring out the history behind the central discoveries especially in the early chapters where the foundation is laid for later chapters. Science is far more interesting if as students we can appreciate and share in the adventures—and misadventures—of discovering new scientific knowledge. Cell Boundaries was written with advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the biological and physical sciences in mind though this textbook will likely have appeal to researchers and other academics as well. Highlights the history of important central discoveries Early chapters lay the foundation for later chapters to build on so knowledge is amassed High-quality line diagrams illustrate key concepts and illuminate molecular mechanisms Box features and spreads expand on topics in main text including histories of discoveries special techniques and applications | Cell Boundaries How Membranes and Their Proteins Work

Crossing Boundaries and Weaving Intercultural Work Life and Scholarship in Globalizing Universities

Crossing Boundaries and Weaving Intercultural Work Life and Scholarship in Globalizing Universities

This book generates a fresh complex view of the process of globalization by examining how work scholarship and life inform each other among intercultural scholars as they navigate their interpersonal relationships and cross boundaries physically and metaphorically. Divided into three parts the book examines: (1) the socio-psychological process of crossing boundaries constructed around nations and work organizations; (2) the negotiation of multiple aspects of identities; and (3) the role of language in intercultural encounters in particular adjustment taking place at linguistic and interactional levels. The authors reflect upon and give meaning and structure to their own intercultural experiences through theoretical frameworks and concepts—many of which they themselves have proposed and developed in their own research. They also provide invaluable advice for transnational scholars and those who aspire to work and live abroad to improve organizational participation and mutual intercultural engagement when working in a globalizing workplace. Researchers and practitioners of applied linguistics communication studies and higher education in many regions of the world will find this book an insightful resource. | Crossing Boundaries and Weaving Intercultural Work Life and Scholarship in Globalizing Universities

Mobility in Contemporary Zimbabwean Literature in English Crossing Borders Transcending Boundaries

Mobility in Contemporary Zimbabwean Literature in English Crossing Borders Transcending Boundaries

This monograph explores the concept of mobility in Zimbabwean works of fiction published in English between the introduction of the controversial Fast Track Land Reform Programme and the end of the Mugabe era. Since 2000 Zimbabwe has experienced unprecedented levels of transnational out-migration in response to the political conflicts and economic downturn often referred to as the Zimbabwe Crisis. This in turn has led to an increased outpouring of literary texts about migration both in locally produced texts and in works by authors based in the diaspora. Situating Zimbabwe’s recent literary developments in a wider context of Southern African writing and history this book focuses on texts that portray movement within Zimbabwe’s cities between village and city to South Africa and overseas. The author examines important developments and trends in recent Zimbabwean literature investigating the link between state authoritarianism and control of mobility and literature’s potential to intervene into dominant political discourses. The book includes in-depth analyses of ten recent works of fiction published in the post-2000 era and develops mobility as a key category of literary analysis of Zimbabwe’s contemporary literatures. Setting out a rich dialogue between literary criticism and mobility studies this book will be of interest to researchers of African literature Southern Africa migration and mobility. | Mobility in Contemporary Zimbabwean Literature in English Crossing Borders Transcending Boundaries

Research Methods in Legal Translation and Interpreting Crossing Methodological Boundaries

Research Methods in Legal Translation and Interpreting Crossing Methodological Boundaries

The field of Legal translation and interpreting has strongly expanded over recent years. As it has developed into an independent branch of Translation Studies this book advocates for a substantiated discussion of methods and methodology as well as knowledge about the variety of approaches actually applied in the field. It is argued that complex and multifaceted as it is legal translation calls for research that might cross boundaries across research approaches and disciplines in order to shed light on the many facets of this social practice. The volume addresses the challenge of methodological consolidation triangulation and refinement. The work presents examples of the variety of theoretical approaches which have been developed in the discipline and of the methodological sophistication which is currently being called for. In this regard by combining different perspectives they expand our understanding of the roles played by legal translators and interpreters who emerge as linguistic and intercultural mediators dealing with a rich variety of legal texts; as knowledge communicators and as builders of specialised knowledge; as social agents performing a socially-situated activity; as decision-makers and agents subject to and redefining power relations and as political actors shaping legal cultures and negotiating cultural identities as well as their own professional identity.

Madness Ideas About Insanity

Madness Ideas About Insanity

This book is an introduction to the uncertainties and incongruities about madness. It is aimed at all of those who are curious about this subject whether out of general inquisitiveness or because it is part of a formal course of study. Using case studies of real people in order to explain humanise and bring to life the subject Peter Morrall critically analyses how madness has been and is understood or perhaps misunderstood. By contrasting past and present people who have been perceived as mad and/or perceive themselves as mad Morrall presents core ideas about madness and critiques their would-be robustness in explaining the specific madness of the person in question as well as their general relevance to madness overall. Unlike many of its contemporaries the book does not adhere to a perspective but rather remains skeptical about the ideas of all who profess to understandmadness whether these emanate from sociology psychology psychotherapy anthropology ‘anti’ psychiatry or the biological sciences of contemporary‘scientific-psychiatry’. This book will inform and stimulate the thinking of the reader and challenge those with preconceived ideas about madness. | Madness Ideas About Insanity

Rethinking Nature Challenging Disciplinary Boundaries

Rethinking Nature Challenging Disciplinary Boundaries

Contemporary ideas of nature were largely shaped by schools of thought from Western cultural history and philosophy until the present-day concerns with environmental change and biodiversity conservation. There are many different ways of conceptualising nature in epistemological terms reflecting the tensions between the polarities of humans as masters or protectors of nature and as part of or outside of nature. The book shows how nature is today the focus of numerous debates calling for an approach which goes beyond the merely technical or scientific. It adopts a threefold – critical historical and cross-disciplinary – approach in order to summarise the current state of knowledge. It includes contributions informed by the humanities (especially history literature and philosophy) and social sciences concerned with the production and circulation of knowledge about nature across disciplines and across national and cultural spaces. The volume also demonstrates the ongoing reconfiguration of subject disciplines as seen in the recent emergence of new interdisciplinary approaches and the popularity of the prefix eco- (e. g. ecocriticism ecospirituality ecosophy and ecofeminism as well as subdivisions of ecology including urban ecology industrial ecology and ecosystem services). Each chapter provides a concise overview of its topic which will serve as a helpful introduction to students and a source of easy reference. This text is also valuable reading for researchers interested in philosophy sociology anthropology geography ecology politics and all their respective environmentalist strands. | Rethinking Nature Challenging Disciplinary Boundaries

The Boundaries of Change in Community Work

The Boundaries of Change in Community Work

Since the late 1960s community work had emerged in its own right as an occupation with an increasingly important contribution to make both to ways of thinking within the field of social policy and to day-to-day social work practice and the resolution of pressing community issues. Its practitioners had grown in numbers and experience while community work ideas and methods continued to influence developments in a variety of other ‘neighbouring’ occupations. Originally published in 1980 the editors of this NISW collection suggest that if community workers are to remain effective then they must stay on the boundaries of the agencies that employ them and of the groups with whom they work. This theme of the ‘boundary nature’ of community work is examined in detail in the Introduction and is subsequently taken up by the other contributors to the book. This title is organised under three main headings – a survey section on the history philosophy and theories of community work in the United Kingdom; a series of case studies that suggest the diversity of the interests of community work; and an analysis of the growth of community work as an occupation and the spread of its influence through related professions and disciplines. This mix of theory practice and analysis made the book of special importance both to practising community workers and to community work teachers and students at the time. In addition the book would have been of direct interest to community oriented administrators professionals teachers and students in other human service fields such as health education housing planning and the personal social services as well as to elected members and administrators in central and local government more generally. It will now be welcomed by anyone who seeks a critical account of the historical activities of community work written by experienced practitioners and teachers. | The Boundaries of Change in Community Work

Women in Transition Crossing Boundaries Crossing Borders

Women in Transition Crossing Boundaries Crossing Borders

This volume brings together scholars students and writers as well as artists from around the world. By choosing a thematic focus on transition in women’s lives we present research on women who have crossed biological geopolitical and political borders as well as emotional sexual cultural and linguistic boundaries. The international approach brings together different cultures and genres in order to emphasize the links and connections that bind women together rather than those which separate them. The chapters consider the ways in which the changes and transitions women undergo influence the world we live in. We are particularly interested in the idea of crossing borders and how this influences identity and belonging and the theme of crossing boundaries in the context of motherhood as well as sexual orientation. The topic is timely given the waves of migration all around the world in recent times. The contributors deal with issues central to contemporary life such as gender equality and women’s empowerment as well as understanding women’s identities and being sensitive to fluid concepts of gender and sexuality. | Women in Transition Crossing Boundaries Crossing Borders

Women Philosophers Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy

Women Philosophers Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy

Long considered ?non-philosophical ? the letters and novels of women like Catharine Macaulay Mary Wollstonecraft and George Eliot have often been omitted from the canon of the Western philosophical tradition. This unfortunate omission is corrected here through Catherine Villanueva Gardner's thorough discussion of the philosophical importance of their work. Gardner also looks carefully at why letters and novels have been considered this way since they are so prevalent in the work of women in general. Gardner argues that the devaluation or exclusion of certain forms of writing is connected to the biases that underpin the Western ethical tradition. This book is critical reading for courses in introductory philosophy and women's studies. | Women Philosophers Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy
