The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative categorisations of the neighbourhood especially by the state and the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the residents’ subjective experiences of place social divisions and (dis)honour. In this way The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis analyses how social symbolical and spatial structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology urban studies and urban history with interests in social welfare. | The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

Judaism has long derived its identity from its sacred books. The book or scroll - rather than the image or idol - has been emblematic of Jewish faith and tradition. The People of the Book presents a study of a group of Orthodox Jews all of whom live in the modern world engaged in the time-honored practice of lernen the repeated review and ritualized study of the sacred texts. In preserving one of the activities of Jewish life Samuel C. Heilman argues these are the genuine People of the Book. For two years Heilman participated in and observed five study circles in New York and Jerusalem engaged in the avocation of lernen the Talmud the great corpus of Jewish law lore and tradition. These groups made up of men who felt the ritualized study of sacred texts to be not only a religious obligation but also an appealing way to spend their evenings weekends and holidays assembled together under the guidance of a teacher to review the holy books of their people. Having become part of this world the author is able to provide first-hand observation of the workings of the study circle. Heilman's study moves beyond the merely descriptive into an analysis of the nature and meaning of activity he observed. To explain the character and appeal of the study groups he employs three concepts: drama fellowship and religion. Inherent to the life of the study circle are various sorts of drama: social dramas playing out social relationships cultural performances reenacting the Jewish world view and interactional dramas and word plays involving the intricacies of the recitation and translation process. This book will be of interest to anthropologists and those interested in the academic study of religion. | The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

Classical Heritage and European Identities The Imagined Geographies of Danish Classicism

Classical Heritage and European Identities The Imagined Geographies of Danish Classicism

Classical Heritage and European Identities examines how the heritages of classical antiquity have been used to construct European identities and especially the concept of citizenship in Denmark from the eighteenth century to the present day. It implements a critical historiographical perspective in line with recent work on the reception of classical antiquity that has stressed the dialectic relationship between past present and future. Arguing that the continuous employment and appropriation of lassical heritages in the Danish context constitutes an interesting case of an imagined geography that is simultaneously based on both national and European identities the book shows how Denmark’s imagined geography is naturalized through very distinctive uses of classical heritages within the educational and heritage sectors.

The Passing of Temporal Well-Being

The Passing of Temporal Well-Being

The philosophical study of well-being concerns what makes lives good for their subjects. It is now standard among philosophers to distinguish between two kinds of well-being:· lifetime well-being i. e. how good a person’s life was for him or her considered as a whole and· temporal well-being i. e. how well off someone was or how they fared at a particular moment in time (momentary well-being) or over a period of time longer than a moment but shorter than a whole life say a day month year or chapter of a life (periodic well-being). Many theories have been offered of each of these kinds of well-being. A common view is that lifetime well-being is in some way constructed out of temporal well-being. This book argues that much of this literature is premised on a mistake. Lifetime well-being cannot be constructed out of temporal well-being because there is no such thing as temporal well-being. The only genuine kind of well-being is lifetime well-being. The Passing of Temporal Well-Being will prove essential reading for professional philosophers especially in moral and political philosophy. It will also be of interest to welfare economists and policy-makers who appeal to well-being

Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well

This book focuses on the question of how to understand quality use of research evidence in education or what it means to use research evidence well. Internationally there are widespread efforts to increase the use of research evidence within educational policy and practice. Such efforts raise important questions about how we understand not just the quality of evidence but also the quality of its use. To date there has been wide-ranging debate about the former but very little dialogue about the latter. Based on a five-year study with schools and school systems in Australia this book sheds new light on: why clarity about quality of use is critical to educational improvement; how quality use of research evidence can be framed in education; what using research well involves and looks like in practice; what quality research use means for individuals organisations and systems; and what aspects of using research well still need to be better understood. This book will be an invaluable resource for professionals within and beyond education who want to better understand what using research evidence well means and involves and how it can be supported. | Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education What It Means to Use Research Well
