The Ecology of Everyday Things

The Ecology of Everyday Things

Nature is all around us in the beautiful but also in the unappealing and functional and from the awe-inspiring to the mundane. It is vital that we learn to see the agency of the natural world in all things that make our lives possible comfortable and profitable. The Ecology of Everyday Things pulls back the veil of our familiarity on a range of ‘everyday things’ that surround us and which we perhaps take too much for granted. This key into the magic world of the everyday can enable us to take better account of our common natural inheritance. Professor James Longhurst Assistant Vice Chancellor University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) For many people ecosystems may be a remote concept yet we eat drink breathe and interface with them in every moment of our lives. In this engaging textbook ecosystems scientist Dr. Mark Everard considers a diversity of ‘everyday things’ including fascinating facts about their ecological origins: from the tea we drink to the things we wear read and enjoy to the ecology of communities and space flight and the important roles played by germs and ‘unappealing creatures’ such as slugs and wasps. In today’s society we are so umbilically connected to ecosystems that we fail to notice them and this oversight blinds us to the unsustainability of everyday life and the industries and policy environment that supports it. The Ecology of Everyday Things takes the reader on an enlightening fascinating voyage of discovery all the while soundly rooted in robust science. It will stimulate awareness about how connected we all are to the natural world and its processes and how important it is to learn to better treat our environment. Ideal for use in undergraduate- and school-level teaching it will also interest educate engage and enthuse a wide range of less technical audiences.

Everyday Soviet Utopias Planning Design and the Aesthetics of Developed Socialism

Everyday Soviet Utopias Planning Design and the Aesthetics of Developed Socialism

This book explores how intellectuals of the later Soviet decades – the 1970s and 1980s – sought to bring about the socialist utopian world. It argues that the last two decades of the Soviet Union were not characterised by state withdrawal and malaise as some scholars have argued; attempts to envisage and enact Utopia remained as imaginative and creative as ever. The book considers what these utopian ideas looked like through housing schemes layouts of districts and cities design of objects and interiors and proposals for the organisation of family and social life. Relating developments in the Soviet Union to evolving social theory and postmodernism more broadly the book draws transnational parallels between the intellectual history of east and west in the late twentieth century. | Everyday Soviet Utopias Planning Design and the Aesthetics of Developed Socialism

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men Autoethnographies of the Ordinary

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men Autoethnographies of the Ordinary

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men draws on the expertise of 12 contributors from different countries and fields writing from an autoethnographic first-person approach. Putting the power of personal stories at the centre of the construction of sophisticated narratives of gay men’s lives the accounts draw attention to the limits of traditional perspectives to gay men’s studies that look at gayness through a sexualised lens and explore how gay men make sense of their identity in their everyday lives. Together they present a complex nuanced understanding of gayness and challenge the conception of ‘being gay’ as a sexual orientation because it describes in sexual terms an identity that is not only not always and not predominantly sexual. The authors come from a variety of fields including counselling studies and sociology to communication religion and education. The innovative approach of The Everyday Lives of Gay Men makes it ideal for students and scholars in gender studies sexuality studies sociology mental health and research methods.

The European Union and Everyday Statebuilding The Case of Kosovo

The European Union and Everyday Statebuilding The Case of Kosovo

This book examines the European Union’s everyday statebuilding practices using the case of Kosovo as an example of how it uses informal practices to influence local actors. The objective of the book is to explain how the EU operates as a statebuilding actor in the everyday context outside its zone of comfort. It illustrates the EU’s dynamics of dealing with the local actors through everyday practices which are understood as informal means or practices of interaction with the local actors in the framework of three key issues of relevance for statebuilding process for the EU: rule of law reforming public administration and resolving bilateral disputes. The book shows how the EU utilizes everyday practices to influence decision-making process on the part of the government in order to ensure a particular outcome be that diffusing a norm or promoting its own interests; in doing so it gives an important insight into what these interests actually are in practice. In providing an insight into how the EU works as a statebuilding actor in practice in the everyday context it unmasks factors that facilitate the EU’s influence on other countries that it considers to be ‘ailing’ such as Kosovo in order to secure desired behaviours decisions and actions on the part of the local government. It also unmasks the EU’s commitment to being an ethical actor by unearthing practices that undermine local agency the practical intentions of the EU’s statebuilding intervention approaches and the reality that hides behind the façade of public statements on the part of the EU and the local government. In doing so the book provides a new way to look at the EU as a statebuilding actor. This book will be of interest to students of statebuilding EU policy Balkan politics and International Relations. | The European Union and Everyday Statebuilding The Case of Kosovo

The Performance of Law Everyday Lawyering at the Intersection of Advocacy and Imagination

The Performance of Law Everyday Lawyering at the Intersection of Advocacy and Imagination

This book considers how law is always enacted or performed in ways that can be analyzed in relation to fiction theatre and other dramatic forms. Of necessity lawyers and judges need to devise techniques to make rules respond situationally. The performance of law supplements or it extends the reach of the law-as-written. And in this respect the act of lawyering is in many ways an instantiation of acts often associated with for example literature and the plastic and performing arts. Combining legal theory and legal practice this book maintains that the modes of enquiry found in and applied to novels paintings and plays can help us understand how things like legal arguments and trials work—or don’t. As such and through the examination of a wide range of both historical and fictional legal cases the book pursues an interdisciplinary analysis of how law is performed; and moreover how legal performances can be accomplished ethically. This book will appeal to scholars and students in sociolegal studies legal theory and jurisprudence as well as those teaching and training in legal practice. | The Performance of Law Everyday Lawyering at the Intersection of Advocacy and Imagination

Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

Rhetorical Realism responds to the surging interest in nonhumans across the humanities by exploring how realist commitments have historically accompanied understandings of rhetoric from antiquity to the present. For a discipline that often defines itself according to human speech and writing the nonhuman turn poses a number of challenges and opportunities for rhetoric. To date many of the responses to the nonhuman turn in rhetoric have sought to address rhetoric’s compatibility with new conceptions of materiality. In Rhetorical Realism Scot Barnett extends this work by transforming it into a new historiographic methodology attuned to the presence and occlusion of things in rhetorical history. Through investigations of rhetoric’s place in Aristotelian metaphysics the language invention movement of the seventeenth century and postmodern conceptions of rhetoric as an epistemic art Barnett’s study expands the scope of rhetorical inquiry by showing how realist ideas have worked to frame rhetoric’s scope and meanings during key moments in its history. Ultimately Barnett argues that all versions of rhetoric depend upon some realist assumptions about the world. Rather than conceive of the nonhuman as a dramatic turning point in rhetorical theory Rhetorical Realism encourages rhetorical theorists to turn another eye toward what rhetoricians have always done—defining and configuring rhetoric within a broader ontology of things. | Rhetorical Realism Rhetoric Ethics and the Ontology of Things

The Culture of AI Everyday Life and the Digital Revolution

The Culture of AI Everyday Life and the Digital Revolution

In this ground-breaking book Cambridge-trained sociologist Anthony Elliott argues that much of what passes for conventional wisdom about artificial intelligence is either ill-considered or plain wrong. The reason? The AI revolution is not so much about cyborgs and super-robots in the future but rather massive changes in the here-and-now of everyday life. In The Culture of AI Elliott explores how intelligent machines advanced robotics accelerating automation big data and the Internet of Everything impact upon day-to-day life and contemporary societies. With remarkable clarity and insight Elliott’s examination of the reordering of everyday life highlights the centrality of AI to everything we do – from receiving Amazon recommendations to requesting Uber and from getting information from virtual personal assistants to talking with chatbots. The rise of intelligent machines transforms the global economy and threatens jobs but equally there are other major challenges to contemporary societies – although these challenges are unfolding in complex and uneven ways across the globe. The Culture of AI explores technological innovations from industrial robots to softbots and from self-driving cars to military drones – and along the way provides detailed treatments of: The history of AI and the advent of the digital universe; automated technology jobs and employment; the self and private life in times of accelerating machine intelligence; AI and new forms of social interaction; automated vehicles and new warfare; and the future of AI. Written by one of the world’s foremost social theorists The Culture of AI is a major contribution to the field and a provocative reflection on one of the most urgent issues of our time. It will be essential reading to those working in a wide variety of disciplines including sociology science and technology studies politics and cultural studies. | The Culture of AI Everyday Life and the Digital Revolution

Utopia and Dissent in West Germany The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s

Utopia and Dissent in West Germany The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s

Just as Chancellor Konrad Adenauer was seeking re-election on a campaign of no experiments art avant-garde groups in West Germany were reviving the utopian impulse to unite art and society. Utopia and Dissent in West Germany examines these groups and their legacy. Postwar artists built international as well as intergenerational networks such as Fluxus which was active in Düsseldorf Wiesbaden and Cologne and the Situationist International based in Paris. These groups were committed to undoing the compartmentalization of everyday life and the isolation of the artist in society. And as artists recast politics to address culture and everyday life they helped forge a path for the West German extraparliamentary left. Utopia and Dissent in West Germany traces these connections and presents a chronological map of the networks that fed into the extraparliamentary left as well as a geographical map of increasing radicalism as the locus of action shifted to West Berlin. These two maps show that in West Germany artists and their interventions in the structures of everyday life were a key starting point for challenging the postwar order. | Utopia and Dissent in West Germany The Resurgence of the Politics of Everyday Life in the Long 1960s
