Evolutionary PsychologyThe New Science of the Mind Where did we come from? What is our connection with other life forms? What are the mechanisms of mind that define what it means to be a human being? Evolutionary psychology is a revolutionary new science a true synthesis of modern principles of psychology and evolutionary biology. Since the publication of the award-winning first edition of Evolutionary Psychology there has been an explosion of research within the field. In this book David M. Buss examines human behavior from an evolutionary perspective providing students with the conceptual tools needed to study evolutionary psychology and apply them to empirical research on the human mind. This edition contains expanded coverage of cultural evolution with a new section on culture–gene co-evolution additional studies discussing interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals expanded discussions of evolutionary hypotheses that have been empirically disconfirmed and much more! Evolutionary Psychology features a wealth of student-friendly pedagogy including critical-thinking questions and case study boxes designed to show how to apply evolutionary psychology to real-life situations. It is an invaluable resource for undergraduates studying psychology biology and anthropology. See "Support Material" below for new online resources including PowerPoint slides and Instructor’s Manual and Test Bank. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138088610

Evolutionary PsychologyVolume II Evolutionary approaches to the study of human beings have been able to explain the origin and maintenance of many of the features of our bodies. Many thinkers believe that an evolutionary approach will be equally fruitful when it comes to explaining the features of our minds. Since our behaviour is driven by our minds our cognitive dispositions and processes are likely to have been a target of selection and adaptation. This volume collects recent prominent explorations of this theme as well as the voices of dissenters who argue that our minds are far more significantly the product of culture than of evolution.

Evolutionary Social Psychology What a pity it would have been if biologists had refused to accept Darwin's theory of natural selection which has been essential in helping biologists understand a wide range of phenomena in many animal species. These days to study any animal species while refusing to consider the evolved adaptive significance of their behavior would be considered pure folly--unless of course the species is homo sapiens. Graduate students training to study this particular primate species may never take a single course in evolutionary theory although they may take two undergraduate and up to four graduate courses in statistics. These methodologically sophisticated students then embark on a career studying human aggression cooperation mating behavior family relationships or altruism with little or no understanding of the general evolutionary forces and principles that shaped the behaviors they are investigating. This book hopes to redress that wrong.It is one of the first to apply evolutionary theories to mainstream problems in personality and social psychology that are relevant to a wide range of important social phenomena many of which have been shaped and molded by natural selection during the course of human evolution. These phenomena include selective biases that people have concerning how and why a variety of activities occur. For example:* information exchanged during social encounters is initially perceived and interpreted;* people are romantically attracted to some potential mates but not others;* people often guard protect and work hard at maintaining their closest relationships;* people form shifting and highly complicated coalitions with kin and close friends; and* people terminate close long-standing relationships.Evolutionary Social Psychology begins to disentangle the complex interwoven patterns of interaction that define our social lives and relationships.

Evolutionary Theories of Economic and Technological ChangePresent Status and Future Prospects Recently evolutionary theories of economic and technological change have attracted a considerable amount of attention which reflects the problems encountered by mainstream analysis of dynamic phenomena and quantitative change. This book originally published in 1991 develops the debate and draws on the concepts of evolutionary biology nonequilibrium thermodynamics systems and organization theory. While recognizing that new technology is not the cause of quantitative change the editors claim it should play a more central role in economic theory and policy. At the same time the ground is laid for a more generalized concept of innovation and experimentation and their relation to routine activities. The book is intended for economists.

Evolutionary Theory and Christian BeliefThe Unresolved Conflict Originally published in 1957. This book is concerned with the conflict between "Darwinism" as the Victorians called it and Christianity a conflict here re-stated in modern terms because it so vitally affects our understanding of human nature and human values today. The opening chapter describes the historical background. There is a short account of evolution and the argument over Genesis. The importance of natural selection is stressed and rival theories as to the means of animal evolution are criticised. Discussions follow on whether the course of evolution has been random or determined on the argument from design death in nature the biologist’s methods and the difficulties in evolutionary ethics.

Evolutionism and Its CriticsDeconstructing and Reconstructing an Evolutionary Interpretation of Human Society Evolutionism and Its Critics is a critical history of evolutionary theories in the social sciences and a defense of them against their many critics. Sanderson deconstructs not only the wide array of social evolutionary theories but the criticisms of the antievolutionists. Deconstructing evolutionary theories means laying bare their fundamental epistemological methodological conceptual and theoretical assumptions and principles. Deconstructing antievolutionism means showing just where and how the critics have for the most part gone wrong. But Evolutionism and Its Critics aims to reconstruct as well as deconstruct and does this by building on the shoulders of past giants of evolutionary theorizing a comprehensive evolutionary interpretation of human society based on abundant scientific and historical evidence.

Evolution-RevolutionPatterns of Development in Nature Society Man and Knowledge Originally published in 1971 Evolution – Revolution is an interdisciplinary volume examining inquiry around the central topic of evolution and revolution. Containing contributions from a number of eminent academics of the time the book addresses the meaning and application of evolution and revolution in the context not of what things are or even how they behave but how they become. The broad interdisciplinary range of essays explores this concept through the idea of development and change and argues that both change and development must be measured against concepts of flux and that which endures. The editors of the book suggest that these are the ‘invariants’ which contemporary thinkers are beginning to accept as the process-counterparts of Platonic ‘immutables’. Thus this volume examines the two ‘immutables’ of evolution and revolution. The book covers the concept through essays in science philosophic concepts of rationalism and existentialism art and religion. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367343583

Evolutions in Corporate GovernanceTowards an Ethical Framework for Business Conduct In a world where the implications and consequences of corporate actions and decisions are potentially far-reaching and lasting ethical standards − their observance and their breach − must be part of the language of business conduct whether in the context of corporate transgressions regulatory effectiveness terms of engagement between business and their stakeholders or the metrics used by investors in assessing performance and risk and understanding long-term value. This critically important book proposes a new paradigm for understanding developing and maintaining standards of corporate governance. Its point of departure is not a position along the diverse paths of traditional corporate governance and regulatory theory law and practice nor specific questions of how to institute implement and observe policies and practices that function as proxies for good governance. Instead it starts with the idea of framing governance generally and corporate governance specifically as a matter of conduct that is guided by a set of fundamental ideals and principles. Evolutions in Corporate Governance attempts to answer the wider question of how to re-imagine a framework within which ‘good’ corporate governance − that takes account of and is responsible for the social environmental ethical as well as legal and economic dimensions of business conduct − is addressed alongside issues of profitability and competition in the face of forces of globalization and business influence that are testing the limits of what can be accomplished by traditional law and regulation. Dempsey contends that meaningful change in behaviour will only come when there is a corporate governance framework that explicitly encompasses both law and ethics.

Evolutions of Jewish Character in British FictionNor Yet Redeemed Evolutions of Jewish Character in British Fiction: Nor Yet Redeemed builds upon recent scholarship concerning representations of Jews in the British Romantic and Victorian periods. Existing studies identify common trends or link positive Jewish portrayals to authorial interests and social movements; this volume argues that understanding developments in Jewish portrayals can be enhanced by looking at the way antecedent Jewish characters and tropes are negotiated within developing literary movements. Evolutions of Jewish Character in British Fiction examines how the contradictory nature of Jewish stereotypes combined with the Jews’ complicated entanglement of religion race and nationality presented an opportunity for writers to think about the gap between representations and individuals. The tension between stereotyping and Realist impulses leads to a diversity of Jewish types but also to an increasingly muddled sense of Jewish interests. This confusion over Jewish identity generated in turn a subgenre of texts that sought to educate readers about Jews by interrogating stereotypes and thinking about the Jews’ relationships to host cultures. In a literary landscape increasingly defined by individuality and Realism outcast and secretive Jews provided subjects ready-made to reveal the inadequacies of surfaces for understanding the interior self. The replacement of simplistic Jewish stereotypes with morally complex Jewish characters is an effect both of Realism’s valuation of interiority and of the historical movement towards expanding the definitions of British identity.

EvolveHow exceptional leaders leverage the inner voice of human evolution Leaders work hard to develop strong leadership capabilities in today’s modern organizations for the benefit of their teams and for their own careers. But sometimes conventional leadership theory fails to explain why our efforts fail to make an impact and arguably are becoming less and less successful. Why would this be? The answer lies in our evolutionary history. Leadership is integral to our success and evolution as a species as larger better functioning groups out-survived fragmented groups that did not benefit from strong leadership. Leader-follower relationships are therefore deeply ingrained in our brains our instincts and our behaviour. But our modern world with its technology connectedness and complexity has evolved much faster than our brains – and our leader-follower behaviour has not caught up. Evolve charts the fascinating development of our evolutionary history to provide a profound understanding of human behaviour around leadership. It also establishes a framework for the modes of leadership that shape the world today. Through case studies and real-world examples you will gain powerful insights into the nature of leadership now. More importantly these insights inform the actions you can take in your own life to enable you to become a more aware mindful impactful and successful leader.

Evolving Finance Trade and Investment in Asia The year 2015 witnessed significant events in the area of finance trade and investment which brought Asia to the centre of the world stage. The Trans-Pacific Partnership reached its basic agreement among the 12 member countries in October; the Chinese Yuan was included into the Special Drawing Rights basket of currencies at the International Monetary Fund in November; the ASEAN Economic Community came into force; and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank was established with the 57 founding members in December. Within and outside the region there is an urgent need to understand the underlying economic structures that brought about these events which have global implications. The Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the National University of Singapore launched a series of conferences on ‘Evolving Finance Trade and Investment in Asia’ with the aim of strengthening research capacity in Asia to influence regional policymaking. Looking forward the conference will provide an annual platform for scholars to discuss the latest findings and to disseminate them to business leaders and policymakers. This book contains scholarship presented at the inaugural international conference in September 2015 and was originally published as a special issue of the International Economic Journal.

Evolving Innovation EcosystemsA Guide to Open Idea Transformation in the Age of Future Tech While emerging technologies create massive opportunity especially for investors and companies that seek more adaptable forms of economic growth than currently available value is held inert by traditional approaches patents and other closed systems. Yet open data content and information may be the key to mass innovation for future technologies although they bring difficult challenges to private-industry models that depend on the established ideas of intellectual property. It is from this foundational observation that OpenXFORM (a blending of the words Open and the engineering abbreviation for Transformation) was developed and is explored and described in this book. The intent of the model design is to synthesize an approach to the process of innovation inspired by natural systems and human-centric design processes. OpenXFORM describes how an open system of innovation can adapt to the unregulated world of information data and content; can decompose its own information to release to the open world; and can discover ways to find the points of synergy among the studied and tested methodologies that put human relationships first. This book presents an explicit innovation process that shows how to move from a breakthrough idea through a process that encourages innovative thinkers to test their assumptions validate hypotheses and tune and tweak their ideas not only to drive solutions for users but also to meet the strategic goals of their companies. The anatomy of innovation through OpenXFORM contains the process for moving ideas from a flight of fancy to an explicit concept that is ready to produce.

Evolving Lacanian Perspectives for Clinical PsychoanalysisOn Narcissism Sexuation and the Phases of Analysis in Contemporary Culture This book presents an evolving Lacanian reading of the psychoanalytic theory of narcissism of the phases within Oedipus transference and within different types of analytic treatments. Sexual difference between psychical masculinity and femininity is formulated as a negative dialectic: both sexes are not without having and not having the phallus across levels of logical organization and the three registers of experience. Many clinical examples and vignettes are offered to illustrate Lacanian theory the permutations within sexuation as well as the various principles of Lacanian clinical practice.The Lacanian multiform criterion for the practice of psychoanalysis is presented as an alternative to the post-Freudian notions of a standard frame or a holding environment. The criterion extends the use of psychoanalysis to a larger group of clinical socio-economic and multicultural populations. Finally the book explores the criteria used for the authorization of the analyst and how supervision differs from analysis and from the teacher-student and lover-beloved relationships.

Evolving PartnershipsA Guide to Working with Business for Greater Social Change By bringing together their respective competencies and resources for the greater good governments business civil society and multilateral agencies have been seeking innovative ways to work together to respond to the myriad global challenges of our time: the impact of climate change; human security; the prevention care and treatment of HIV/AIDS and other major diseases; the generation of new investment entrepreneurship and employment; and financing for development. The appetite for such partnerships appears strong. Over 90% of corporate executives responding to a World Economic Forum survey felt that future partnerships between business government and civil society would play either a major role or some role in addressing key development challenges. This trend will only be increased by the Western financial crisis and the retreat of the state from many areas of societal concern.  In the last 15 years many new partnerships have been formed and many new people exposed to partnership ways of working. There have been remarkable successes but also a range of concerns about effectiveness and accountability. Partnerships can work but can they work better? Many practitioners are now asking how they can achieve a greater scale of impact to match the magnitude of the social and environmental challenges we face. When considering how to equip their organization or programme with the necessary skills to engage with companies in new ways many leaders of NGOs or UN agencies hire staff from the private sector. Although such staff exchanges are important it is not sufficient to rely on private-sector staff to develop and implement strategic forms of engagement. Rather engaging business for social change is a specialism in itself. This book seeks to distil some of the author's 15 years of experience and key learnings on the advanced strategic planning of partnerships for people who work within civil society or public-sector organizations and who already partner with companies.  Much of the research focus to date has been on operational issues rather than on the strategic challenge of evolving partnerships to achieve a greater scale of impact. Rather than helping the reader with moving on from partnerships this guidebook is intended to help with moving up to a greater scale of impact. The author identifies three generations in the evolution of cross-sector partnering and draws insights from the latest biological evolutionary theory on how complex systems can sustain themselves over time translating this into a method for understanding and assessing partnering practice.  Evolving Partnerships provides a rich and accessible mix of commentary boxes for clarification and 11 exercises to help the reader evolve partnering to achieve a wider level of impact – a level that responds to the scale depth and urgency of the challenges we face today.  Written by one of the world's leading authorities on partnerships and a key architect of global partnerships including the Marine Stewardship Council Evolving Partnerships will be essential reading for all those involved in cross-sectoral partnerships.

Evolving Public Space in South AfricaTowards Regenerative Space in the Post-Apartheid City Evolving Public Space in South Africa discusses the transformation of public space highlighted in the country. Drawing on examples from major cities  the author demonstrates that these spaces are not only becoming wasted space but are also adapting and evolving to accommodate new users and uses in various parts of the city. This process of evolution tends to challenge the more traditional visions and general global views of declining public space in cities and argues that it rather resembles the resilience of these spaces and the potential for regeneration through continuously emerging and mutating forms functions and meanings. Including over 20 black-and-white images this book would be beneficial to academics and students of urban planning and design and those interested in the regeneration of cities.

Evolving WorkEmploying Self and Community The idea of Self and the authenticity of particular identities have been rapidly dissolving in the acids of post-modern globalising capitalism. The hegemony of patterns of work wage-labor and the operation of labour markets in the American West (and European North) has ridden rough-shod over distinctive ways of enabling communities to flourish in many parts of the Southern and Eastern worlds (Global South). But this is not inevitable. Indeed as this book indicates there are many practical examples across the globe – that connect with some of the most significant theoretical challenges to the operation of dehumanising work – which reveal that a profound reversal is taking place. As such the core theme of this book is to show that a movement is occurring whereby self-employment can be transformed into communal work that employs the Self in ways that release the authentic vocations of people individually and collectively. The approach taken in these chapters traverses the globe utilising the original ‘integral worlds’ model that will be familiar to students of the Trans4M/Routledge Transformation and Innovation series developed over more than a decade. Such a standpoint points the way to the release of particular social and economic cultures in each of what we term the four "realities" or "worldviews" of South East North and Western worlds. In this book we use the methodology of GENEalogy – identifying the realms associated with each world – to show how the rhythms that is Grounding Emergence Navigation and Effect of each is leading to greater economic social and spiritual freedom for individuals organisations communities and indeed entire societies.

E-Voting Case LawA Comparative Analysis E-voting is the use of electronic means in the casting of the vote at political elections or referendums. This book provides an overview of e-voting related case-law worldwide and explains how judicial decisions impact e-voting development. With contributions by renowned experts on thirteen countries the authors discuss e-voting both from controlled environments such as voting machines in polling stations and uncontrolled ones including internet voting. Each chapter examines a group of country-specific leading judicial decisions on e-voting and their likely impact on its future development. Reference is made to emerging standards on e-voting such as the Recommendation Rec(2004)11 of the Council of Europe the only international instrument on e-voting regulation and to other countries' case-law. The work provides a broader informative and easily accessible perspective on the historical political and legal aspects of an otherwise very technical subject and contributes to a better understanding of the significance of case law and its impact in shaping e-voting's future development. The book will be significantly useful to anyone with an interest in e-voting in particular decision makers and officials researchers and academia as well as NGOs and providers of e-voting solutions.

Exact Solutions and Invariant Subspaces of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations in Mechanics and Physics Exact Solutions and Invariant Subspaces of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations in Mechanics and Physics is the first book to provide a systematic construction of exact solutions via linear invariant subspaces for nonlinear differential operators. Acting as a guide to nonlinear evolution equations and models from physics and mechanics the book focuses on the existence of new exact solutions on linear invariant subspaces for nonlinear operators and their crucial new properties.This practical reference deals with various partial differential equations (PDEs) and models that exhibit some common nonlinear invariant features. It begins with classical as well as more recent examples of solutions on invariant subspaces. In the remainder of the book the authors develop several techniques for constructing exact solutions of various nonlinear PDEs including reaction-diffusion and gas dynamics models thin-film and Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations nonlinear dispersion (compacton) equations KdV-type and Harry Dym models quasilinear magma equations and Green-Naghdi equations. Using exact solutions they describe the evolution properties of blow-up or extinction phenomena finite interface propagation and the oscillatory changing sign behavior of weak solutions near interfaces for nonlinear PDEs of various types and orders. The techniques surveyed in Exact Solutions and Invariant Subspaces of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations in Mechanics and Physics serve as a preliminary introduction to the general theory of nonlinear evolution PDEs of different orders and types.

Exactly Solvable Models of Biological Invasion Much of our current knowledge on biological invasion was derived from field studies but many recent advances relied heavily on mathematics and computing particularly mathematical modeling. While numerical simulations are clearly a useful approach they have some serious drawbacks. Approximations errors and the number of parameter values can have a significant impact on the simulation results the extent of which often remains obscure. Such difficulties do not arise however when the problem can be solved analytically.Exactly Solvable Models of Biological Invasion demonstrates the advantages and methods of obtaining exact solutions of partial differential equations that describe nonlinear problems encountered in the study of invasive species spread. With emphasis on PDEs of diffusion-reaction type the authors present a comprehensive collection of exactly solvable models and a unified self-contained description of the relevant mathematical methods. In doing so they also provide new insight into important issues such as the impact of the Allee effect the impact of predation and the interplay between different modes of species dispersal. Full calculation details make this presentation accessible to biologists as well as applied mathematicians and a range of ecological examples and applications demonstrate the utility of exact methods in practice.Exact solutions provide an immediate complete description of system dynamics for a wide class of initial conditions and serve as a convenient tool for testing numerical algorithms and codes used in more specialized studies. This book lays the groundwork for bringing the power of exactly solvable models to bear on real-world ecological problems. Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9780367392413

Examining InjusticeFoundational Structural and Epistemic Issues The past several decades have witnessed a surge in critiques of justice theory by gender race disability post-colonial non-Western and other anti-oppression theorists. These theorists tend to reject ideal theory and instead engage in ‘theorizing’ that takes the details of people’s lives to be central to understanding and alleviating injustices. These theorists reveal injustices emerging from norms assumed in mainstream justice theory and uncover them to challenge liberal accounts of moral reasoning and responsibility rooted in individualist conceptions of the self. Instead they defend a relational conception of selves as born into relationships and shaped by norms institutions and structures that determine needs opportunities and life prospects differently for different people and groups. Attention to real world circumstances of injustice reveals inequalities in power between developed and developing countries; former colonizers and those colonized within and across nations; and the powerful and marginalized/oppressed where racism classism sexism heterosexism and so on still prevail. This volume sets out to examine a range of injustices emerging from and shaped by histories and contexts of patriarchy racism colonialism capitalism and so on. These are the kinds of injustices that affect the lives and well-being of people at the global national and local levels. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Ethics and Social Welfare journal. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367587147

Examining Japan's Lost Decades This book examines five features of Japan’s ‘Lost Decades’: the speed of the economic decline in Japan compared to Japan’s earlier global prowess; a rapidly declining population; considerable political instability and failed reform attempts; shifting balances of power in the region and changing relations with Asian neighbouring nations; and the lingering legacy of World War Two. Addressing the question of why the decades were lost this book offers 15 new perspectives ranging from economics to ideology and beyond. Investigating problems such as the risk-averse behaviour of Japan’s bureaucracy and the absence of strong political leadership the authors analyse how the delay of ‘loss-cutting policies’ led to the 1997 financial crisis and a state of political gridlock where policymakers could not decide on firm strategies that would benefit national interests. To discuss the rebuilding of Japan the authors argue that it is first essential to critically examine Japan’s ‘Lost Decades’ and this book offers a comprehensive overview of Japan’s recent 20 years of crisis. The book reveals that the ‘Lost Decades’ is not an issue unique to the Japanese context but has global relevance and its study can provide important insights into challenges being faced in other mature economies. With chapters written by some of the world’s leading Japan specialists and chapters focusing on a variety of disciplines this book will be of interest to students and scholars in the areas of Japan studies Politics International Relations Security Studies Government Policy and History.

Examining Political ViolenceStudies of Terrorism Counterterrorism and Internal War Security is undermined worldwide from political dissident activity and acts of terrorism targeted at innocent victims with no relation to the offenders. This political violence and terrorism plagues all continents and does not originate solely from jihadist groups. With a view towards developing more effective measures of prevention and resolution Examining Political Violence: Studies of Terrorism Counterterrorism and Internal War examines political violence in various national and international settings. A collection of works some previously published as articles in the journal Police Practice and Research the book provides both conceptual analysis and case studies exploring historical and sociopolitical contexts of conflicts in order to help readers better understand these themes.Divided into three parts the book begins by defining the concepts of terrorism and radicalization. It discusses countering terrorism through intelligence gathering examines how a multiagency approach is necessary to be prepared for terrorist acts and examines different policing models. It discusses the experiences of policing agencies’ investigations into terrorist groups and examines the targeting of police officers by terrorist groups.Specifying the historical and sociopolitical contexts of conflicts is essential for understanding these themes. Control policies must be grounded in empirical realities not ideological preferences or aversions. Bringing together theoretical concepts examined through operational and empirical findings the book is written by academics researching the areas as well as practitioners working in the fields of counterterrorism and political violence. The conclusions drawn from these findings may assist in combating terrorism and political violence around the world. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367868208

Examining WhitenessReading Clarice Lispector Through Bessie Head and Toni Morrison "Critics consider Clarice Lispector the leading female writer in the Brazilian literary canon. Her connections with the nation however seem to magically disappear as her work is analysed. This paradox is the starting point for this analysis of the works of an author who - despite being born in the Ukraine - grew up to be an irreplacable presence in Brazilian literature. Non-Brazilian authors such as the South African Bessie Head and the North American Toni Morrison provide triggering concepts to help tackle a blind-spot in Brazilian culture: the issue of racial difference. From this new perspective overlooked black characters in Lispector's work become crucial and relevant and whiteness emerges as an unexamined set of norms."

Examples and Their Role in Our Thinking This book investigates the role and significance that examples play in shaping arguments and thought both in philosophy and in everyday life. It addresses questions about how our moral thinking is informed by our conceptual practices especially in ways related to the relationship between ethics and literature post-Wittgensteinian ethics or meta-philosophical concerns about the style of philosophical writing. Written in an accessible and non-technical style the book uses examples from real-life events or pieces of well-known fictional stories to introduce its discussions. In doing so it demonstrates the complex way examples rather than exemplifying philosophical points inform and condition how we approach the points for which we want to argue. The author shows how examples guide or block our understanding in certain directions how they do this by stressing morally relevant aspects or dimensions of the terms and how the sense of moral seriousness allows us to learn from examples. The final chapter explores whether these kinds of engagement with examples can be understood as "thinking primarily through examples." Examples and Their Role in Our Thinking will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in ethics and moral philosophy philosophy of language and philosophy of literature.

Exascale Scientific ApplicationsScalability and Performance Portability From the Foreword:"The authors of the chapters in this book are the pioneers who will explore the exascale frontier. The path forward will not be easy... These authors along with their colleagues who will produce these powerful computer systems will with dedication and determination overcome the scalability problem discover the new algorithms needed to achieve exascale performance for the broad range of applications that they represent and create the new tools needed to support the development of scalable and portable science and engineering applications. Although the focus is on exascale computers the benefits will permeate all of science and engineering because the technologies developed for the exascale computers of tomorrow will also power the petascale servers and terascale workstations of tomorrow. These affordable computing capabilities will empower scientists and engineers everywhere."— Thom H. Dunning Jr. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and University of Washington Seattle Washington USA"This comprehensive summary of applications targeting Exascale at the three DoE labs is a must read."— Rio Yokota Tokyo Institute of Technology Tokyo Japan"Numerical simulation is now a need in many fields of science technology and industry. The complexity of the simulated systems coupled with the massive use of data makes HPC essential to move towards predictive simulations. Advances in computer architecture have so far permitted scientific advances but at the cost of continually adapting algorithms and applications. The next technological breakthroughs force us to rethink the applications by taking energy consumption into account. These profound modifications require not only anticipation and sharing but also a paradigm shift in application design to ensure the sustainability of developments by guaranteeing a certain independence of the applications to the profound modifications of the architectures: it is the passage from optimal performance to the portability of performance. It is the challenge of this book to demonstrate by example the approach that one can adopt for the development of applications offering performance portability in spite of the profound changes of the computing architectures."— Christophe Calvin CEA Fundamental Research Division Saclay France"Three editors one from each of the High Performance Computer Centers at Lawrence Berkeley Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories have compiled a very useful set of chapters aimed at describing software developments for the next generation exa-scale computers. Such a book is needed for scientists and engineers to see where the field is going and how they will be able to exploit such architectures for their own work. The book will also benefit students as it provides insights into how to develop software for such computer architectures. Overall this book fills an important need in showing how to design and implement algorithms for exa-scale architectures which are heterogeneous and have unique memory systems. The book discusses issues with developing user codes for these architectures and how to address these issues including actual coding examples.’ — Dr. David A.

Excavating PilgrimageArchaeological Approaches to Sacred Travel and Movement in the Ancient World This volume sheds new light on the significance and meaning of material culture for the study of pilgrimage in the ancient world focusing in particular on Classical and Hellenistic Greece the Roman Empire and Late Antiquity. It thus discusses how archaeological evidence can be used to advance our understanding of ancient pilgrimage and ritual experience. The volume brings together a group of scholars who explore some of the rich archaeological evidence for sacred travel and movement such as the material footprint of different activities undertaken by pilgrims the spatial organization of sanctuaries and the wider catchment of pilgrimage sites as well as the relationship between architecture art and ritual. Contributions also tackle both methodological and theoretical issues related to the study of pilgrimage sacred travel and other types of movement to from and within sanctuaries through case studies stretching from the first millennium BC to the early medieval period.

Excavating the Medieval ImageManuscripts Artists Audiences: Essays in Honor of Sandra Hindman Medieval images especially manuscript illuminations have long been treated independently of the contexts in which they were created. These beautiful miniature paintings frequently valued as keepers of documentary evidence or as curious artistic commodities have only recently become the focus of art historians concerned with new questions related to artistic working methods audience and the status of the visual in the Middle Ages and the modern era. Excavating the Medieval Image argues that the illuminated image is best understood as thoroughly integrated in the material context of the manuscript - and thus integrated in a cultural context of production and reception. Seen in this way the illuminated manuscript becomes a kind of archaeological site which must be carefully unearthed layer by layer. The fourteen essays gathered here are written by scholars of both medieval and Renaissance art history and demonstrate varied methodological approaches that combine the pursuits of traditional connoisseurship and iconography with those of critical theory and historiography. In addition the authors contribute more broadly to important interdisciplinary issues such as the study of gender text and image and the history of literacy and the book.

Excavating the Power of Memory in Japan Excavating the power of memory offers a succinct examination of how memory is constructed embedded and disseminated in contemporary Japanese society. The unique range and perspective of this collection will provide an understanding not found elsewhere. It starts with a lucid introduction of how memory plays a political and wider social role in Japan. Four case studies follow. The first takes up the divergence in memory at the national and subnational levels by analysing the memory of the battle of Okinawa and US military accidents in Okinawa prefecture illuminating how memory in the prefecture embeds Okinawans as victims of mainland Japan and of the United States. The second explores whether Japan’s membership of the International Criminal Court represents a shift in the Japanese government’s negative remembrance of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East demonstrating how both courts are largely portrayed as being disconnected in political debates. The third offers an analysis of the surviving letters of the Kamikaze pilots in order to interrogate and compare their presumed identity in the dominant collective memory and their own self-identities. The fourth untangles how the ‘memory of winds’ in Japanese fishing communities remains an expression of social thought that presides over the ‘transmission of meaning’ about fishermen's geographical surroundings. This book was previously published as a special issue of the Japan Forum. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367023904

Excavating WomenA History of Women in European Archaeology Archaeologists are increasingly aware of issues of gender when studying past societies; women are becoming better represented within the discipline and are attaining top academic posts. However until now there has been no study undertaken of the history of women in European archaeology and their contribution to the development of the discipline. Excavating Women discusses the careers of women archaeologists such as Dorothy Garrod Hanna Rydh and Marija Gimbutas who against all odds became famous as well as the many lesser-known personalities who did important archaeological work. The collection spans the earliest days of archaeology as a discipline to the present telling the stories of women from Scandinavia Mediterranean Europe Britain France Germany and Poland. The chapters examine women's contributions to archaeology in the context of other often socio-political factors that affected their lives. It examines issues such as women's increased involvement in archaeological work during and after the two World Wars and why so many women found it more acceptable to work outside of their native lands. This critical assessment of women in archaeology makes a major contribution to the history of archaeology. It reveals how selective the archaeological world has been in recognizing the contributions of those who have shaped its discipline and how it has been particularly inclined to ignore the achievements of women archaeologists. Excavating Women is essential reading for all students teachers and researchers in archaeology who are interested in the history of their discipline and its sociopolitics.

Excavations at a Templar Preceptory South Witham Lincolnshire 1965-67 "The excavations at South Witham in Lincolnshire produced the most complete archaeological plan of the preceptory of the Military Orders so far seen in Britain. Before 1965 there had been only limited investigation of Knights Templar houses and evidence for day-to-day activities was almost non-existent. Never before had the different components of a preceptory been examined in detail using modern archaeological techniques. This monograph presents the final publication of results beginning with separate chapters dedicated to the three main phases of occupation.Land in South Witham was first acquired by the Templars between 1137 and 1185 and thereafter a series of buildings was constructed throughout the late 12th and 13th centuries.

Excavations at Dryslwyn Castle 1980-1995 "Excavations at Dryslwyn between 1980 and 1995 uncovered a masonry castle founded in the late 1220s by Rhys Gryg for his son Maredudd ap Rhys the first Lord of Dryslwyn. The first castle was a simple round tower and polygonal walled enclosure within which were constructed a kitchen prison and wood-framed clay-floored great chamber beside a great hall. In the mid 13th century a second ward was added and the great chamber rebuilt in stone. This castle was greatly expanded in the period 1283-87 by Rhys ap Maredudd the second and final Lord of Dryslwyn who built an Outer Ward and gatehouse. He also rebuilt much of the Inner Ward adding an extra storey to the great hall and great chamber apartments and a chapel. At the end of the 13th century a large three-ward castle stretched along the eastern and southern edge of the hill while the rest of the hilltop was occupied by a settlement defended by a wall and substantial ditch with access through a gatehouse. This castle and its associated settlement were besieged and captured in 1287 by an English royal army of over 11 000 men following damage inflicted by a trebuchet and mining of the walls. Throughout the 14th century the English Crown garrisoned and repaired the castle supervised by an appointed constable before it was surrendered to Owain Glyn Dwr in 1403. During the early to mid 15th century the castle was deliberately walled up to deny its use to a potential enemy and it was subsequently looted and demolished. By the late 13th century the castle had a white rendered and lime-washed appearance creating a very dramatic and highly visible symbol of lordship. Internally the lord's and guest apartments had decorative wall paintings and glazed windows. Evidence from charred beams still in situ the sizes shapes and distribution of nails sheet lead slates and postholes recovered during excavation has enabled some of the wooden as well as masonry buildings to be reconstructed. Waterlogged deposits had preserved a rich assemblage of seeds birds fish and animal bone which reveal evidence of the dining habits of Welsh lords their guests and household. Of particular interest are the finds associated with the siege of 1287 which include a knop-headed mace spearheads and armour-piercing arrowheads which indicates that the longbow was the weapon of choice. Damage and repairs to the castle walls correlate with historic accounts while three stone balls recovered by the excavation were undoubtedly thrown by the trebuchet recorded in contemporary accounts."

Excavations at Hulton Abbey Staffordshire 1987-1994 "Hulton Abbey was a minor Cistercian monastery in north Staffordshire (England) founded in 1219 and finally dissolved in 1538. This is the final report on the archaeological excavations undertaken there between 1987 and 1994. In particular the chapter house was uncovered and re-assessed and the eastern part of the church and north aisle were completely excavated together with the eastern half of the nave. The excavations are described by area and chronological phase with detailed specialist reports including architectural stonework and decorated floor tiles. An extensive programme of sampling and analysis of pollen remains from burials was also completed. The remains of 91 individuals mainly men but also women and children are reported on in detail with sections on abnormalities and pathology as well as medieval burial goods such as a wax chalice and wooden wands. Comparisons with other published monastic sites in the region help to place Hulton into a wider context. An important element of the project was education and community involvement and today the site lies in a small urban park in Stoke-on-Trent." Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781351196475

Excellence Beyond ComplianceEstablishing a Medical Device Quality System Many companies limp along from day-to-day treating the quality side of the business as a necessary evil and doing only what is minimally necessary for compliance to regulations. This kind of approach to compliance almost always results in inefficiencies and sometimes can result in a curious kind of noncompliance. Documentation created with compliance as the sole consideration often ends up confusing the employees who must use the documentation. This book looks beyond what is necessary for compliance alone to address what makes a quality management system (QMS) both effective and efficient. This book also never forgets that real people must make any QMS work; the book provides a blueprint for creating a QMS that real people will find useful. After a review of the challenges that any medical device company faces in the world of today—the multiple sources of QMS requirements—the book poses a question: are we satisfied with the QMS we have now or could we do better? If we want to do better this book can help. This book offers: Advice that will lead to an effective and efficient QMS. Detailed guidance on the key decisions to be made regarding the quality system being established. Detailed ideas on how to execute those decisions. Up-to-date information on compliance to current regulations and standards and guidance on staying up to date. Specific examples of procedures. Information regarding requirements for combination products such as a drug + device combination. Advice on incorporating risk management in the QMS.

Very few firms have succeeded in building excellent supply chains and employing supply chain management (SCM) as a competitive advantage. For the ones which have developed enhanced supply chain design and process capabilities their performance has far exceeded their competitors'. While for the vast majority of firms SCM still remains a means of reducing costs and improving efficiency for the excellent ones SCM has turned into a source for value creation. What factors drive firms towards supply chain excellence? How can real differentiation be created through supply chains?

Excellence through Mind-Brain DevelopmentThe Secrets of World-Class Performers Everyone seeks to attain excellence and happiness in their lives yet world-class performance is rare. Research shows that education accounts for only 1 per cent of performance levels work experience only 3 per cent and age in adults 0 per cent. Dr Harald S. Harung and Dr Frederick Travis looked deeply and unearthed the secret of world-class performance: Excellence in any profession or activity depends on the single variable of high mind-brain development. By mind-brain development the authors refer to a much more comprehensive transformation than what is commonly understood - they are talking about a sequence of fundamental shifts to new realities in the way our brain functions and in the way we look upon ourselves others and the world. For success who we are is far more important than the knowledge skills and relationships we have and what we do - because with higher mind-brain development our knowledge and skills become more useful our relationships more enriching and our actions more effective. As part of presenting the secrets of world-class performance the book details the inspiring peak experiences that underlie top performance and how top performers have a more orderly restfully alert and economic brain than average performers. This research-based book will show you the many benefits of higher mind-brain development and how to effortlessly attain it. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367880576

Except-AfricaRemaking Development Rethinking Power It is a commonplace that the problems of African rural development are becoming increasingly complex--that is they have grown more numerous interrelated and varied. This complexity has generated a multitude of development scenarios. Such scenarios encourage decision making along rigid and narrow patterns that ignore the diversity of local situations and national cultures. Among these is the doomsday scenario applied to every nation on the continent best captured in the phrase "Everything worksàexcept in Africa." Emery Roe argues that crisis scenarios generated by an expert (usually non-African) elite are self-serving and counterproductive. Despite this they go largely unchallenged even when they fail to explain or predict. Except-Africa takes up the challenge of devising development scenarios that do justice to the continent's variegated reality.The book begins by defining what the author means by a development narrative. The subsequent chapters provide alternate scenarios to such dominant models. Chapter 2 sketches four counter-narratives to the tragedy of the common argument while chapter 3 constructs the most innovative challenge to conventional ways of thinking about Sub-Saharan pastoralism in decades. Chapter 4 develops an alternative scenario of expatriate advising in Africa while chapter 5 devises a counter-narrative to the all-too-common views about government budgeting in Nigeria Kenya and Ghana. Chapter 6 presents a case study and counter-narrative from Zimbabwe of a complex local government reform. The book concludes by moving beyond case material and specific situations to answer the most imperative question in African studies and rural development: What would a politics of complexity look like in Africa if complexity were seriously engaged?Contemporary African studies are dominated by narratives about power. Yet in African rural development power interests are by no means always clear. Development issues are frequently contingent and provisional. Surviving the tangled fusion of narrative and reality requires a politics of complexity. Except-Africa will be an essential work in meeting that challenge.

Exceptionalism and the Politics of Counter-TerrorismLiberty Security and the War on Terror This book is an analysis and critique of the concepts of ‘exception’ and ‘exceptionalism’ in the context of the politics of liberty and security in the so-called ‘War on Terror’. Since the destruction of the World Trade Centre on September 11th 2001 a notable transformation has occurred in political discourse and practice. Politicians and commentators have frequently made the argument that the rules of the game have changed that this is a new kind of war and that exceptional times require exceptional measures. Under this discourse of exceptionalism an array of measures have been put into practice such as detention without trial ‘extraordinary rendition’ derogations from human rights law sanction or connivance in torture the curtailment of civil liberties and aggressive war against international law. Situating exceptionalism within the post-9/11 controversy about the relationship between liberty and security this book argues that the problem of exceptionalism emerges from the limits and paradoxes of liberal democracy itself. It is a commentary and critique of both contemporary practices of exceptionalism and the critical debate that has formed in response. Through a detailed assessment of the key theoretical contributions to the debate this book develops exceptionalism as a critical tool. It also engages with the problem of exceptionalism as a discursive claim as a strategy as a concept as a theoretical problem and as a practice. This is the first book to capture the importance of the exceptionalism debate in a single volume and will be of much interest to students of critical security studies political philosophy IR theory and sociology.

Exceptionality in East AsiaExplorations in the Actiotope Model of Giftedness The continual successes of students from East-Asia are confirmed in a variety of international tests of academic achievement and yet despite this attainment many scholars have realised that a substantial proportion of these students are also underachieving.　 Using the actiotope model of giftedness to integrate a broad range of research this innovative book features a number of chapters written by internationally recognised scholars in a frank and lively discussion about the origins of exceptionality in students from East Asia. With the actiotope model as the theoretical framework the book distinguishes between trait models of giftedness and systems approaches to exceptionality. Breaking new ground in understanding the complex interactions between a learner’s environment goals intelligence and motivations in the development of their ever-expanding knowledge and skill set this book will: describe with examples a systems approach to the development of exceptionality allowing educators and researchers the ability to track students with greater precision; influence the means by which educators identify and support students with the potential for exceptional performance; suggest possible reasons for the variability in the achievement of potentially gifted students; provide strategies to support these students; have a profound effect on the way that exceptionality and giftedness are defined and understood not only in East Asia but also in the West. Covering issues that have firm theoretical foundations and which are based on cutting edge ideas Exceptionality in East Asia has significant implications for gifted education and is essential reading for scholars undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in the psychological and social basis of exceptionality.

Excess and Transgression in Simone de Beauvoir's FictionThe Discourse of Madness Alison Holland’s innovative book fills a gap in Beauvoir studies by focusing on the writer’s frequently neglected novels and short stories L’Invitée Les Mandarins Les Belles Images and La Femme rompue. In illuminating the density and rich complexity of Beauvoir’s style Holland challenges the often accepted view that Beauvoir’s writing is flat detached and controlled revealing rather that her prose is frequently disrupted and inflected by forceful emotion. Holland shows that excess and transgression are intrinsic qualities of the texts and argues that Beauvoir’s textual strategies duplicate madness in her fiction. Holland’s reading of Beauvoir’s fiction demonstrates the extent to which Beauvoir’s fiction undermines an ideologically patriarchal position on language. Her study is important not only for its re-evaluation of Beauvoir as a fiction writer but for its contribution to the wider debate on madness and literature.

Excess BaggageLeveling the Load and Changing the Workplace Based on groundbreaking research on the working conditions of airport check-in workers in two countries a previously unstudied category of predominantly women workers Ellen Rosskam describes a form of work characterized as modern-day Taylorism. An occupation greatly affected by new forms of work organization and management practices-caught in the throes of rapid change due to international competition alliances mergers and the application of cost-efficiency strategies-check-in work has been undermined in recent years by the adverse effects of liberalization and technological change.By peeling away the veneer of glamour associated with airport check-in work Rosskam reveals how changes in work organization in this sector have de-skilled disempowered and ultimately demoralized workers. In "Excess Baggage" weaving through the psychological distress physical pain from musculoskeletal disorders strain and violence that check-in workers experience and describe in their own words a picture emerges of a job perceived to be "safe " "clean " "glamour girl" work but which is comparable to industrial workplaces that require heavy manual lifting obligingly performed in skirts dresses and pretty little shoes.

Based on the latest research its unique approach takes into account the pharmaceutical industry healthcare policy and society to offer a wide ranging account. It is invaluable for all healthcare professionals especially managers and doctors and nurses with budgetary responsibilities. It will also be useful for researchers policy makers and shapers pharmaceutical company executives and general readers with an interest in medical expenditure. "While most discussions about the fiscal problems caused by aging societies have focused on pensions and income security the more serious landmine in the road ahead is health-care finance which will be in full-blown crisis sometime early in the next decade. That's why this book is timely. Until we learn to talk openly and honestly about what constitutes good health good health care and the best and most cost-effective way of achieving both we'll never have an affordable health-care system." - Merrill Goozner in the Foreword.

Exchange and Power in Social Life In his landmark study of exchange and power in social life Peter M. Blau contributes to an understanding of social structure by analyzing the social processes that govern the relations between individuals and groups. The basic question that Blau considers is: How does social life become organized into increasingly complex structures of associations among humans.This analysis first published in 1964 represents a pioneering contribution to the sociological literature. Blau uses concepts of exchange reciprocity imbalance and power to examine social life and to derive the more complex processes in social structure from the simpler ones. The principles of reciprocity and imbalance are used to derive such processes as power changes in group structure; and the two major forces that govern the dynamics of complex social structures: the legitimization of organizing authority of increasing scope and the emergence of oppositions along different lines producing conflict and change.

Exchange Rate Crises in Developing CountriesThe Political Role of the Banking Sector According to many economists the increasing mobility of capital across borders has made it more costly to peg exchange rates. This phenomenon has contributed to some of the more famous examples of exchange rate crises in recent times such as the Mexican peso crisis in 1994 and the Asian financial crisis in 1997. Yet despite the increasing costs of pegging in today's accelerated financial markets some developing countries try to maintain a peg for as long as they can. This work is the first to theorize the role of bankers as a domestic interest group involved in exchange rate policy. It adds to our understanding of how interest groups affect economic policy in developing countries and explains why some of the largest and fastest growing economies in the developing world were the most prone to crisis. The volume also refines our understanding of the 'hollowing-out thesis' the argument that increasing capital mobility is forcing states to abandon pegging.

Exchange Rates and Economic Policy in the 20th Century The themes of this study are the exchange rate regimes chosen by policy makers in the twentieth century the means used to maintain these regimes and the impact of these decisions on individual national economies and the world economy in general. The book draws heavily on new research showing the lessons and the legacy left for policy makers by the gold standard and the attempt at its resurrection in the 1920s. In examining issues such as the gold exchange standard the gold bullion standard the experience of floating exchange rates the Bretton Woods arrangements the EMS and the ERM and the Currency Board approach there is a conscious attempt to draw out the relevance of history for policy makers now.

Exchange Rates and Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging AsiaSelected Issues and Policy Options With the rapid growth of China and India and the resurgence of Southeast Asia post-1997–8 emerging Asia has once again become one of the most dynamic regions in the world. This dynamism has in turn been fuelled largely by a carefully calibrated embracement of economic openness to international trade investments and capital flows. While much has been written about international trade there has been somewhat less work on the issue of capital flows macroeconomic management and foreign direct investment (FDI) to and from the region a gap that this book attempts to fill. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with selected issues pertaining to macroeconomic management in small and open economies with particular focus on exchange rates. The second part of the book deals with the trends and determinants of FDI in emerging Asia its importance as a source of finance its impact on growth and development and the nexus between FDI and foreign portfolio flows (FPI). Overall the chapters in this book tackle important policy issues of contemporary relevance but are informed by analytical frameworks data and empirics. While each of the topic areas chosen in individual chapters is intentionally narrow the book as a whole covers a number of areas and countries/regions within Asia (i.e. East Southeast and South Asia). While the chapters have been written in a manner that can stand up to academic scrutiny they are also meant to be accessible to policy makers researchers and others who might be interested in FDI and related issues in Asia.

Exchange Rates and Merchandise Trade in Liberalised India This book examines the linkages between exchange rates and India’s merchandise trade since the 1990s. It looks at India’s trade in the post-liberalisation period through its two main components: commodities and trading partners and provides a bird’s eye view through aggregate analyses accompanied by a historical narrative of the evolution of trade and exchange rate dynamics. Presenting a comprehensive analysis of bilateral and product-specific trade the book explores the impact of exchange rate on labour intensive sectors and charts out major development. It also offers compelling evidence to suggest that if some commodities are identified as integral to India’s export plans then the impact of exchange rate must be weighed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prior to a market intervention. This timely volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of economics business and finance development studies trade business and industry as well as practitioners think-tanks and policy makers.

Excluded From SchoolSystemic Practice for Mental Health and Education Professionals Excluded From School exposes the reasons why despite many national and local initiatives large numbers of children continue to tax the education system to such a degree that they become permanently excluded from school. Sue Rendall and Morag Stuart draw on their experience in psychology and education to demonstrate the need for a more thorough exploration of the underlying root causes of the problem. Based on a systemic framework their approach allows the inclusion of a vast range of possible contributory factors: within the child within the family within the school and within the complex interrelations between these three systems. By demonstrating the need for inter-discipline and inter-agency collaboration the authors succeed in presenting a persuasive challenge to the blame culture which exists between schools parents and educational professionals and policymakers in relation to school exclusion. The original research presented here along with the inclusion of the experiences of children parents and teachers provides a valuable new perspective on the problem of school exclusions that will be welcomed by all professionals working in this field.

Exclusion From SchoolMulti-Professional Approaches to Policy and Practice The number of pupils excluded from school has risen sharply over the past few years. To a great extent this can be directly attributed to the increased competition between schools following the introduction of the 1988 Education Reform Act. Many schools are concerned that children with behavioural problems will damage the image of the school and so can be reluctant to admit these pupils to the classroom. However little has been done to follow up what happens to these pupils once they have been excluded from school or to examine ways in which their exclusion might be prevented. This collection written from a range of professional perspectives examines current trends in exclusion including the consequences of exclusion. It also gives practical guidance on preventative strategies based on real life experiences and examines how professionals such as teachers social workers and other support agencies can work together to help to avoid exclusion.

Excursions into ModernismWomen Writers Travel and the Body Positioned at a crossroads between feminist geographies and modernist studies Excursions into Modernism considers transnational modernist fiction in tandem with more rarely explored travel narratives by women of the period who felt increasingly free to journey abroad and redefine themselves through travel. In an era when Western artists writers and musicians sought 'primitive' ideas for artistic renewal Joyce E. Kelley locates a key similarity between fiction and travel writing in the way women authors use foreign experiences to inspire innovations with written expression and self-articulation. She focuses on the pairing of outward journeys with more inward introspective ones made possible through reconceptualizing and mobilizing elements of women’s traditional corporeal and domestic geographies: the skin the ill body the womb and the piano. In texts ranging from Jean Rhys’s Voyage in the Dark to Virginia Woolf’s The Voyage Out and from Evelyn Scott’s Escapade to Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage Kelley explores how interactions between geographic movement identity formation and imaginative excursions produce modernist experimentation. Drawing on fascinating supplementary and archival materials such as letters diaries newspaper articles photographs and unpublished drafts Kelley’s book cuts across national and geographic borders to offer rich and often revisionary interpretations of both canonical and lesser-known works.

Executing Design for Reliability Within the Product Life Cycle At an early stage of the development the design teams should ask questions such as "How reliable will my product be?" "How reliable should my product be?" And "How frequently does the product need to be repaired / maintained?" To answer these questions the design team needs to develop an understanding of how and why their products fails; then make only those changes to improve reliability while remaining within cost budget. The body of available literature may be separated into three distinct categories: "theory" of reliability and its associated calculations; reliability analysis of test or field data – provided the data is well behaved; and finally establishing and managing organizational reliability activities. The problem remains that when design engineers face the question of design for reliability they are often at a loss. What is missing in the reliability literature is a set of practical steps without the need to turn to heavy statistics. Executing Design for Reliability Within the Product Life Cycle provides a basic approach to conducting reliability-related streamlined engineering activities balancing analysis with a high-level view of reliability within product design and development. This approach empowers design engineers with a practical understanding of reliability and its role in the design process and helps design team members assigned to reliability roles and responsibilities to understand how to deploy and utilize reliability tools. The authors draw on their experience to show how these tools and processes are integrated within the design and development cycle to assure reliability and also to verify and demonstrate this reliability to colleagues and customers.

Execution by FamilyA Theory of Honor Violence Across many parts of the world violence inflicted in the name of family honor is attracting an increasing amount of attention. Family honor violence otherwise known as honor-based violence is physical force inflicted primarily on women for conduct defined as dishonorable. This book explores these conflicts of honor how they are triggered how they are handled and why some lead to death.　Drawing on a range of case studies and employing Donald Black’s concept of social geometry Execution by Family incorporates and goes beyond patriarchy culture and kinship to develop a unified theory of family honor violence. It discusses the "honor belt " a series of countries stretching from north Africa to southeast Asia in which similar forms of inequality patriarchy group authority and gerontocracy are prevalent and how within the confines of this inequality honor violence flourishes. Reviewing survey data and pointing to a multi-pronged cross-national social movement the book also discusses the future of honor-based violence.Given the growing awareness of family honor violence Execution by Family will be of interest to anybody concerned with family conflict violence crime and popular morality. It will be invaluable reading for academics and students in the fields of criminology criminal justice sociology social psychology and anthropology.

Executive ClemencyComparative and Empirical Perspectives Nearly every country in the world has a mechanism for executive clemency which though residual in most legal systems serves as a vital due process safeguard and as an outlet for leniency in punishment. While the origins of clemency lie in the historical prerogative powers of once-absolute rulers modern clemency laws and practices have evolved to be enormously varied. This volume brings comparative and empirical analysis to bear on executive clemency building a sociological and political context around systematically-collected data on clemency laws grants and decision-making. Some jurisdictions have elaborate constitutional and legal structures for pardoning or commuting a sentence while virtually never doing so while others have little formal process and yet grant clemency frequently. Using examples from Asia Europe Latin America the Caribbean and the USA this comparative analysis of the law and the practice of clemency sheds light on a frequently misunderstood executive power. This book builds on existing academic scholarship and expands the limited geographical scope of prior research which has tended to focus on North America the UK and Australia. It relays the latest state of knowledge on the topic and employs case studies doctrinal legal analysis historical research and statements by clemency decision-making authorities in explaining why clemency varies so considerably across global legal and political systems. In addition it includes contributions encompassing international law transitional justice and innocence and wrongful convictions as well as on jurisdictions that are historically under-researched. The book will be of value to practitioners academics and students interested in the fields of human rights criminal law comparative criminal justice and international relations.

Executive FunctionDevelopment Across the Life Span Executive Function: Development Across the Life Span presents perspectives from leading researchers and theorists on the development of executive function from infancy to late adulthood and the factors that shape its growth and decline. Executive function is the set of higher-order cognitive processes involved in regulating attention thoughts and actions. Relative to other cognitive domains its development is slow and decline begins early in late adulthood. As such it is particularly sensitive to variations in environments and experiences and there is growing evidence that it is susceptible to intervention – important because of its link to a wide range of important life outcomes. The volume is made up of four sections. It begins with an overview of executive function’s typical development across the lifespan providing a foundation for the remainder of the volume. The second section presents insights into mechanisms of executive function as provided by a variety of methodological approaches. The third and fourth sections review the current research evidence on specific factors that shape executive function’s development focusing on normative (e.g. bilingualism physical activity cognitive training) and clinically relevant (e.g. substance use neurodegenerative disease) developmental pathways.

Executive Functions and the Frontal LobesA Lifespan Perspective This volume has as its primary aim the examination of issues concerning executive function and frontal lobe development. While many texts have addressed these issues this is the first to do so within a specifically developmental framework. This area of cognitive function has received increasing attention over the past decade and it is now established that the frontal lobes and associated executive functions are critical for efficient functioning in daily life. It is also clear and of particular relevance to this text that these functions develop gradually through childhood and then deteriorate during old age. These developmental trajectories and the impact of any interruption to them are the focus of this volume. Media > Books > Print Books Psychology Press 9781138010024

Executive FunctionsWhat They Are How They Work and Why They Evolved This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive theory of executive functioning (EF) with important clinical implications. Synthesizing cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research Russell A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful activities of daily life. He describes how abilities such as emotion regulation self-motivation planning and working memory enable people to pursue both personal and collective goals that are critical to survival. Key stages of EF development are identified and the far-reaching individual and social costs of EF deficits detailed. Barkley explains specific ways that his model may support much-needed advances in assessment and treatment.See also Barkley's empirically based ecologically valid assessment tools: Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults) and Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale--Children and Adolescents (BDEFS-CA).

Executive Leadership and Legislative Assemblies The relationship between a head of government (head of the executive branch) and a nation's parliament or legislative assembly (the legislative branch) has long been the focus for comment and analysis - for example has the prime minister in the United Kingdom come to a position of dominance at the expense of the power of parliament? Does the American president stand head and shoulders above Congress? Is a French president master of the system? Need the Russian president pay attention to the Duma? What of the position in other parliamentary and presidential systems?In this book Baldwin seeks to provide answers and does so by drawing upon the knowledge and expertise of an international group of scholars whose essays advance our knowledge of the subject.This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies.

Executive Measures Terrorism and National SecurityHave the Rules of the Game Changed? David Bonner presents an historical and contemporary legal analysis of UK governmental use of executive measures rather than criminal process to deal with national security threats. The work examines measures of internment deportation and restriction on movement deployed in the UK and (along with the imposition of collective punishment) also in three emergencies forming part of its withdrawal from colonial empire: Cyprus Kenya and Malaya. These situations along with that of Northern Ireland are used to probe the strengths and weaknesses of ECHR supervision. It is argued that a new human rights era ushered in by a more confident Court of Human Rights and a more confident national judiciary armed with the HRA 1998 has moved us towards greater judicial scrutiny of the application of these measures - a move away from unfettered and unreviewable executive discretion.

Executive Power and Soviet Politics Ever since the behavioral revolution reached Communist studies more than 2 decades ago Western scholarship has tended to ignore the powerful and unwieldy institutional structure of the Soviet government. Today suddenly it is clear that the dramatic political and legislative reforms of the Gorbachev years will remain incomplete as long as the issues of state bureaucratic power and executive prerogative are unresolved. This volume brings together original studies of the Soviet executive under Gorbachev by specialists including Barbara Chotiner Stephen Fortescue Brnda Horrigan Ellen Jones Wayne Limberg T.H. Rigby and Louise Shelley. Among the topics covered are the major economic national security and law enforcement ministries the presidency the cabinet and questions of presidential-ministerial presidential-presidential legislative-executive and party-state relations.

Executive TalentDeveloping and Keeping the Best People This brilliant up-to-date compendium argues that the most successful factor in company life is good people: individuals who are capable competent and savvy. Can corporate life attract such people? Ginzberg argues that despite demographic dislocations and the challenges to the work ethic the answer to this question is a loud yes. In Executive Talent Ginzberg and his colleagues show how to attract train and promote a superior work force and how to take advantage of the different values in today's employees.Over 25 percent of the population currently graduates from a senior college and the number going for advanced degrees is climbing. Blacks and Hispanics together will soon account for one in every four new native-born job applicants. Women are now nearly as prevalent in the work force as men. Today's employees place more emphasis on family and leisure and less on company loyalty. In the face of these critical changes companies can no longer continue with the same human resource policies. Ginzberg offers new approaches to attract and retain superior talent.In Executive Talent Ginzberg brings together top academics and high level executives to explore the new world of work. They discuss coming trends and changes that will reshape the talent pool how these shifts will impact the individual company and ways to develop and implement a human resource strategy to meet the challenging work force of the future.

Modern corporations have become so pervasive; world populations are more dependent on them for their food services technologies work and daily well-being than ever before. This book  analyzes the twenty-first century forces challenging the executive leadership of the modern corporation. Lessons are drawn for corporate leaders facing these challenges: turbulent times balancing creators and stewards managing company culture managing by wire incorporating global virtual organization structures and managing sustained innovation. Nolan concludes with guidelines on creating a leadership agenda for transforming the corporation to successfully compete in the realities of the new corporate world of the twenty-first century.

Exegesis and Theology in Early Christianity This collection of articles first brings together a number of working papers which were significant in the development of Frances Young's understanding of patristic exegesis studies not included in her ground-breaking book Biblical Exegesis and the Formation of Christian Culture (1997) though paving the way for that work. Then comes a selection of papers on theology church order and methodology the whole collection constantly returning to themes such as the fundamental connection between theology and exegesis the significant role of reflection on language metaphor and symbol and the creative interaction of early Christianity with its cultural and intellectual environment.

Exemplarity and SingularityThinking through Particulars in Philosophy Literature and Law This book pursues a strand in the history of thought – ranging from codified statutes to looser social expectations – that uses particulars more specifically examples to produce norms. Much intellectual history takes ancient Greece as a point of departure. But the practice of exemplarity is historically rooted firmly in ancient Roman rhetoric oratory literature and law – genres that also secured its transmission. Their pragmatic approach results in a conceptualization of politics social organization philosophy and law that is derived from the concrete. It is commonly supposed that with the shift from pre-modern to modern ways of thinking – as modern knowledge came to privilege abstraction over exempla the general over the particular – exemplarity lost its way. This book reveals the limits of this understanding. Tracing the role of exemplarity from Rome through to its influence on the fields of literature politics philosophy psychoanalysis and law it shows how Roman exemplarity has subsisted not only as a figure of thought but also as an alternative way to organize and to transmit knowledge.

Exemplary SpenserVisual and Poetic Pedagogy in The Faerie Queene Exemplary Spenser analyses the didactic poetics of The Faerie Queene renewing attention to its avowed attempt to "fashion a gentleman or noble person in vertuous and gentle discipline" and examining how Spenser mobilises his pedagogic concerns through the reading experience of the poem. Grogan's investigation shows how Spenser transacts the public life of the nation heuristically prompting a reflective reading experience that compels engagement with other readers other texts and other political communities. Negotiating between competing pedagogical traditions she shows how Spenser's epic challenges the more conservative prevailing impulses of humanist pedagogy to espouse a radical didacticism capable of inventing a more active and responsible reader. To this end Grogan examines a wide variety of Spenser's techniques and sources including Philip Sidney's Defence of Poesy and the powerful visually-couched epistemological paradigms of early modern culture ekphrasis among them. Importantly Grogan examines how Spenser's didactic poetics was crucially shaped by readings of the Greek historian Xenophon's Cyropaedia a text and influence previously overlooked by critics. Grogan concludes by reading the last book of The Faerie Queene the Legend of Courtesy as an attempt to reconcile his own didactic sources and poetics with the more recent tastes of his contemporaries for a courtesy theory less concerned with "vertuous and gentle discipline". Returning to the early modern reading experience Grogan shows the sophisticated intertextual dexterity that goes into reading Spenser where Spenserian pedagogy lies not simply in the textual body of the poem but also in the act of reading it.

Exemplary Teachers of Students in Poverty Education and poverty exist in a highly contested relationship even in the developed world. On the one hand educational outcomes seem solidly attached to socio-economic status and on the other education is often cited as a way out of poverty. Success at de-coupling poverty from educational outcomes varies across the developed world. The issues connecting education and poverty are complex but the question of the successful engagement of students from poor backgrounds involves a complex mix of public policy on poverty public policy on education and teacher action. This book focuses on a number of exemplary teachers who demonstrate a set of common pedagogical qualities assisting them to work productively with persistent classroom challenges in low SES classrooms. Exemplary Teachers of Students in Poverty shares successful classroom practice from schools serving diverse and disadvantaged communities and stresses that opportunities in school can influence educational engagement and encourage students to achieve. The text locates itself in international debates about education and poverty and reports on the Teachers for a Fair Go project - an Australian research project into the work of a number of teachers who were successful at engaging students from poor backgrounds. Included in the book: teaching in low SES communities what exemplary teachers of students in low SES communities do specific pedagogical approaches in literacy ICT creativity and culturally responsive practices students’ voices professional qualities of these teachers Exemplary Teachers of Students in Poverty will greatly benefit researchers teacher educators and trainee teachers allowing them to gain a much deeper understanding of the issues constraints and perspectives in teaching contexts across low SES communities.

Exemplification in Communicationthe influence of Case Reports on the Perception of Issues This volume offers a new conceptual framework for exemplification a coherent theoretical approach based on contemporary psychological models of information processing and an exhaustive integration of the pertinent research demonstrations. Focus is on the news media but the influence of fiction and quasi-fiction is also considered. The informational competition between concrete verbal or pictorial exemplification and abstract mostly quantitative exposition is analyzed. Implications for issue perception including delayed consequences are also examined. Exemplification is subjected to conceptual scrutiny and a new theoretical framework is offered. Contemporary psychological paradigms are applied to predict effects of various forms of exemplification. Perhaps most important novel experimental research is presented to document the specific consequences of exemplifications featured in the news even of those featured in fiction. Finally recommendations for information providers and recipients are derived from the research demonstration in order to advance media literacy specific to exemplification. This unique volume: * provides a comprehensive account of the power of case-report selection in the manipulation of perceptions of social issues * addresses exemplification in communication i.e. the influence of case reports in the news media primarily on the perception of pertinent social issues * offers an empirical assessment of the practice of issue exemplifying by the media * gives an exhaustive account of representative research on exemplification effects on issue perception--primarily by the news media but also by the entertainment media and * includes a compilation of guidelines for information providers and recipients in efforts at creating media literacy with regard to exemplification.

Exercise and Sport in Feminist TherapyConstructing Modalities and Assessing Outcomes Integrate physical activity into feminist therapy!This book explores the healing use of exercise and sport as a helpful adjunct to therapy from several therapeutic orientations within the feminist context. It looks at the ways that feminist orientations challenge the mind-body dichotomy and explores the benefits of integrating physical activity exercise and sport into therapy. From the editors: “The contributors to this book display a diversity of theory and research approaches including the integration of the exercise/sport sciences and exercise physiology. This volume is unique in that there has been comparatively little written about the use of exercise in therapy even though exercise is a wonderful and useful intervention tool in the treatment of depression stress anxiety disorders and chronic pain. This book illustrates how exercise can be applied to inpatient and outpatient populations to the neurotic and to the chronically mentally ill. Exercise can reduce the incidence of chronic diseases including diabetes and hypertension as well as address physical problems such as obesity. Exercise can give one a sense of mastery and self-confidence. As our authors suggest exercise must be tailored to specific issues and client populations and diagnoses level of functioning age overall health and cultural context must all be taken into account.”Exercise and Sport in Feminist Therapy: Constructing Modalities and Assessing Outcomes examines: the theory supporting the use of physicality to enhance various types of psychotherapy—psychoanalytic cognitive-behavioral constructivist narrative and organismic/systems practical methods of integrating exercise into varied orientations an exercise program for women with fibromyalgia a way to use exercise to enhance rehabilitation from breast cancer the use of exercise in group therapy for women suffering with chronic mental illness the “tend and befriend” model which can help clients to meet their exercise program responsibilities Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315785905

Exercising AgencyDecision Making and Project Initiation Exercising Agency is a book about decision making. In particular it looks in detail at how a very important type of organizational decision gets made: whether or not to initiate a project. Making strategic decisions of this kind can never be a wholly rational and scientific process. And Exercising Agency lifts the lid on many of the important behavioural factors that inform project decisions: power and politics personality the ’rules’ of an organization. Mark Mullaly draws on his research to provide practical guidance for decision makers; project shapers approving executives and those responsible for how initiation decisions are made. By explaining the influence value and risks associated with the elements that inform the way we make strategic decisions he will help you identify how individuals and organizations can best support the process to ensure project initiation decisions are effective and most closely underpin the priorities of the organization. If you are involved in framing or making decisions about the future of your organization; the projects that you do or don’t decide to initiate then read this book. It won’t make the decisions any easier but it will help you improve the quality of the decisions you make and over time the effectiveness of your organizational decision making.

Exercising Control of the SeaTheory and Practice This book explains both the strategic and the operational aspects of exercising control of the sea. The struggle for sea control consists of three mutually related and overlapping phases: obtaining maintaining and exercising sea control. It is in the phase of exercising sea control when one’s strategic or operational success is exploited; otherwise the fruits of victories achieved would be wasted. This work describes the strategy of a stronger side in wartime after a desired degree of control has been obtained which is followed by a discussion on the objectives and main methods used in exercising sea control. The remaining chapters explain and analyze in some detail each of the main methods of exercising sea control: defence and protection of one’s own and destruction/neutralization of the enemy’s military-economic potential at sea capturing the enemy’s operationally important positions ashore destroying/weakening the enemy’s military-economic potential ashore and supporting one’s ground forces in their offensive and defensive operations on the coast. This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies sea power and naval history. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367252175

Exercising Discretion The exercise of discretion in the criminal justice system and related agencies often plays a key part in decisions which are made but definitions of discretion are not clear and despite widespread recognition of its importance there is much controversy on its nature and legitimacy. This book seeks to explore the importance of discretion to an understanding of the nature of the 'making of justice' in theory and practice taking as its starting point the wide discretionary powers wielded by many of the key players in the criminal justice and related systems. It focuses on the core elements and contexts of discretion looking at the power ability authority and duties of individuals officials and organisations to decide select or interpret vague standards requirements or statutory uncertainties.

Exercising Human RightsGender Agency and Practice Exercising Human Rights investigates why human rights are not universally empowering and why this damages people attempting to exercise rights. It takes a new approach in looking at humans as the subject of human rights rather than the object and exposes the gendered and ethnocentric aspects of violence and human subjectivity in the context of human rights. Using an innovative visual methodology Redhead shines a new critical light on human rights campaigns in practice. She examines two cases in-depth. First she shows how Amnesty International depicts women negatively in their 2004 ‘Stop Violence against Women Campaign’ revealing the political implications of how images deny women their agency because violence is gendered. She also analyses the Oka conflict between indigenous people and the Canadian state. She explains how the Canadian state defined the Mohawk people in such a way as to deny their human subjectivity. By looking at how the Mohawk used visual media to communicate their plight beyond state boundaries she delves into the disjuncture between state sovereignty and human rights. This book is useful for anyone with an interest in human rights campaigns and in the study of political images. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138286238

Spitzer MD presented his study on sexual conversion therapy with its controversial findings that some homosexuals can change their sexual orientation. The resulting media sensation and political firestorm enraged the study’s critics and emboldened its supporters. Ex-Gay Research: Analyzing the Spitzer Study and Its Relation to Science Religion Politics and Culture presents leading experts examining Spitzer’s research methodology and findings to discern whether the study itself deserves deeper consideration or outright dismissal. Every facet of the study is reviewed to discuss the positive or negative aspects of the results its significance in political and social terms and the implications for the future. Dr. Spitzer himself was an instrumental figure in the American Psychiatric Association's decision in 1973 to remove homosexuality as a mental illness listing from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-III. His later study that states that in some individuals homosexuality may be more fluid than previously thought stirred controversy in the psychiatric community and society at large. His study is presented here to allow the reader to evaluate and consider it for themselves. Leading experts then voice their own pro or con views on the methodology and findings.

Exhibiting Madness in MuseumsRemembering Psychiatry Through Collection and Display While much has been written on the history of psychiatry remarkably little has been written about psychiatric collections or curating. Exhibiting Madness in Museums offers a comparative history of independent and institutional collections of psychiatric objects in Australia New Zealand Canada and the United Kingdom. Leading scholars in the field investigate collectors collections their display and the reactions to exhibitions of the history of insanity. Linked to the study of medical museums this work broadens the study of the history of psychiatry by investigating the significance and importance of the role of twentieth-century psychiatric communities in the preservation interpretation and representation of the history of mental health through the practice of collecting. In remembering the asylum and its different communities in the twentieth century individuals who lived and worked inside an institution have struggled to preserve the physical character of their world. This collection of essays considers the way that collections of objects from the former psychiatric institution have played a role in constructions of its history. It historicises the very act of collecting and also examines ethical problems and practices which arise from these activities for curators and exhibitions.

Exhibiting Outside the Academy Salon and Biennial 1775-1999Alternative Venues for Display In recent years there has been increasing scholarly interest in the history of museums academies and major exhibitions. There has been however little to no sustained interest in the histories of alternative exhibitions (single artwork solo artist artist-mounted entrepreneurial privately funded ephemeral etc.) with the notable exception of those publications that deal with situations involving major artists or those who would become so - for example J.L. David’s exhibition of Intervention of the Sabine Women (1799) and The First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874 - despite the fact that these sorts of exhibitions and critical scholarship about them have become commonplace (and no less important) in the contemporary art world. The present volume uses and contextualizes eleven case studies to advance some overarching themes and commonalities among alternative exhibitions in the long modern period from the late-eighteenth to the late-twentieth centuries and beyond. These include the issue of control in the interrelation and elision of the roles of artist and curator and the relationship of such alternative exhibitions to the dominant modes structures of display and cultural ideology.

Exhibiting PatriotismCreating and Contesting Interpretations of American Historic Sites American nationalism patriotism and citizenship are proudly on display at historical sites across America—but they are also contested and reshaped by visitors and their engagement with those places. In Exhibiting Patriotism Bergman analyzes exhibits interpretive materials and orientation films at major US sites from Mt. Rushmore and to the USS Arizona Memorial where controversy has erupted over the stories they tell about the past. She shows how historic narratives are the result of dynamic relationships between institutions and the public and how these relationships are changing in an era when museums are becoming more visitor-centered seeing visitors as partners in historical interpretation. Drawing on film theory memory studies visual communication and visitor studies Bergman offers an important analysis for scholars and professionals in American studies museum studies public history and communication and media studies.

Exhibitions Trade Fairs and Industrial Events This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of the breadth and scope of exhibitions trade fairs and other industrial events as a marketing tool or channel. Industrial Events are planned events that are staged with the primary aim of marketing businesses industries and products. This may lead to direct sales through these events as well as the development of brand image or building brand awareness; penetration of new markets; trials of new products and knowledge diffusion. These business goals might be future-focused with meetings of strategic players from across an industry or sector contributing to the shaping of future innovations and development. Industrial events act as a marketplace but rather than seeing them as temporary or isolated activities they can be understood as cyclical clusters. This is a multidisciplinary book written by an international group of leading academics offering a wide range of case studies that feature countries such as the United Kingdom United States of America Japan South Korea Saudi Arabia Australia and New Zealand.

Exhibitions and the Development of Modern Planning Culture The evolution of city planning theory and practice in the first half of the twentieth century was captured and driven by a range of exhibitionary practices in a variety of settings globally from international expos to local public halls. The agendas of the promoters varied but exhibitions generally drew their social legitimacy from their status as ’appropriate educative agencies of citizenship’. Bringing together a range of international case studies this volume explores the highly visual genre of public planning exhibitions worldwide. In doing so it provides a unique lens on the development of modern urban planning and design from the late 19th century to the present day. Focussing mainly on the first half of the 20th century it looks in particular at historic exhibitions which sought to transform urban society’s understanding of the possibilities of planning as a force for social betterment. The visuality of presentation contemporary reactions and outcomes for the planning profession and the community are explored to make for a unique innovative and attractive approach to the history of planning ideas. The five major themes are the visual representation of ideas and ideologies; institutions and individuals involved; the broader context of display; and the impacts and implications for the development planning culture. With contributors including Karl Fischer John Gold Carola Hein Peter Larkham Javier Monclus and Mark Tewdwr-Jones the dominant intellectual paradigm further unifying the collection is planning history.

Exhibitions as ResearchExperimental Methods in Museums Exhibitions as Research contends that museums would be more attractive to both researchers and audiences if we consider exhibitions as knowledge-in-the-making rather than platforms for disseminating already-established insights. Analysing the theoretical underpinnings and practical challenges of such an approach the book questions whether it is possible to exhibit knowledge that is still in the making whilst also considering which concepts of "knowledge" apply to such a format. The book also considers what the role of audience might be if research is extended into the exhibition itself. Providing concrete case studies of projects where museum professionals have approached exhibition making as a knowledge-generating process the book considers tools of application and the challenges that might emerge from pursuing such an approach. Theoretically the volume analyses the emergence of exhibitions as research as part of recent developments within materiality theories object-oriented ontology and participatory approaches to exhibition-making. Exhibitions as Research will be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of museology material culture anthropology and archaeology. It will also appeal to museum professionals with an interest in current trends in exhibition-making. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138646063

Exhibitions for Social Justice Exhibitions for Social Justice assesses the state of curatorial work for social justice in the Americas and Europe today. Analyzing best practices and new curatorial work to support all those working on exhibitions Gonzales expounds curatorial practices that lie at the nexus of contemporary museology and neurology. From sharing authority to inspiring action and building solidarity the book demonstrates how curators can make the most of visitors’ physical and mental experience of exhibitions. Drawing on ethnographic and archival work at over twenty institutions with nearly eighty museum professionals as well as scholarship in the public humanities visual culture cultural studies memory studies and brain science this project steps back from the detailed institutional histories of how exhibitions come to be. Instead it builds a set of curatorial practices by examining the work behind the finished product in the gallery. Demonstrating that museums have the power to help our society become more hospitable equitable and sustainable Exhibitions for Social Justice will be of interest to scholars and students of museum and heritage studies gallery studies arts and heritage management and politics. It will also be valuable reading for museum professionals and anyone else working with exhibitions who is looking for guidance on how to ensure their work attains maximum impact.

Exhuming LossMemory Materiality and Mass Graves of the Spanish Civil War This book examines the contested representations of those murdered during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s in two small rural communities as they undergo the experience of exhumation identification and reburial from nearby mass graves. Based on interviews with relatives of the dead community members and forensic archaeologists it pays close attention to the role of excavated objects and images in breaking the pact of silence that surrounded the memory of these painful events for decades afterward. It also assesses the significance of archaeological and forensic practices in changing relationships between the living and dead. The exposure of graves has opened up a discursive space in Spanish society for multiple representations to be made of the war dead and of Spain’s traumatic past.

Exile in Global Literature and CultureHomes Found and Lost Prompted by centuries of warfare political oppression natural disasters and economic collapses exile has had an enormous impact not only on individuals who have undergone transplantation from one culture to another but also on the host societies they have joined and those worlds they have left behind. Written by prominent literary critics creative authors and artists the essays gathered within Exile in Global Literature and Culture: Homes Found and Lost meditate upon the painful journeys—geographic spiritual emotional psychological—brought about due to exilic rupture loss and dislocation. Yet exile also fosters potential pleasures and rewards: to extend scholar Martin Tucker’s formulation wherever the exile might land in flight he bears with him the sweetness of survival the triumph of transcendence the luxury of liminality and the invitation to innovate and invent in new lands. Indeed exile embodies both blessing and curse homes found and lost. Furthermore this book adheres to (and tests) the premise that exile‘s deepest and innermost currents are manifested through writing and other artistic forms.

Exiled ActivismPolitical Mobilization in Egypt and England This book examines the relationship between exile and activism. Drawing on interviews with activists exiled to England following the military coup d’état in Egypt as an illustrative case it considers whether exile presents any barrier to meaningful political participation. Through a comparison of activism in Egypt with exiled activism in England the author explores the mechanisms mediating the changes in the activists’ activities tracing the conditions for exile in institutions of dictatorship and shedding light on the process by which activism is decertified and fear of repression becomes internalised within a movement - a process that is counteracted in the sanctuary and stability of a host country in which activist networks are founded and the exile repertoire is expanded. A significant contribution to social movement theory this book will appeal to sociologists and political scientists with interests in political mobilisation and contentious politics.

Exiled to PalestineThe Emigration of Soviet Zionist Convicts 1924-1934 This is the unknown story of how Zionists imprisoned by Soviet authorities were allowed to choose sentences of permanent departure to Palestine where they helped build Jewish society the backbone of left-wing parties and the powerful trade union movement. These leading authors bring to light undiscovered documents from archives opened after the collapse of the Soviet Union and go on to revise fundamental assumptions about these events. They examine the means by which internal power struggles and personal interventions in the uppermost echelons of the Soviet leadership allowed the Zionists to disseminate their message and recruit thousands of members before the massive arrests of the mid-1920s; demonstrate the extent to which personal contacts between Zionists and those who aided them Soviet leaders and members of the security services were vital to initiating and sustaining the practice of substitution; and using a broad array of British and Zionist documents they reveal the crucial role of Anglo-Zionist co-operation in facilitating the immigration of Zionist convicts. This book will of great interest to all students and scholars of Jewish and Israeli Russian and Soviet and European and British history. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415647694

Existence Meaning ExcellenceAristotelian Reflections on the Meaning of Life This book addresses the ‘perennial’ question of the meaning of life from the point of view of a novel interpretation of Aristotle’s teleology. Beginning with the premise that at the core of modernity and modern moral imagination are the entropy of meaning and the sense of meaninglessness the author critically engages with the work of the post-war existentialists chiefly that of Albert Camus and Martin Heidegger to argue that their analyses are unconvincing and that the question of the meaning of being should therefore be approached using different assumptions based on the notion of flourishing life. From this Aristotelian outlook Existence Meaning Excellence employs Alasdair MacIntyre’s critique of modernity together with his conceptions of practice and the narrative unity of life and tradition to provide a novel philosophical account of existence meaning and excellence - an account which is used to contribute to debates (between Kantian and Nietzschean perspectives) on the nature of art and genius with Mozart’s genius being used by way of illustration. A fascinating and powerfully argued engagement with existentialist thought that draws on the ‘virtue’ tradition to explore questions of meaning as well as wider questions within philosophy this book will appeal to philosophers and social theorists with interests in existentialism moral philosophy and accounts of ‘the good’ based on the notions of human flourishing.

Existential Sentences in English In order to bring some minimal amount of order to the chaos that almost inevitably attends the use of the word ‘existential’ in a linguistic investigation the author reserved the term existential sentence (ES) to designate all and only those English sentences in which there appears an occurrence of the unstressed non-deictic ‘existential’ there. Thus the term will be used as a characterisation of a class of syntactic objects not as a semantic description. With ES sentences including formations such as ‘There were several people talking’ and ‘There ensued a riot’ perhaps nowhere else do we find so clearly displayed the complexity and subtlety of the syntactic and semantic interactions which determine the nature of human language.

How do hearers interpret existential sentences using pragmatic assumptions? This study attempts to account for the relationship between the structure of existential sentences (ES) and their meaning. The study of ES has received a great deal of attention because the construction has complex syntactic properties is associated with restrictions of a semantic nature and provides an interesting area for investigation at a pragmatic level.

Existentialism Existentialism entered the public consciousness after the Second World War especially through the work of Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Indeed these charismatic and engaged thinkers gave philosophy a level of glamour it had not before enjoyed while existentialism’s forefathers—including Friedrich Nietzsche and Soren Kierkegaard—were soon rediscovered and embraced anew. Moreover in addition to the initial connection between existentialism and literature the movement developed many interdisciplinary approaches: feminist existentialism religious existentialism and political existentialism to name just a few. As a broad philosophical doctrine as well as in its interdisciplinary combinations existentialism is of lasting significance and remains a thriving enterprise. To make sense of existentialism’s huge—and growing—corpus of scholarly literature this new Routledge collection answers the need for an authoritative up-to-date and comprehensive reference work. In four volumes it assembles the foundational and the very best cutting-edge research. Volume I (‘Key Figures and Definitions’) maps the development of existentialism from the first existentialist to the classic and contemporary existentialists. It also gives users an impression of the most prominent definitions of existentialism. Volume II (‘Basic Themes and Concepts’) meanwhile collects the most important texts on the key notions of existentialism such as subject/object authenticity ambiguity humanism and emotions. Volume III (‘Existentialist Aesthetics and Psychology’) attends to those areas outside philosophy which have been most influenced by existentialism: aesthetics (literature theatre art theory) and psychology (psychoanalysis psychotherapy). The final volume in the collection (‘Horizons of Existentialism’) considers several other interdisciplinary areas including: religion feminism communications and politics. Existentialism is supplemented with a full index and includes a newly written comprehensive introduction which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. The collection will be valued by scholars students and researchers as a vital research resource. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415667005

Existentialism Authenticity Solidarity What makes individuals what they are? How should they judge their social and political interaction with the world? What makes them authentic or inauthentic? This original and provocative study explores the concept of "authenticity" and its relevance for radical politics. Weaving together close readings of three 20th century thinkers: Martin Heidegger Karl Jaspers and Jean-Paul Sartre with the concept of authenticity Stephen Eric Bronner illuminates the phenomenological foundations for self-awareness that underpin our sense of identity and solidarity. He claims that different expressions of the existential tradition compete with one another in determining how authenticity might be experienced but all of them ultimately rest on self-referential judgments. The author’s own new framework for a political ethic at once serves as a corrective and an alternative. Wonderfully rich insightful and nuanced Stephen Eric Bronner has produced another bookshelf staple that speaks to crucial issues in politics philosophy psychology and sociology. Existentialism Authenticity Solidarity will appeal to scholars students and readers from the general public alike. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367608101

Existentialism and Social Work Existentialism and Social Work provides a clearly-expressed and well-argued exposition of Sartrean existentialism as a theory base for social work practice. It introduces the key concepts and themes of the philosophy and relates them to social welfare theory and practice. Existentialism is a valuable means of making sense of many of the complexities contradictions and dilemmas which social work staff encounter. The book explores the relationship between theory and practice and examines how existentialism can help to bridge the gap. A number of theoretical perspectives are evaluated from an existentialist perspective and links are drawn between Sartre’s philosophy and aspects of commonly used theories and methods. But this is not simply a theoretical analysis. Neil Thompson also explores the use of existentialism as a guide to day-to-day practice and draws up a set of Principles for Practice. The ultimate aim is to present existentialism as a concrete philosophy of praxis. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138251236

Existentialism and SociologyContribution of Jean-Paul Sartre Existentialism and Sociology (originally published under the title The Existential Sociology of Jean-Paul Sartre) is the first work to systematically and critically analyze the existential ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre and to demonstrate their importance and connection to central sociological categories found in the theories of Weber Durkheim Freud Mead and others.Drawing also on sociological and Hegelian social thought Hayim analyzes key existential concepts of negation temporality choice anguish and bad faith and carefully situates them in the different relations of self to the otherrelations of indifference and destruction as well as relations of engagement and pledge. She joins the two orders of being ontology and sociology and establishes intellectual and ethical continuity between the phenomenology of Being and Nothingness Sartre's momentous early work and neglected sociological categories in his later works: Critique of Dialectical Reason and Notebooks for an Ethics.Hayim makes accessible to the social scientist a rich repertoire of existential motifs and perspectives on community and group interactions and their inextricable bond to the life practice of the individual. Distinguishing among social groups as different orders of social consciousness and organization Hayim addresses issues of transcendence and inertia leadership and authority freedom and bondage bureaucracy and control and identifies Sartre's concept of the "practico-inert" as the radical center of our intersubjectivity today and its threat to human intelligibility.The author contends that the massive language of a "sociology of things" instills in the human actor a feeling of helplessness and gross inferiority vis-a-vis the social world. She offers in contrast the existential emphasis on the importance of substituting live human experience for mechanistic processes of explanation and of establishing a language of conscious choice and responsibility in place of the massive language found in orthodox social analysis. The new introductory essay suggests the influence of Sartre on new discourses in sociological and social-psychological theory especially with reference to our contemporary disaffection with classical notions of emancipation and other "universalized discourses " as well as in reference to current debates on "essentialism" and "self-identity." Hayim's book will interest a wide variety of readers including philosophers sociologists admirers of Sartre's theories and students of existentialism.

Existentialist Criminology Existentialist Criminology captures an emerging interest in the value of existentialist thought and concepts for criminological work on crime deviance crime control and criminal justice. This emerging interest chimes with recent social and cultural developments - as well as shifts in their theoretical consideration - that are oriented around contingency and unpredictability. But whilst these conditions have largely been described and analysed through the lens of complexity theory post-structuralist theory and postmodernism there exploration by critical criminologists in existentialist terms offers a richer and more productive approach to the social and cultural dimensions of crime deviance crime control and more broadly of regulation and governance. Covering a range of topics that lend themselves quite naturally to existentialist analysis - crime and deviance as becoming and will the existential openness of symbolic exchange the internal conversations that take place within criminal justice practices and the contingent and finite character of resistance - the contributions to this volume set out to explore a largely untapped reservoir of critical potential.

Existentialist Ontology and Human Consciousness Existentialist Ontology and Human ConsciousnessThe majority of the distinguished scholarly articles in this volume focus on Sartre's early philosophical work which dealt first with imagination and the emotions then with the critique of Husserl's notion of a transcendental ego and finally with systematic ontology presented in his best-known book Being and Nothingness. In addition since his preoccupation with ontological questions and especially with the meanings of ego self and consciousness endured throughout his career other essays discuss these themes in light of later developments both in Sartre's own thought and in the phenomenological hermeneutic and analytic traditions.

Exit from DemocracyIlliberal Governance in Turkey and Beyond Democratic government is facing unprecedented challenges at a global scale. Yet Turkey's descent into conflict crisis and autocracy is exceptional. Only a few years ago the country was praised as a successful Muslim-majority democracy and a promising example of sustainable growth. In Turkey’s Exit from Democracy  the contributors argue that President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan and the Justice and Development Party government have now effectively abandoned the realm of democratic politics by attempting regime change with the aim to install a hyper-presidentialist system. Examining how this power grab comes at the tail end of more than a decade of seemingly democratic politics the contributors also explore the mechanisms of de-democratization through two distinctive but interrelated angles: A set of comparative analyses explores illiberal forms of governance in Turkey Russia Southeast Europe and Latin America. In-depth studies analyse how Turkey's society has been reshaped in the image of a patriarchal habitus and how consent has been fabricated through religious educational ethnic and civil society policies. Despite this comprehensive authoritarian shift the result is not authoritarian consolidation but a deeply divided and contested polity. Analysing an early example of democratic decline and authoritarian politics this volume is relevant well beyond the confines of regional studies. Turkey exemplifies the larger forces of de-democratization at play globally. Turkey’s Exit from Democracy provides the reader with generalizable insights into these transformative processes. These chapters were originally published as a special issue in Southeast European and Black Sea Studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367891831

Exit from Globalization Exit from Globalization moves from theory to practice: from questions of where incorrigible knowledge of substantive economic life derives and how that knowledge is put towards making a progressive redistributive eco-sustainable future of human flourishing. Westra discards at the outset views that the root of current economic ills is the old devil we know capitalism. Rather he maintains the neoliberal decades spawned a "Merchant of Venice" economic excrescence bent upon expropriation and rent seeking which will scrape all the flesh from the bones of humanity if not stopped dead in its tracks. En route to providing a viable design for the human future in line with transformatory demands of socialists and Greens Westra exorcizes both Soviet demons and ghosts of neoliberal ideologues past which lent support to the position that there is no alternative to "the market". Exit from Globalization shows in a clear and compelling fashion that while debates over the possibility of another potentially socialist world swirl around this or that grand society-wide scheme the fact is that creative future directed thinking has at its disposal several economic principles that transformatory actors may choose from and combine in various ways to remake human economic life. The book concludes with an examination of the various social constituencies currently supporting radical change and explores the narrowing pathways to bring change about.

Exit Toward Post-Stalinism How does a society emerge from Stalinism? This is the question of the day in Eastern Europe. In this final volume of his trilogy on Stalinism Campeanu examines the main pillars of the Stalinist system - the vacuum of ownership and the regulation of all social and economic activity by a central power endowed with infallibility. Only if both of these conditions are eliminated Campeanu argues can Stalinism finally be overcome. Attempts only to reform to modify to ameliorate to eliminate "excesses" will ensure that society stays in a perpetual dead-end. How does perestroika measure up against this standard? What are the stakes in Moscow in Beijing? It is to be able to answer questions such as these that Campeanu undertook this work. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315491172

Exodus Church and Civil SocietyPublic Theology and Social Theory in the Work of Jürgen Moltmann This book investigates the intersection of theology and social theory in the work of Jürgen Moltmann. In particular it examines the way in which his concept of the "Exodus Church" can illuminate the importance of the idea of civil society for a Christian public theology. The concept of civil society can aid in moving from the narrower category of "political theology " a term used frequently by Moltmann to emphasize the church's public commitment to a broader understanding of theology's public task which takes into account the plurality of ends and institutions within society. The idea of the Exodus Church enables deeper understanding of Christian ethical participation within a complex modern society. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315581446

Expanding Access to Health CareA Management Approach The U.S. health care system faces well-known problems: 47 million people without health insurance rapidly rising costs that consume 16 percent of the country's economic output and widely uneven quality of care. Even many people with coverage are experiencing serious problems paying for the rapidly rising costs of health care and insurance.This book - a joint product of the National Academy of Public Administration and the National Academy of Social Science - undertakes a sweeping analysis of the management and administrative issues that arise in expanding health care coverage. The book identifies the core administrative functions that need to be performed in assuring access to health coverage describes how these functions are performed at present and under proposed alternatives draws lessons from experience in the U.S. and abroad and assesses suggested administrative approaches designed to facilitate the improvement and expansion of health care coverage.Adequate health care is one of today's most crucial domestic policy concerns. "Expanding Access to Health Care" is designed to bring together in one place some of the best thinking on the subject not as an exercise in advocacy but rather to lay out the issues in a balanced way so that policymakers researchers and citizens can better understand the complex details of health care reform.

Expanding BoundariesBorders Mobilities and the Future of Europe-Africa Relations This book challenges the common European notions about African migration to Europe and offers a holistic understanding of the current situation in Africa. It advocates a need to rethink Africa-Europe relations and view migration and borders as a resource rather than sources of a crisis. Migrant movement from Africa is often misunderstood and misrepresented as invasion caused by displacement due to poverty violent conflict and environmental stress. To control this movement and preserve national identities the EU and its various member states resort to closing borders as a way of reinforcing their migration policies. This book aims to dismantle this stereotypical view of migration from Africa by sharing cutting-edge research from the leading scholars in Africa and Europe. It refutes the flawed narratives that position Africa as a threat to the European societies their economies and security and encourages a nuanced understanding of the root causes as well as the socioeconomic factors that guide the migrants’ decision-making. With chapters written in a concise style this book brings together the migration and border studies in an innovative way to delve into the broader societal impacts of both. It also serves to de-silence the African voices in order to offer fresh insights on African migration – a discourse dominated hitherto by the European perspective. This book constitutes a valuable resource for research scholars and students of Border Studies Migration Studies Conflict and Security Studies and Development Studies seeking specialisation in these areas. Written in an accessible style it will also appeal to a more general public interested in gaining a fuller perspective on the African reality. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367539214

Expanding Curriculum TheoryDis/positions and Lines of Flight Expanding Curriculum Theory Second Edition carries through the major focus of the original volume—to reflect on the influence of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of "lines of flight" and its application to curriculum theorizing. What is different is that the lines of flight have since shifted and produced expanded understandings of this concept for curriculum theory and for education in general. This edition reflects the impact of events that have contributed to this shift in particular the (il)logic of school policy changes and reforms in the past decade and the continued explosion of social media and its effect on the collective understanding of how both "knowledge" and "education" work as forms of repression. The introduction updates the text and puts it into current debates in the field and in the larger socio-economic milieu. New dis/positions are presented that explore central questions circulating within and outside curriculum studies. Exciting scholarship on a range of topics includes notions of desire and commodities youth culture and violence new directions in curriculum theory Eco-Ethical consciousness new Deleuzian views of normality the diffusion of technology and lines of flight in transnational curriculum inquiry.

Expanding Definitions of GiftednessThe Case of Young Interpreters From Immigrant Communities This book is about bilingual young people who have been selected by their families to carry out the hard work of interpreting and translating to mediate communication between themselves and the outside world--between minority and majority communities. It examines the experiences of these young interpreters and the skills they develop in order to fulfill this role. The authors' purpose in this volume is to contribute to extending current definitions of gifted and talented by proposing and offering evidence that the young people who are selected to serve as family interpreters perform at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age experience and environment and should thus clearly be included in the 1993 U.S. federal definition of giftedness. They maintain that not only are these capabilities currently overlooked by existing assessment procedures but also that there is little understanding of the ways in which the unique talents of young interpreters might be nurtured and developed in academic settings. A strong case is made that in order for such students to be identified as gifted on the basis of their bilingual abilities the field of gifted and talented education must embrace the concept that bilingualism is a strength. The field must also make developing bilingualism a focus of programs designed to meet the needs of the increasingly multilingual student population in the United States. The research this book reports--part of a larger five-year study of giftedness through linguistic and cultural lenses funded by OERI through the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented--was conducted by researchers whose background is very much outside the field of gifted education. Rather their focus is on language working within the traditions of qualitative sociolinguistics. Thus this book offers a unique approach to the exploration of giftedness. It asks researchers and practitioners ordinarily accustomed to working with quantitative data to examine and make sense of detailed and rich analyses of students' linguistic performance and argues that it is only by understanding the challenges of such bilingual interactions that the field of gifted and talented education can expand and reframe its vision of giftedness.

Expanding Perspectives on Human Rights in Africa This book draws attention to emerging issues around the rights of minorities marginalized groups and persons in Africa. It explores the gaps between human rights provisions and conditions showing that although international human rights principles have been embraced in the continent various minority groups and marginalized persons are denied such rights through criminalization and persecution.　 African countries have a good record of signing and ratifying international and regional rights instruments but the political will and capacity for enforcing these with respect to minorities remain weak. International contributors to the book provide new perspectives on the rights of marginalized and minority groups in different parts of Africa and the extent to which they are deprived or denied entitlement to the universality and equality articulated in law. The authors show that human rights while having come of age as a moral ideal has not been fully entrenched in practice towards groups such as children indigenous populations the mentally ill persons with disabilities and persons with albinism.　 This volume is geared toward scholars students human rights groups policy makers social workers international organizations and policy makers in the fields of criminology security studies development studies political science sociology children studies social psychology international relations postcolonial studies and African Studies.

Expanding US Military Command in AfricaElites Networks and Grand Strategy This book discusses the systematic expansion of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) across the continent of Africa. This book posits that AFRICOM expansion in Africa is part of a broader system of accumulation based on a government-business-media (GBM) complex. Applying the concept at both structural and descriptive levels the GBM complex is a function of the synergy between the state’s quest for power businesses’ need for expansion and the informational and hegemonic functions of media actors. The United States’ GBM complex in Africa is supported—and in some locations spearheaded—by its military with dispossessing effects on local actors. Drawing from African case studies analytical accounts and empirical case studies this book explores AFRICOM’s role within this broader strategy. The volume maps both the methods and the scope of this expansion as well as local resistance to this process and comprises perspectives from the five regions of Africa key sub-regional organizations and voices from Africa’s regional hegemons.

Expansion of Trade and FDI in AsiaStrategic and Policy Challenges Foreign direct investment flows have increased dramatically in recent decades and continue to be a driving factor of economic globalisation. As a growth pole in the world economy large parts of Asia have particularly become an attractive place for market-seeking FDI. In a high number of Asian countries FDI restrictions have been reduced leading to accelerated technological exchange and globally integrated production and marketing networks. Overall this has positively benefited the emerging countries that have opened their doors to FDI. Expansion of Trade and FDI in Asia explores the trends of present FDI in Asia and their effects on multilateral regulation of FDI. It reviews the increasing attraction of FDI and the rise of Asian transnational corporations (TNCs) from an economic perspective. It also investigates the legal side of the development in particular the changes in bilateral and regional FDI regulation and the lessons that could be learned for International Investment Agreements (IIAs) and the constitution of trading blocs.

Expansion or ExodusWhy Do Russian Corporations Invest Abroad? Evaluate the impact of Russia’s global business expansion Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union tremendous changes have taken place in the Russian Federation’s trade relationship with other countries—especially with former allies. Expansion or Exodus examines how and why Russian corporations invest outside the country and why most of that money remains abroad as the growth and performance of these companies increases at an accelerated rate. As the Federation moves closer to joining the World Trade Organization this timely book provides a global view of Russia’s outward expansion exploring the operations of Russian firms in old new and forthcoming European Union member states. Russian corporations have invested 50-70 billion USD abroad in the last five years with global energy giant Gazprom leading the way. Although some of the Russian money has returned home most of it remains abroad largely in the EU and the United States. Many ex-socialist countries fear the Russian government is using its energy companies as foreign policy tools and in some cases those fears have been grounded. But the outward expansion of Russian firms has become less motivated by politics as non-energy-related companies have begun their internationalization. Expansion or Exodus examines the vital issues surrounding Russia’s outward foreign direct investments including: how a lower-middle income country has become a net capital exporter how larger export-oriented Russian companies have used Germany as entry to Europe how Russian direct investments in Poland led to corruption and political involvement why foreign direct investments in the Baltic States have been met with suspicion why natural resource-based companies have been main drivers of international growth of Russian economy and how manufacturing and telecommunication industries are catching up the development of a Lithuanian oil refinery from state-ownership to privatization by an American corporation to acquisition with Russian capital the international activities of the leading Russian companies in several industrial sectors the majors factors that form contemporary Russian business culture the negative features of receiving Russian investments the outward internationalization of Russia’s telecommunication company Mobile TeleSystems (MTS) and much moreExpansion or Exodus is an invaluable resource for the international business community policymakers and academics.

ExpansionismIts Effects on Cuba's Independence Starting in the early part of the nineteenth century American administrations expressed a desire to own Cuba. A rationale for adding Cuba to the territory of the United States could be built on Cuba's sugar and tobacco industries as well as Cuba's mineral deposits. But economics was not the primary motivation. American presidents knew that in the event of war any nation occupying Cuba would have an advantage over the US military strategies; this fear coupled with the economic benefit explains a century of policy decisions.As Frank R. Villafana shows Cubans were not sitting idle waiting for outsiders to liberate them from Spanish oppression. A major part of this research is devoted to studying Cuban efforts to liberate their island from prolonged Spanish domination. Cuba had been struggling for independence from Spain since the 1830s followed by the Ten Year War. During the 1895-1898 War of Independence Cuba came close to defeating Spain but a merciless Spanish military effort converted Cuba into a series of concentration camps.Spain surrendered after its naval defeats by the US at Manila Bay and Santiago de Cuba following a failed ground campaign in eastern Cuba. After the US occupied Cuba militarily American political leaders realized only a small minority of Cubans supported annexation and the Platt Amendment was developed as a substitute. Today most Cubans agree that independence even constrained by the United States was better than enslavement by the Castro brothers. However as Villafana emphasizes Cubans living in Cuba as well as abroad still seek a land free and independent of foreign threat and domestic tyrants.

Expatriate ManagersThe Paradoxes of Living and Working Abroad Since the 1990s economic and cultural globalization has propelled the transnational mobility of managers and fueled cross-border careers. Some scholars have argued for the emergence of a new global business elite with cosmopolitan mind-sets and homogeneous lifestyles while others have highlighted their disconnection from the local surroundings and their everyday life within national expatriate ‘bubbles’. Thus the question of whether today’s mobile professionals can be described as interculturally open and competent cosmopolitans or as pronounced anti-cosmopolitans is still unanswered. Expatriate Managers and the Paradoxes of Working and Living Abroad considers a core protagonist of economic globalization and the management of MNCs through the lens of a practice-based theoretical approach whilst seeking to address this question by building on intensive ethnographic case studies of expatriate managers most of them high-ranking executives from two comparative different home countries the US and Germany. These managers together with their families have been assigned to China Germany or the US to perform demanding coordination tasks within their multinational corporations (MNCs). Based on detailed accounts of expatriate managers’ experiences and everyday practices the book reveals the multiple and sometimes paradoxical ways in which they deal with cultural differences as they build up new forms of working belonging and dwelling.The findings suggest that the newly emerging mind-sets and lifestyles of expatriate managers transcend the polarized images of mobile elites as either cosmopolitan ‘global managers’ or parochial anti-cosmopolitans.

This volume studies the production process where resources must be committed to specific technological purposes long in advance of the ultimate sale of goods to the consumer. The problems of such a system rest on the durability of the instruments it uses whose huge expense can only be recouped if they can be used for many years. Yet at the time of investment those years of use are in the future and uncertain. The firm is the essential institutional means of confronting this uncertainty. Expectation Enterprise and Profit is concerned with the nature and mode of life of the firm as a means of policy formation in the face of uncertainty.Chapters include:The Nature and Matrix of Production Investment and Expectation Interdependent Decision-Making and Profit and Equilibrium.

Expectation Enterprise and ProfitThe Theory of the Firm Production is a complex system of interdependent activities necessary to the system as a whole which itself depends on the continuance of each individual activity that composes it. In such a system resources must be committed to specific technological purposes long in advance to the ultimate sale of goods to the consumer.The success of such an enterprise system rests on the durability of the instruments it uses. These are so complex sensitive and powerful that their huge expense can be recovered only if they can be used for many years. Yet when the decision is made to invest in them those years of use are in the future and the conditioning circumstances are unobservable and unknown.The firm in Western economies is the essential institutional means of confronting this problem of uncertainty Expectation Enterprise and Profit: The Theory of the Firm is concerned with the nature and mode of life of the firm as a means of policy formation in the face of uncertainty.This book offers a concise treatment and excellent analysis of the major concepts studied in a first course in the theory of the firm.

Expectations and the Foreign Exchange Market Originally published in 1984. This book examines two important dimensions of efficiency in the foreign exchange market using econometric techniques. It responds to the macroeconomics trend to re-examining the theories of exchange rate determination following the erratic behaviour of exchange rates in the late 1970s. In particular the text looks at the relation between spot and forward exchange rates and the term structure of the forward premium both of which require a joint test of market efficiency and the equilibrium model. Approaches used are the regression of spot rates on lagged forward rates and an explicit time series analysis of the spot and forward rates using data from Canada the United Kingdom the Netherlands Switzerland and Germany.

Expectations and the Meaning of InstitutionsEssays in Economics by Ludwig M. Lachmann This collection of Ludwig Lachmann's essays challenges contemporary attitudes to economics and seeks to apply an interpretive approach to the discipline. The essays spanning six decades address a wide range of issues in microeconomics macroeconomics methodology and the history of thought. They outline Lachmann's approach to economics with the emphasis on the meaning of human institutions in a world of unpredictable change rather than on quantitative and stable relations. Collecting Lachmann's most important work together for the first time it includes two essays never previously published. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138006775

Expectations in Economic Theory This book deals with economic theory not methodology. It does employ certain methodological resolutions. These resolutions and the limitations they impose on the nature and the scope of the analysis are reviewed. The first resolution concerns what kind of a theory is to be discussed. The word theory may mean many things; it may mean a hypothesis put forward as an explanation of something an idea or a notion. In a normative sense it may mean a recommendation a rule or principle to be followed. In science it usually means a system of hypotheses to be accepted as an explanation of certain facts a set of general laws and principles. It is also used to distinguish the general principles and methods of a subject from the practice of it.The theory with which this volume is concerned is that of science. In very general terms it may be defined as a system of hypotheses one following from another which permits the reader to derive from known facts and predictions of other facts. If the knowledge of the fact which we predict is important for us in the sense that it permits us to achieve better the objectives we pursue the theory may have a practical value. This book is therefore not only a contribution to the analysis of expectations but also an introduction to a number of selected topics in economic theory.

Expedition of Sir John Norris and Sir Francis Drake to Spain and Portugal 1589 Actions against the Spanish Armada and campaigns in the Netherlands left the Queen’s coffers empty. For this reason proposals to capture the Spanish treasure fleet were given royal support. The treasure fleet homeward bound from the Americas would be intercepted in the Azores. A diversion at Santander to damage the Spanish fleet would prevent protection of the treasure fleet and more importantly prevent further actions against England or Ireland. However the project was diverted further with backers wanting to re-instate Don Antonio as King of Portugal with ideas of gaining lucrative Portuguese trade rights. At sea a further diversion was taken with news of shipping at Corunna and the prospect of capturing merchantmen. ‘Profit was already challenging strategy’. This diversion gave their enemies more time to prepare. The failure at Lisbon was partly from a lack of co-ordination between the navy and army but also from the lack of promised support from Don Antonio’s supporters. The decision to sail for the Azores to intercept the Spanish treasure fleet was at last made only for Drake to be driven back to England by a storm. Short of supplies and with sick crews the ships were in no condition to continue with the Queen’s demands so there was no great treasure and the Spanish fleet was still in being. The sale of prizes and their contents failed to cover the cost of the expedition and so the expedition was considered a financial and strategic failure.

Experience Explanation and FaithAn Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion In this book Anthony O’Hear examines the reasons that are given for religious faith. His approach is firmly within the classical tradition of natural theology but an underlying theme is the differences between the personal Creator of the Bible or the Koran and a God conceived of as the indeterminate ground of everything determinate. Drawing on several religious traditions and on the resources of contemporary philosophy specific chapters analyse the nature of religious faith and of religious experience. They examine connections between religion and morality and religion and human knowledge – the cosmological teleological and ontological arguments process thought and the problem that evil presents for religion. The final chapter returns to the inherently dogmatic nature of religious faith and concludes that rational people should look beyond religion for the fulfilment of their spiritual needs.

Experience and Conflict: The Production of Urban Space When designing planning and building urban spaces many contradictory and conflicting actors practices and agendas coexist. This book propounds that at present this process is conducted in an artificial reality 'Concept City' characterized by a simplified and outdated conception of space. It provides a constructive critique of the concepts underlying the practices of planning and architecture and in order to facilitate more dynamic inclusive and subtle practices it formulates a new theory about space in general and public urban space in particular. The central notions in this theory are temporality experiment and conflict which are grounded on empirical observations in Helsinki Manchester and Berlin. While the book contextualizes Lefebvre's ideas on urban planning and architecture it is in no way limited to Lefebvrean discourse but allows insights to new theoretical work including that of Finnish and Swedish authors. In doing so it suggests and develops exciting new approaches and tools leading to 'experiential urbanism'. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138267848

Experience and the growth of understanding (International Library of the Philosophy of Education Volume 11) This volume examines some of the arguments that have been put forward over the years to explain the way in which understanding is acquired. The author looks firstly at the empricist thesis of genesis without structure and secondly at the opposing theory represented by Chomsky of structure without genesis. His greatest sympathy is with the theory of Piaget who represents structure with genesis. He considers that Piaget's account is flawed however by its biological model and by its failure to deal adequately with the problem of objectivity. The second part of the book contains chapters on language the differences between early and later learning and on teaching. The book provides a general understanding  of the principles that make it possible and the differences between the ways in which they work at different stages.

Experience and TheoryAn Essay in the Philosophy of Science Originally published in 1966. This volume analyzes the general structure of scientific theories their relation to experience and to non-scientific thought. Part One is concerned with the logic underlying empirical discourse before its subjection to the various constraints imposed by the logico-mathematical framework of scientific theories upon their content. Part Two is devoted to an examination of this framework and in particular to showing that the deductive organization of a field of experience is by that very act a modification of empirical discourse and an idealization of its subject matter. Part Three analyzes the concordance between theories and experience and the relevance of science to moral and religious beliefs. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415847568

Experience Versus UnderstandingUnderstanding Yourself in Twenty-First Century Societies Bringing into play a lifetime of sociological analysis Harry Bredemeier here explores fundamental issues in epistemology and ethics and how social research has altered traditional views on such major subjects as the play of physical force in social life the distinction between the physical and moral universe risk taking and life making rights and obligations in short the most basic questions posed for our times by the sociological tradition.Bredemeier takes sharp issue with postmodern indictments of the Enlightenment movement of the early eighteenth century: that the Enlightenment was a cover for Western cultural imperialistic destruction of other cultures; that its glorification of reason undermined morality and paved the way for fascism and irrationality; or that it perpetuated a willful indifference to ecological concerns and to women's rights. The author clarifies all those issues and shows how reason properly understood transcends polemics that currently obfuscate appeals to experience.Experience vs. Understanding covers a wide range of topics. Among them are the need for interpretation of experiences; responsibility for consequences of one's choices; the danger in not thinking beyond immediate perceptions; all human activities are governed by cultural rules; individual virtues such as intelligence or courage are not sufficient to evaluate actions; and the issues of national foreign policy parallel those of each person's policy towards other people's. Experience vs. Understanding is a unique study that will be enjoyed by and beneficial to philosophers sociologists and political theorists who are searching for the philosophical foundations of social science.

Experiences of Charity 1250-1650 For a number of years scholars who are concerned with issues of poverty and the poor have turned away from the study of charity and poor relief in order to search for a view of the life of the poor from the point of view of the poor themselves. Great studies have been conducted using a variety of records resulting in seminal works that have enriched our understanding of pauper experiences and the influence and impact of poverty on societies. If we return our gaze to ’charity’ with the benefit of those studies' questions approaches sources and findings what might we see differently about how charity was experienced as a concept and in practice at both community and personal levels? In this collection contributors explore the experience of charity towards the poor considering it in spiritual intellectual emotional personal social cultural and material terms. The approach is a comparative one: across different time periods nations and faiths. Contributors pay particular attention to the way faith inflected charity in the different national environments of England and France as Catholicism and Calvinism became outlawed and/or minority faith positions in these respective nations. They ask how different faith and beliefs defined or shaped the act of charity and explore whether these changed over time even within one faith. The sources used to answer such questions go beyond the textual as contributors analyse a range of additional sources that include the visual aural and material.

Experiences of IslamophobiaLiving with Racism in the Neoliberal Era Since 9/11 interest in Islamophobia has steadily increased – as has the number of academic publications discussing the phenomenon. However theoretical expositions have dominated the field. Lived experiences of Islamophobia by contrast have received little attention. In recognition of the importance of addressing this imbalance this book provides theoretically-informed analyses alongside everyday testimonies of anti-Muslim racism set comparatively in an international context. Carr argues that the failure of the neoliberal state to collect data on anti-Muslim racism highlights the perpetuation of ‘race’ blindness within governance. Not only does this mean that the salience of racism is denied in the lives of those who experience it but this also enables the state to absolve itself from challenging the issue and providing the necessary supports to Muslim communities. Offering original empirical research and theoretical engagement with the concept of ‘race’-blind neoliberal governance this book will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences in addition to policymakers and activists working in this topical area.

Experiences of Mental Health In-patient CareNarratives From Service Users Carers and Professionals Commended in the Mental Health category of the 2008 BMA Medical Book Competition. This book offers an insight into the experience of psychiatric in-patient care from both a professional and a user perspective. The editors highlight the problems in creating therapeutic environments within settings which are often poorly resourced crisis driven and risk aversive.

Each chapter comprises a personal account of in-patient care by those in the front line: people who have been admitted to a psychiatric ward; their relatives; or those that provide the care. These accounts are followed by two commentaries written from different perspectives suggesting lessons that can be learnt to improve the quality of care. Experiences of Mental Health In-patient Care will be useful for all mental health professionals including mental health nurses psychiatrists clinical psychologists occupational therapists arts therapists social workers and trainees as well as service users and carers organisations.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415410816

Experiences of Poverty in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and France Exploring a range of poverty experiences-socioeconomic moral and spiritual-this collection presents new research by a distinguished group of scholars working in the medieval and early modern periods. Collectively they explore both the assumptions and strategies of those in authority dealing with poverty and the ways in which the poor themselves tried to contribute to exploit avoid or challenge the systems for dealing with their situation. The studies demonstrate that poverty was by no means a simple phenomenon. It varied according to gender age and geographical location; and the way it was depicted in speech writing and visual images could as much affect how the poor experienced their poverty as how others saw and judged them. Using new sources-and adopting new approaches to known sources-the authors share insights into the management and the self-management of the poor and search out aspects of the experience of poverty worthy of note from which can be traced lasting influences on the continuing understanding and experience of poverty in pre-modern Europe.

Experiencing Drama in the English RenaissanceReaders and Audiences This book investigates the complex interactions through experiencing drama of readers and audiences in the English Renaissance. Around 1500 an absolute majority of population was illiterate. Henry VIII’s religious reformation changed this cultural structure of society. ‘The Act for the Advancement of True Religion’ of 1543 which prohibited the people belonging to the lower classes of society as well as women from reading the Bible rather suggests that there already existed a number of these folks actively engaged in reading. The Act did not ban the works of Chaucer and Gower and stories of men’s lives – good reading for them. The successive sovereigns’ educational policies also contributed to rising literacy. This trend was speeded up by London’s growing population which invited the rise of commercial playhouses since 1567. Every citizen saw on average about seven performances every year: that is about three per cent of London’s population saw a performance a day. From 1586 onwards merchants’ appearance in best-seller literature began to increase while stage representation of reading/writing scenes also increased and stimulated audiences towards reading. This was spurred by standardisation of the printing format of playbooks in the early 1580s and play-minded readers went to playbooks eventually to create a class of playbook readers. Late in the 1590s at last playbooks matched with prose writings in ratio to all publications. Parts I and II of this book discuss these topics in numerical terms as much as possible and Part III discusses some monumental characteristics of contemporary readers of Chapman Ford Marston and Shakespeare.

Experiencing Endings and Beginnings Throughout life we undergo many changes in our circumstances beginnings and endings of relationships gains and losses. This book highlights the emotional turmoil which to a greater or lesser extent accompanies these changes. It considers the nature of the anxieties aroused by a new situation and the ending of a previous state at various stages in life. Endings and beginnings are shown to be closely related for every new situation entered into more often than not involves having to let go of some of the advantages of the previous one as well as losing what is familiar and facing fear of the unknown. The author shows how all these aspects of change evoke primitive anxieties stemming from our earliest experiences of coming into this world. While beginning life outside holds the promise of a wider more enriching existence it involves the loss of the known relative safety of life inside mother's body. Moreover the human newborn is at first utterly helpless totally dependent on others to keep him alive. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781780491714

Experiencing Environment and Place through Children's Literature Recent scholarship on children’s literature displays a wide variety of interests in classic and contemporary children’s books. While environmental and ecological concerns have led to an interest in ‘ecocriticism’ as yet there is little on the significance of the ecological imagination and experience to both the authors and readers – young and old – of these texts. This edited collection brings together a set of original international research-based chapters to explore the role of children’s literature in learning about environments and places with a focus on how children’s literature may inform and enrich our imagination experiences and responses to environmental challenges and injustice. Contributions from Australia Canada USA and UK explore the diverse ways in which children’s literature can provide what are arguably some of the first and possibly most formative engagements that some children might have with ‘nature’. Chapters examine classic and new storybooks mythic tales and image-based and/or written texts read at home in school and in the field. Contributors focus on exploring how children’s literature mediates and informs our imagination and understandings of diverse environments and places and how it might open our eyes and lives to other presences understandings and priorities through stories their telling and re-telling and their analysis. This book was originally published as a special issue of Environmental Education Research. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415754699

Experiencing EthnomusicologyTeaching and Learning in European Universities Simone Krüger provides an innovative account of the transmission of ethnomusicology in European universities and explores the ways in which students experience and make sense of their musical and extra-musical encounters. By asking questions as to what students learn about and through world musics (musically personally culturally) Krüger argues that musical transmission as a reflector of social and cultural meaning can impact on students' transformations in attitude and perspectives towards self and other. In doing so the book advances current discourse on the politics of musical representation in university education as well as on ethnomusicology learning and teaching and proposes a model for ethnomusicology pedagogy that promotes in students a globally contemporary and democratically informed sense of all musics.

Experiencing ExileHuguenot Refugees in the Dutch Republic 1680–1700 The persecution of the Huguenots in France followed by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 unleashed one of the largest migration waves of early modern Europe. Focusing on the fate of French Protestants who fled to the Dutch Republic Experiencing Exile examines how Huguenot refugees dealt with the complex realities of living as strangers abroad and how they seized upon religion and stories of their own past to comfort them in exile. The book widens the scope of scholarship on the Huguenot Refuge by looking beyond the beliefs and fortunes of high-profile refugees to explore the lives of ’ordinary’ exiles. Studies on Huguenots in the Dutch Republic in particular focus almost exclusively on the intellectual achievements of a small group of figures including Pierre Bayle and the Basnage brothers whereas the fate of the many refugees who joined them in exile remains unknown. This book puts the masses of Huguenot refugees back into the history of the Refuge examining how they experienced leaving France and building a new life in the Dutch Republic. Divided into three sections - ’The Economy of Exile’ ’Faith in Exile’ and ’Memories in Exile’ - the book argues that the Huguenot exile experience was far more complicated than has often been assumed. Scholars have treated Huguenot refugees either as religious heroes as successful migrants or as modern philosophers while ignoring the many challenges that exile presented. As this book demonstrates Huguenots in the Dutch Republic discovered that being a religious refugee in early modern Europe was above all a complex and profoundly unsettling experience fraught with socio-economic religious and political challenges rather than a clear-cut quest for religious freedom.

Experiencing 'Flow' in Jazz Performance The term 'flow' refers to experiences where the musician moves into a consciousness in which time seems to be suspended and perception of reality is blurred by unconscious forces. An essential part of the jazz tradition which often serves as the foundation of the musician's identity flow is recognised within the greater jazz community as a critical factor in accomplished musicianship. Flow as a concept is so deeply embedded in the scene that these experiences are not generally discussed. It contributes to the musicians' work motivation providing a vital level of satisfaction and accomplishment. The power of the experience consciously or unconsciously has given rise to the creation of heroic images in which jazz musicians are seen as being bold yet vulnerable strong and masculine but still capable of expressing emotions. In this discourse musicians are pictured as people constantly putting themselves on the line exposing themselves and their hearts to one another as well as to the audience. Heroic profiles are richly constructed within the jazz scene and their incorporation into narratives of flow suggests that such images are inseparable from jazz. It is thus unclear how far the musicians are simply reporting personal experience as opposed to unconsciously perpetuating a profoundly internalised mythology. Drawing on eighteen interviews conducted with professional jazz musicians from around the world Elina Hytönen-Ng examines the fundamentals of the phenomenon of flow in jazz that has led to this genre's popularity. Furthermore she draws on how flow experiences are viewed and constructed by jazz musicians the meanings they attach to it and the quality of music that it inspires.

Experiencing Liveness in Contemporary PerformanceInterdisciplinary Perspectives This volume brings together dynamic perspectives on the concept of liveness in the performing arts engaging with the live through the particular analytical focus of audiences and experience. The status and significance of the live in performance has become contested: perceived as variously as a marker of ontological difference a promotional slogan or a mystical evocation of cultural value. Moving beyond debates about the relationship between the live and the mediated this collection considers what we can know and say about liveness in terms of processes of experiencing and processes of making. Drawing together contributions from theatre music dance and performance art it takes an interdisciplinary approach in asking not what liveness is but how it matters and to whom. The book invites readers to consider how liveness is produced through processes of audiencing - as spectators bring qualities of (a)liveness into being through the nature of their attention - and how it becomes materialized in acts of performance acts of making acts of archiving and acts of remembering. Theoretical chapters and practice-based reflections explore liveness eventness and nowness as key concepts in a range of topics such as affect documentation embodiment fandom and temporality showing how the relationship between audience and event is rarely singular and more often malleable and multiple. With its focus on experiencing liveness this collection will be of interest to disciplines including performance audience and cultural studies visual arts cinema and sound technologies.

Experiencing Narrative Worlds What does it mean to be transported by a narrative?to create a world inside one's head? How do experiences of narrative worlds alter our experience of the real world? In this book Richard Gerrig integrates insights from cognitive psychology and from research linguistics philosophy and literary criticism to provide a cohesive account of what we have most often treated as isolated aspects of narrative experience.Drawing on examples from Tolstoy to Toni Morrison Gerrig offers new analysis of some classic problems in the study of narrative. He discusses the ways in which we are cognitively equipped to tackle fictional and nonfictional narratives; how thought and emotion interact when we experience narrative; how narrative information influences judgments in the real world; and the reasons we can feel the same excitement and suspense when we reread a book as when we read it for the first time. Gerrig also explores the ways we enhance the experience of narratives through finding solutions to textual dilemmas enjoying irony at the expense of characters in the narrative and applying a wide range of interpretive techniques to discover meanings concealed by and from authors.

Experiencing Old Age in Ancient Rome Old age today is a contentious topic. It can be seen as a demographic timebomb or as a resource of wisdom and experience to be valued and exploited. There is frequent debate over how we value the elderly and whether ageing is an affliction to be treated or a natural process to be embraced. Karen Cokayne explores how ancient Rome dealt with the physical intellectual and emotional implications of the ageing process and asks how the Romans themselves experienced and responded to old age. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary material - written sources inscriptions and visual evidence - the study brings into focus universal concerns including geriatric illness memory loss and senility; the status and role of the old sexuality and family relationships. The book's unique emphasis on both the individual and society's responses to ageing makes it a valuable contribution to the study of the social history of Rome.

Experiencing PsychosisPersonal and Professional Perspectives Extensive scientific research has been conducted into understanding and learning more about psychotic experiences. However in existing research the voice of subjective experience is rarely taken into consideration. In this book first-person accounts are brought centre-stage and examined alongside current research to suggest how personal experience can contribute to professional understanding and therefore the treatment of psychosis. Experiencing Psychosis brings together a range of contributors who have either experienced psychosis on a personal level or conducted research into the topic. Chapters are presented in pairs providing information from both personal and research perspectives on specific aspects of psychosis including: hearing voices delusional beliefs and trauma as well as cultural existential and spiritual issues. Experts from the field recognise that first and foremost psychosis is a human experience and that those who suffer from psychotic episodes must have some involvement in any genuine attempts to make sense of the experience. This book will be essential reading for all mental health professionals involved with psychosis. The accessible style and compelling personal histories will also attract service users and their families. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415580342

Experiential Foundations of Rorschach's Test Schachtel shared with his great contemporary David Rapaport the goal of scientifically reframing the psychoanalytic understanding of personality. Experiential Foundations of Rorschach's Test first published in 1966 is in one sense Schachtel's extended dialogue with Rapaport (in the guise of Schachtel's interlocutor) about this ambitious task. In the course of his brilliant and lucid meditation on this topic Schachtel attempted far more than the simple explication of particular test responses. His book contains and should be read as an entire theory of personality considered in terms of the ways in which one person may meaningfully and detectably differ from another.

Experiential Learning and Outdoor EducationTraditions of practice and philosophical perspectives This book adds to the theoretical development of the emerging fields of experiential learning and outdoor education by examining the central concept 'experience' and interrogating a central claim of experiential learning: whether and if so how a short-term singular experience can transform a participant’s life as a whole and in a permanent way. While such a possibility has been corroborated by the personal testimonies of participants and the activities of instructors over many years the book argues that we must go beyond this kind of ‘evidence’. In comparing Anglophone and continental approaches and drawing on the work of Dewey Dilthey and Merleau-Ponty in the philosophy of experience Experiential Learning and Outdoor Education presents the first detailed review of the concept of ‘experience’ in European philosophy as applied to outdoor experiential learning. A vital insight into the field this is important reading for students and researchers working in the philosophy of sport and pedagogical theory especially in areas relating to the outdoors but also to experiential education more generally.

Experiential Learning in Philosophy In this volume Julinna Oxley and Ramona Ilea bring together essays that examine and defend the use of experiential learning activities to teach philosophical terms concepts arguments and practices. Experiential learning emphasizes the importance of student engagement outside the traditional classroom structure. Service learning studying abroad engaging in large-scale collaborative projects such as creating blogs websites and videos and practically applying knowledge in a reflective creative and rigorous way are all forms of experiential learning. Taken together the contributions to Experiential Learning in Philosophy argue that teaching philosophy is about doing philosophy with others. The book is divided into two sections: essays that engage in the philosophical debate about defining and implementing experiential learning and essays that describe how to integrate experiential learning into the teaching of philosophy. Experiential Learning in Philosophy provides a timely reflection on best practices for teaching philosophical ideals and theories an examination of the evolution of the discipline of philosophy and its adoption (or reclamation) of active modes of learning and an anticipation of the ways in which pedagogical practices will continue to evolve in the 21st century.

Experiential LearningAssessment and Accreditation First published in 1992 Experiential Learning was written to explore in detail the ways in which the assessment and accreditation of prior and current experiential learning (APEL) was being practised in higher education further education community and voluntary provision training organisations and employment in provision for the unemployed youth training schemes and for updating and retraining. The book argues that individuals can be encouraged and motivated to learn if they are enabled to develop a due sense of their own capacity to learn. It looks at the background of APEL in Britain and explores its progression into a day-to-day concern for policy-makers and providers of formal courses and training and development programmes in many sectors. It also considers how APEL can be used alongside other economic and social developments to improve the organisation and the provision of opportunities for learning at the post-secondary stage. Experiential Learning will appeal to those with an interest in the history and theory of the assessment and accreditation of experiential learning.

Experiment Speculation and Religion in Early Modern Philosophy Experimental philosophy was an exciting and extraordinarily successful development in the study of nature in the seventeenth century. Yet experimental philosophy was not without its critics and was far from the only natural philosophical method on the scene. In particular experimental philosophy was contrasted with and set against speculative philosophy and in some quarters was accused of tending to irreligion. This volume brings together ten scholars of early modern philosophy history and science in order to shed new light on the complex relations between experiment speculation and religion in early modern Europe. The first six chapters of the book focus on the respective roles of experimental and speculative philosophy in individual seventeenth-century philosophers. They include Francis Bacon Robert Boyle Margaret Cavendish Thomas Hobbes John Locke and Isaac Newton. The next two chapters deal with the relation between experimental philosophy and religion with a special focus on hypotheses and natural religion. The penultimate chapter takes a broader European perspective and examines the paucity of concerns with religion among Italian natural philosophers of the period. Finally the concluding chapter draws all these individuals and themes together to provide a critical appraisal of recent scholarship on experimental philosophy. This book is the first collection of essays on the subject of early modern experimental philosophy. It will appeal to scholars and students of early modern philosophy science and religion.

Experimental and Modeling Studies of Horizontal Subsurface Flow Constructed Wetlands Treating Domestic Wastewater Sustainable sanitation and water pollution control calls for adoption of affordable and efficient wastewater treatment technologies. In the developing countries the safe management of wastewater is not widespread. There is therefore a need for an appropriate technology that can reliably achieve acceptable effluent quality for discharge to the environment at minimal cost. Constructed wetland (CW) systems have been used as a cost effective alternative to conventional methods of wastewater treatment. However the mechanistic understanding of the CW has not matured while performance data that can guide design and operation of CW under tropical climate are scarce. This study explores the treatment of domestic wastewater with subsurface constructed wetlands in order to provide performance data that can influence design and operation of CW under tropical conditions and to evaluate the processes involved with the transformation and degradation of organic matter and nutrients. The thesis contributes to performance data and getting a better mechanistic understanding about the factors influencing the performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSSF-CW) treating real domestic wastewater under tropical conditions. The findings obtained in this research may prove useful towards the wider application of the constructed wetland wastewater treatment technology and the optimization of full-scale HSSF-CW.

Experimental and Theoretical Study of Strength and Stability of Soil This work presents the experimental results of the strength of sands and clay soils in the following conditions: plane shear triaxial stress state with passive and active loading. The obtained experimental results are compared with existing theories of strength and the reasons for their non-conformity are identified. Experimental data on the determination of the position of shear surfaces with active and passive resistance of soils is analysed. A new concept of the theory of soil strength is considered which allows to take into account the fundamental parameters of the strength of soils: the angle of internal friction specific adhesion and lateral pressure ratio. Given analytical expressions allow one to determine the stress state at the sites rejected with respect to the main stresses. The definition of the physical essence of the concept of lateral pressure coefficient for soils is given. Also described are the results of experiments to determine the critical load on soil having the shape of a truncated cone where the angles of deflection of the shear surfaces have been experimentally determined on the basis of which analytical expressions have been obtained that allow prediction of the critical load. The book provides methods for solving various geotechnical problems using the theory of soil strength proposed by the authors. The book is intended for professionals working in the fields of soil mechanics and geotechnics as well as for students and academics in engineering earth and soil sciences and construction.

Experimental Comparisons of Usability Evaluation MethodsA Special Issue of Human-Computer Interaction This special issue contains essays regarding the CHI '95 conference which featured a panel titled Discount or Disservice? Discount Usability Analysis: Evaluation at a Bargain Price or Simply Damaged Merchandise? Wayne Gray who organized the panel presented a controversial critique of studies that had evaluated various usability evaluation methods (UEMs). The level of interest in this discussion led Gray to propose a review article that dealt with the issues in a more systematic fashion. The resulting essay written by Gray and his collaborator Marilyn Salzman conducted an in-depth review of a series of influential studies that used experimental methods to compare a variety of UEMs. Gray and Salzman's analysis was framed using Cook and Campbell's (1979) well-known discussion of various forms of validity. They used this to evaluate numerous details of these comparative studies and they concluded that the studies fell short on the criteria by which good experimental studies are designed and interpreted.

Experimental Mathematics with Maple As discrete mathematics rapidly becomes a required element of undergraduate mathematics programs algebraic software systems replace compiled languages and are now most often the computational tool of choice. Newcomers to university level mathematics therefore must not only grasp the fundamentals of discrete mathematics they must also learn to use an algebraic manipulator and develop skills in abstract reasoning.Experimental Mathematics with MAPLE uniquely responds to these needs. Following an emerging trend in research it places abstraction and axiomatization at the end of a learning process that begins with computer experimentation. It introduces the foundations of discrete mathematics and assuming no previous knowledge of computing gradually develops basic computational skills using the latest version of the powerful MAPLE software. The author's approach is to expose readers to a large number of concrete computational examples and encourage them to isolate the general from the particular to synthesize computational results formulate conjectures and attempt rigorous proofs. Using this approach Experimental Mathematics with MAPLE enables readers to build a foundation in discrete mathematics gain valuable experience with algebraic computing and develop a familiarity with basic abstract concepts notation and jargon. Its engaging style numerous exercises and examples and Internet posting of selected solutions and MAPLE worksheets make this text ideal for use both in the classroom and for self-study.

Experimental Methods in Organic Fluorine Chemistry In the fields of biologically active materials and functional materials fluorinated organic materials are becoming a focus of significant interest. Over the past decade synthetic methodologies and reagents in fluorine chemistry have been developed especially stereocontrolled synthetic methods enzymatic resolution to synthesize enantiomers fluoromethylated reagents and fluorination reagents. These methods have contributed to the opening of new pathways for fluorinated materials. However few fluorinated materials have been put to commercial use. Furthermore there remain problems to be solved such as the handling of the materials availability of reagents and selectivity (stereo- regio- and/or chemoselectivity). Research chemists technical engineers and graduate students in all branches of chemistry pharmaceutics and material science interested in fluorinated materials need to know detailed experimental procedures of how to synthesize the target fluorinated materials. This volume summarizes the chemical and microbial methods for obtaining functionalized fluorinated materials for use as building blocks; detailed experimental methods (reaction conditions solvent temperature handling techniques etc.); and the stereoview (possible absolute configuration) of the structures with spectral data. Mono- di- tri- and polyfluorinated materials derived from fluorinating agents fluoromethylated reagents and building blocks are summarized.

Experimental Methods in Psychology This text focuses on the experimental methods and the associated terminology encountered in the research literature of psychology. Initially the content is kept simple so as not to distract from the information on research technique and philosophy. Interesting psychological questions from well researched areas are then examined in detail permitting a fuller discussion of the problems encountered in specific paradigms. It is in this fashion that the book offers both methods and content. Unique features of this text include: * a detailed discussion of the process of theorizing coupled with a close examination of psychological constructs offers the reader an opportunity to see how psychologists think about develop and modify their theories and the part played by research in changing explanations of behavior. * Although it is common for psychologists to be self-conscious in their reasoning it is uncommon to see an analysis of the logic that they use to draw conclusions. Presenting material that is rarely verbalized but readily acknowledged by experienced researchers the text contains an overt analysis of the logic of drawing conclusions from research. * Instructors are given a choice among 15 chapters to focus on or combine to suit the course's concentration. For example instructors have the option of focusing on experimental psychology or a broad-based course including material on research methods in experimental social clinical and applied psychology. * Courses in experimental psychology or research methods are required for every psychology major. Statistical understanding is vital for this curriculum and this text contains a comprehensive chapter on statistics making it ideal for courses that combine statistics and experimental methods. Other important coverage includes: * an all-inclusive summary of the material found in an introductory statistics class. Although courses in research methods and experimental psychology usually have a statistics prerequisite the students rarely remember the material when entering the research course. This text provides the instructor with the option of simply assigning the statistics information as a review rather than repeating the lectures. If the course requirements are such as to necessitate a joint statistics and research methods course -- with the instructor lecturing on both topics -- this text could serve as the single text for the course. A helpful discussion -- accompanied by a valuable table -- demonstrates how to choose an appropriate statistic. All necessary formulas and other familiar statistical procedures -- illustrating computational steps -- are also featured. * a detailed discussion of how to develop tests for use in research. Aside from the value of this information for any researcher it can be particularly helpful to students who are required to develop original experiments. * an elaborate discussion of methodological issues in outcome research using smoking cessation and weight reduction programs as examples. Test bank disks for Experimental Methods in Psychology -- free to adopters -- consist of an average of six short-answer 11 fill-in-the-blank and 11 multiple-choice questions for each chapter.

Experimental Philosophy Rationalism and NaturalismRethinking Philosophical Method Experimental philosophy is one of the most exciting and controversial philosophical movements today. This book explores how it is reshaping thought about philosophical method. Experimental philosophy imports experimental methods and findings from psychology into philosophy. These fresh resources can be used to develop and defend both armchair methods and naturalist approaches on an empirical basis. This outstanding collection brings together leading proponents of this new meta-philosophical naturalism from within and beyond experimental philosophy. They explore how the empirical study of philosophically relevant intuition and cognition transforms traditional philosophical approaches and facilitates fresh ones. Part One examines important uses of traditional "armchair" methods which are not threatened by experimental work and develops empirically informed accounts of such methods that can potentially stand up to experimental scrutiny. Part Two analyses different uses and rationales of experimental methods in several areas of philosophy and addresses the key methodological challenges to experimental philosophy: Do its experiments target the intuitions that matter in philosophy? And how can they support conclusions about the rights and wrongs of philosophical views? Essential reading for students of experimental philosophy and metaphilosophy Experimental Philosophy Rationalism and Naturalism will also interest students and researchers in related areas such as epistemology and the philosophies of language perception mind and action science and psychology.

Experimental Philosophy and its Critics Experimental philosophy is one of the most recent and controversial developments in philosophy. Its basic idea is rather simple: to test philosophical thought experiments and philosophers’ intuitions about them with scientific methods mostly taken from psychology and the social sciences. The ensuing experimental results such as the cultural relativity of certain philosophical intuitions has engaged – and at times infuriated – many more traditionally minded "armchair" philosophers since then. In this volume the metaphilosophical reflection on experimental philosophy is brought yet another step forward by engaging some of its most renowned proponents and critics in a lively and controversial debate. In addition to that the volume also contains original experimental research on personal identity and philosophical temperament as well as state-of-the-art essays on central metaphilosophical issues like thought experiments the nature of intuitions or the status of philosophical expertise. This book was originally published as a special issue of Philosophical Psychology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138110502

Experimental Philosophy and the Birth of Empirical ScienceBoyle Locke and Newton How did empirical research become the cornerstone of modern science? Scholars have traditionally associated empirical research with the search for knowledge but have failed to provide adequate solutions to this basic historical problem. This book offers a different approach that focuses on human understanding - rather than knowledge - and its cultural expression in the creation and social transaction of causal explanations. Ancient Greek philosophers professed that genuine understanding of a particular subject was gained only when its nature or essence was defined. This ancient mode of explanation furnished the core teachings of late medieval natural philosophers and was reaffirmed by early modern philosophers such as Bacon and Descartes. Yet during the second half of the 17th century radical transformation gave rise to innovative research practices that were designed to explain how empirical properties of the physical world were correlated. The study unfolded in this book centres on the works of Robert Boyle John Locke and Isaac Newton - the most notable exponents of the 'experimental philosophy' in the late 17th century - to explore how this transformation led to the emergence of a recognizably modern culture of empirical research. Relating empirical with explanatory practices this book offers a novel solution to one of the major problems in the history of western science and philosophy. It thereby provides a new perspective on the Scientific Revolution and the origins of modern empiricism. At the same time this book demonstrates how historical and sociological tools can be combined to study science as an evolving institution of human understanding.

Experimental Politics and the Making of Worlds Creative strategies have been central to global social movements. From the theatrics of the 1999 Seattle protests to the rebel clowns at the 2005 G8 summit in Gleneagles and the antics of the Yes Men the crossovers between art and politics have increasingly become more visible and prolific. This book explores an innovative form of creative and communicative politics: the ’performative encounter’ as a strategy for facilitating new ways of being relating and making worlds. Unlike existing scholarship that frames such encounters in artistic or cultural terms this book analyzes performative encounters through an organizational lens to accentuate their social-political potential engaging a wealth of material from autonomist philosophy political science performance studies geography and social movement texts. Intertwining conceptual and ethnographic research it uniquely maps out one narrative of the encounter tracing a line through the twentieth century from the Berlin Dadaists to the Situationist International to several contemporary German collectives and campaigns showing how performative encounters intervene in global and local issues such as the privatization of public space and resources human mobility and the corporatization of education.

Experimental Psycholinguistics (PLE: Psycholinguistics)An Introduction How is speech produced and understood in the context of everyday communication? First published in 1975 this book is considered one the best of the early books in this field. The task of psycholinguistics is to discover how people produce and comprehend speech. This encompasses virtually all aspects of psychology including perceptual conceptual and social processes. The authors tried to capture the flavour of this approach to the psychology of language by describing the major contemporary issues problems and phenomena of the time being dealt with in laboratories and in field studies and by trying to make sense of the data they had. Experimental Psycholinguistics: An Introduction does not try to deal exhaustively with any one issue in linguistics or in psychology. Rather it tries to integrate the authors’ knowledge of language and language behaviour so that someone entering the field has an intelligible framework with which to start.

Experimental Psychology Its Scope and Method: Volume VIIIntelligence First published in English in 1969 the book opens with a chapter by Pierre Oléron on intellectual activities. These fall into three groups: inductive activities (the apprehension of laws relations and concepts) reasoning and problem solving. It describes typical methods and essential results obtained by relevant experiments. There are two chapters by Jean Piaget and his collaborator Bärbel Inhelder. The first on mental images breaks new ground: it describes original experiments carried out by Piaget and associates with children of various ages. Piaget examines the relations between images and motor activity imitation drawing and operations. He also classifies images according to their degree of complexity and show why children have inadequate images of some processes. The second chapter is on intellectual operations and Piaget gives a summary of the main findings of a number of his earlier books on the child’s notions of conservation classification seriation number measurement time speed and chance. In the last chapter Pierre Gréco discusses learning and intellectual structures. He describes the work of psychologists with rats in mazes and formulating theories of animal learning. Gestalt psychology and various other interpretations are examined and Greco also pays attention to Piaget’s view of ‘structural learning’ based on experience.

Experimental Researches After joining the staff of the Burgholzli Mental Hospital in 1900 Jung developed and applied the word-association tests for studying normal and abnormal psychology. The studies have remained a significant phase in the development of Jung's conceptions and an important contribution to diagnostic psychology and psychiatry. Between 1904 and 1907 he published nine studies on the tests. These studies together with two lectures on the association method given in 1909 at Clark University and three articles on psychophysical researches from American and English journals in 1907-1908 compose this volume. Jung's association studies showed the definite influence of Bleuler and also of Freud with whom he worked closely for several years. With this volume the Collected Works are complete except for the Miscellany Bibliography and Index volumes. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315727653

Experimentation and Innovation in Psychotherapy After a long period of relatively slow change and development the practice of psychotherapy entered a phase of vigorous experimentation in the 1960s. Greatly increased public recognition of the role of psychological approaches has brought about a dramatic upsurge of demand for mental health services on the part of broader segments of the population than ever before. Many kinds of people now seek aid and display a greater variety of symptoms and life problems than are recorded in the earlier case-history literature.The professional response to this new demand markedly increased the professions creativity and imagination as this volume outlines. While it is difficult to devise a precise category to cover all forms of such experimentation in psychotherapy one major characteristic has been an increase in activity. The non-directive or client-centered therapist frequently speaks almost as much as his client yet he is not considered active since he attempts to limit his communication to the reflection of the clients feelings.More frequently an attempt is made to distinguish between insight-oriented therapies and active therapies in terms of differing goals.Active psychotherapy is seen as being concerned with techniques that focus directly on the removal of symptoms such as anxiety or maladaptive overt behavior. The need to establish a clear dichotomy between insight and behavior modification has often been challenged: many of the therapists who stress insight do so in the belief that increased insight no matter how arrived at will modify overt behavioral anxiety. Experimentation in Psychotherapy exposes the reader to a wide variety of therapies. Although changes in treatment methods and a more short-term orientation have limited some future developments in the field this volume admirably describes the techniques traditional therapists can effectively employ given the patient's strengths and limitations.

Experimentation in Improvised JazzChasing Ideas Experimentation in Improvised Jazz: Chasing Ideas challenges the notion that in the twenty-first century jazz can be restrained by a singular static definition. The worldwide trend for jazz to be marginalized by the mainstream music industry as well as conservatoriums and schools of music runs the risk of stifling the innovative and challenging aspects of its creativity. The authors argue that to remain relevant jazz needs to be dynamic proactively experimental and consciously facilitate new ideas to be made accessible to an audience broader than the innovators themselves.　Experimentation in Improvised Jazz explores key elements of experimental jazz music in order to discern ways in which the genre is developing.　The book begins with an overview of where when and how new ideas in free and improvised jazz have been created and added to the canon developing the genre beyond its initial roots. It moves on to consider how and why musicians create free and improvised jazz; the decisions they make while playing. What are they responding to? What are they depending on? What are they thinking? The authors analyse and synthesise the creation of free jazz by correlating the latest research to the reflections provided by some of the world’s greatest jazz innovators for this project. Finally the book examines how we respond to free and improvised jazz: artistically critically and personally. Free jazz is the book argues an environment that develops through experimentation with new ideas. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367584672

Now for the first time the region is genuinely engaging with open politics; its outcome will determine whether the Balkans can cease being a byword for instability and an area whose shock-waves have disturbed the peace of Europe on many occasions. Democratisation in the Balkans explores the obstacles impeding the consolidation of democracy and even preventing a state like Serbia from going very far down the democratic road. Social scientists with expert knowledge of each of the Balkan states and their political and economic systems examine why progress in building free institutions has been slow compared to that of Central Europe the Iberian peninsula and Latin America.

Experiments in Anti-Social BehaviourTen Studies for Students For a practical hands-on approach to learning forensic psychology Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour: Ten Studies for Students presents a collection of unique projects for students that illustrate the many ways research into anti-social behaviour can be conducted whilst also highlighting social psychological aspects of criminality. Drawing on over half a century of supervising many hundreds of projects at high school undergraduate master's and doctoral levels David Canter provides well-grounded and detailed guidance for students on how to execute a range of different research studies through several psychological approaches including quantitative cognitive studies qualitative discourse analysis and social identity theory. After introducing the ethical and practical challenges of studying crime and criminality Experiments in Anti-Social Behaviour outlines broad approaches to research.

Experiments in Environmental EconomicsVolume 1 This title was first published in 2003.Over the decades experiential methods have become an established research tool in environmental economics. Economists working in this area have realised that experimental methods from economics and other disciplines such as psychology and decision theory can be applied to gain insight into the behavioral underpinnings of environmental policy. Economic experiments in the lab and field are an attractive tool to address the incentive and contextual questions that arise in environmental policy. Experiments have been and continue to be designed to capture the key elements of market and non-market choices to test theory for pattern recognition to testbed new institutions and to value public goods including environmental protection. This volume collects the most significant papers in the literature that identify the underpinnings of experimental approaches are complemented by works that specifically address the use of experimental economics to identify choice under risk conflict cooperation environmental policy instruments and environmental valuation Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138717336

Experiments in Quantitative Finance This book presents a novel approach to characterizing markets in quantitative terms. The examples cut across the world of interest rates price of gold stock market and corporate worlds that the stock market rests on and the pricing of options on financial instruments. The emphasis is on methods of inquiry methods that can just as easily be applied to other markets and other economic phenomena as well. The goal is to make the methods available to the widest possible audience of quantitative analysts and to the trading desks and investment plans they feed.Quantitative research and modeling in finance and economics have a long history going back to Frank Ramsey mathematician logician and economist who pioneered the application of dynamic models in economics in the 1920s and to his theory of the Ramsey Tax which is a rule for apportioning tax rates in a way that raises the maximum tax revenues while impacting the decisions of taxpayers as little as possible. The opposite would be a tax so inefficient that it causes people to avoid doing whatever it is that subjects them to the tax.These experiments yield valuable insight into economic affairs but they are only a stepping-stone for others—a starting point for discovery. Foremost among them is locating usable statistical findings to the investment world. Gibbons' intention is not to provide investment advice it is to provide education. These data are subject to changing results but that should not diminish their educational value. This is a proactive fusion of business economics and sound social science methods.

Expert Evidence and Scientific Proof in Criminal Trials Forensic science evidence and expert witness testimony play an increasingly prominent role in modern criminal proceedings. Science produces powerful evidence of criminal offending but has also courted controversy and sometimes contributed towards miscarriages of justice. The twenty-six articles and essays reproduced in this volume explore the theoretical foundations of modern scientific proof and critically consider the practical issues to which expert evidence gives rise in contemporary criminal trials. The essays are prefaced by a substantial new introduction which provides an overview and incisive commentary contextualising the key debates. The volume begins by placing ’forensic science’ in interdisciplinary focus with contributions from historical sociological Science and Technology Studies (STS) philosophical and jurisprudential perspectives. This is followed by closer examination of the role of forensic science and other expert evidence in criminal proceedings exposing enduring tensions and addressing recent controversies in the relationship between science and criminal law. A third set of contributions considers the practical challenges of interpreting and communicating forensic science evidence. This perennial battle continues to be fought at the intersection between the logic of scientific inference and the psychology of the fact-finder’s ’common sense’ reasoning. Finally the volume’s fourth group of essays evaluates the (limited) success of existing procedural reforms aimed at improving the reception of expert testimony in criminal adjudication and considers future prospects for institutional renewal - with a keen eye to comparative law models and experiences success stories and cautionary tales.

Expert Systems in FinanceSmart Financial Applications in Big Data Environments Throughout the industry financial institutions seek to eliminate cumbersome authentication methods such as PINs passwords and security questions as these antiquated tactics prove increasingly weak. Thus many organizations now aim to implement emerging technologies in an effort to validate identities with greater certainty. The near instantaneous nature of online banking purchases transactions and payments puts tremendous pressure on banks to secure their operations and procedures.In order to reduce the risk of human error in financial domains expert systems are seen to offer a great advantage in big data environments. Besides their efficiency in quantitative analysis such as profitability banking management and strategic financial planning expert systems have successfully treated qualitative issues including financial analysis investment advisories and knowledge-based decision support systems. Due to the increase in financial applications’ size complexity and number of components it is no longer practical to anticipate and model all possible interactions and data processing in these applications using the traditional data processing model. The emergence of new research areas is clear evidence of the rise of new demands and requirements of modern real-life applications to be more intelligent.This book provides an exhaustive review of the roles of expert systems within the financial sector with particular reference to big data environments. In addition it offers a collection of high-quality research that addresses broad challenges in both theoretical and application aspects of intelligent and expert systems in finance. The book serves to aid the continued efforts of the application of intelligent systems that respond to the problem of big data processing in a smart banking and financial environment.

Expert TeachersAn international perspective Expert Teachers is a compelling book that explores issues surrounding the concept of the expert teacher from a truly international perspective. Expert teaching a global phenomenon that exerts significant influence on education policy and practice has developed rapidly since the 1980s and significantly impacted many teachers’ careers. As a result this book poses pertinent and important questions scrutinising the topic as well as considering possibilities for future models. The book reviews and expands upon issues such as: What does it mean to be an ‘expert’ teacher? What have been the most successful models of expert teaching? Is rewarding a minority of the ‘best’ teachers a sustainable method of raising standards? What is the role of expertise in furthering the aim to make teaching a ‘top tier’ career? What are the dominant and emerging models of expert teaching globally? What ways can we expect models of expert teaching to develop in the future? With case studies of specific systems and analyses of the issues and context therein this book offers an exceptional insight into the effects of expert teaching models – their effects on the teacher as an individual as well as standards and education policy internationally. The book argues that the current focus on pursuing misleading high-stakes test scores is underserving the teaching profession and that instead the focus for expert teaching should be grounded in issues of social justice and community wellbeing. This book will appeal greatly to current teachers those currently undertaking teacher training and students or academics carrying out research in the field of teacher education professional development and expertise.

Expertisation and Democracy in Europe Expertisation and Democracy in Europe provides a much-needed account of the role and re-organisation of expertise and expert knowledge in Europe and the European Union in a broad range of policy spheres contributing to the debate triggered by the recent crises. It brings novel perspectives to debates on technocracy and our understanding of the relations between knowledge experts and democracy. The book explores and assesses new and old linkages between knowledge expertise and democracy and expands and deepens the current debates by addressing questions such as: What is the role of expertise in Europe? How is knowledge of different kinds embedded in and decisive for democratic practice in contemporary democracies? How are we to assess recent transformations of the expert-citizens and government-civil society relationships from the perspective of democracy and which paths are viable in the years to come? Finally the book engages with and gives flesh to the notion of expertisation not only as a broad political and societal diagnosis but also as a multidimensional and deeply contested process that enfolds in concrete practices and institutional settings.This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of European studies European and European Union politics democracy public policy international relations sociology gender studies and media studies.

Expertise Pedagogy and Practice Expertise Pedagogy and Practice takes as its focus recent work on situated and embodied cognition the concepts of expertise skill and practice and contemporary pedagogical theory. This work has made important steps towards overcoming traditional intellectualist and individualist models of cognition group interaction and learning but has in turn generated a number of important questions about the shape of a model that emphasizes learning and interaction as situated and embodied. Bringing together philosophers cognitive scientists and education theorists the collection asks and explores a variety of different questions. Can a group learn? Is expertise distributed? How can we make sense of a normative dimension of expertise or skill? How situation-specific is expertise? How can groups shape or generate expert practice?　Through these lenses this collection advances a more experientially holistic approach to the characterisation and growth of human expertise.

Expertise and TechnologyCognition & Human-computer Cooperation Technological development has changed the nature of industrial production so that it is no longer a question of humans working with a machine but rather that a joint human machine system is performing the task. This development which started in the 1940s has become even more pronounced with the proliferation of computers and the invasion of digital technology in all wakes of working life. It may appear that the importance of human work has been reduced compared to what can be achieved by intelligent software systems but in reality the opposite is true: the more complex a system the more vital the human operator's task. The conditions have changed however whereas people used to be in control of their own tasks today they have become supervisors of tasks which are shared between humans and machines. A considerable effort has been devoted to the domain of administrative and clerical work and has led to the establishment of an internationally based human-computer interaction (HCI) community at research and application levels. The HCI community however has paid more attention to static environments where the human operator is in complete control of the situation rather than to dynamic environments where changes may occur independent of human intervention and actions. This book's basic philosophy is the conviction that human operators remain the unchallenged experts even in the worst cases where their working conditions have been impoverished by senseless automation. They maintain this advantage due to their ability to learn and build up a high level of expertise -- a foundation of operational knowledge -- during their work. This expertise must be taken into account in the development of efficient human-machine systems in the specification of training requirements and in the identification of needs for specific computer support to human actions. Supporting this philosophy this volume *deals with the main features of cognition in dynamic environments combining issues coming from empirical approaches of human cognition and cognitive simulation *addresses the question of the development of competence and expertise and *proposes ways to take up the main challenge in this domain -- the design of an actual cooperation between human experts and computers of the next century.

The essays illustrate the complexity intrinsic to the production and use of expert knowledge particularly during transition from specialist communities to other domains such as policy formulation regulatory standard setting and litigation. Several themes pervade the collection. These include the need to recognize that: expert knowledge and opinion is often complex controversial and contested; there are no simple criteria for resolving disagreements between experts; appeals to 'objectivity' and 'impartiality' tend to be rhetorical rather than analytical; contests in expertise are frequently episodes in larger campaigns; there are many different models of expertise and knowledge; processes designed to deal with expert knowledge are unavoidably political; questions around who is an expert and what should count as expertise are not always self-evident; and the evidence rarely 'speaks for itself'.

Experts and Democratic LegitimacyTracing the Social Ties of Expert Bodies in Europe Experts and Democratic Legitimacy challenges the technocratic reading of expert bodies such as central banks advisory committees and regulatory agencies. Expert contributors ask in what way expert bodies are subject to some of the key pressures in contemporary governance such as democratisation politicisation and expertisation. Based on empirical studies the book traces the multiple social ties of expert bodies and refines the common perception of expert bodies as ‘de-politicised’ institutions that are detached from political interference and societal input. It further theorises the tension and reconcilability between reliable independent expert knowledge on the one hand and the need for accountability and legitimacy in modern policy-making on the other hand. Refining the detached de-politicised image of non-majoritarian institutions Experts and Democratic Legitimacy will be of great interest to scholars of European studies political and social theory modern governance and policy-making.

Experts Versus LaymenA Study of the Patsy and the Subcontractor This book studies the relationship and balance of power between experts and laymen. It is rooted in the author's analysis of customer and contractor interactions in the housing industry but relevant to other kinds of expert-layman relationships. Many of the conflicts between customer and contractor noted by the author also occur in lawyer-client student-teacher and doctor-patient relations.The author's research is structured around three core categories pertaining to experts' relations with laymen: choosing experts power symmetry and what he calls "elsewhereism." The first category has to do with seeking experts finding them referrals and judging whether or not to use experts. Power symmetry concerns the inherent imbalance of power between an expert and a layman. "Elsewhereism" focuses on the constant competition that laymen face with unseen others in claiming the time and services of an expert.Experts versus Laymen broadens the analysis of expert-layman phenomena far beyond similar studies. It examines processes of bidding gaining information inspecting and evaluating work winning trust bargaining over costs and determining who has situational control. This book discusses not only the contracting process in the housing industry but—far more important—a world of power and domination in expert-laymen relationships.

ExpertsThe Knowledge and Power of Expertise In this book Stehr and Grundmann outline the theoretical significance and practical importance of the growing stratum of experts counsellors and advisors in contemporary society and claim that the growing spectrum of knowledge-based occupations has led to the pluralisation of expertise. As decision makers in organizations and private citizens for various reasons increasingly seek advice from experts the authors examine the nature of expert activity and suggest that the role of experts needs to be distinguised from other roles such as professionals scientists or intellectuals. Experts they argue perform knowledge based activities that mediate between the context of knowledge creation and application. Existing approaches tend to restrict the role of the expert to scientists or to conflate the roles of professionals with experts. In avoiding such restrictions this book sets out a framework to understanding the growing role of expertise in a better way.

Explaining EnvironmentalismIn Search of a New Social Movement This title was first published in 2000:  The author examines those current theories which purport to explain the emergence and character of 'new' social movements in the 'advanced' industrial societies since the 1960s. In particular it sets out to test the efficacy of these explanations in relation to the history of the environmental movement in Britain. The book breaks new ground in bringing together both short-term and the more historically orientated long-term explanations into a single volume thus providing an invaluable resource for students of social movements. Its critical exposition of major theories also points to the need for a more developmental approach which seeks to connect old and new movement forms thus allowing for a more balanced evaluation of the potential of the environmental movement to bring about significant social change.

Explaining EU Internal Security CooperationThe Problem(s) of Producing Public Goods Internal security is often hailed as a rapidly expanding area of European integration with a growing number of strategies policies and framework agreements in recent years. Yet actual cooperation when viewed closely proceeds at a halting pace – raising questions as to why cooperation appears so problematic. This book presents a novel theoretically-informed way to understand internal security cooperation in Europe. The approach treats internal security as a "public good" requiring collective action amongst sovereign governments. All governments must contribute to the production of a public good; once produced the public good benefits all governments. Fundamental obstacles to producing a public good thus arise and can help explain the underlying difficulties facing European cooperation on internal security matters. The chapters in this book apply a public goods approach to different internal security issues ranging from terrorism to border management and from environmental security to natural disasters. Each study demonstrates how the various goals of internal security cooperation resemble different forms of public goods – and thus present different kinds of obstacles to effective cooperation. This book fills a theoretical gap in the literature on European internal security cooperation with a proven approach increasingly used in other scholarly fields. This book was published as a special issue of European Security. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138793255

Explaining Explanation This second edition of David-Hillel Ruben's influential and highly acclaimed book on the philosophy of explanation has been revised and expanded and the author has made substantial changes in light of the extensive reviews the first edition received. Ruben's views on the place of laws in explanation has been refined and clarified. What is perhaps the central thesis of the book his realist view of explanation describing the way in which explanation depends on metaphysics has been updated and extended and engages with some of the work in this area published since the book's first edition.

Explaining GuanxiThe Chinese Business Network Guanxi a system of Chinese business relationships is often described but is rarely fully understood. Though it seems intangible there is no doubt that it has contributed significantly to the success of Chinese entrepreneurs and the places where they work. Translated loosely as ‘personal ties’ this simple explanation belies a complex and nuanced system. Guanxi has often been criticised as nepotism - unfair inefficient even corrupt and generally detrimental to business and economic growth… but if it is that bad how does it survive? This insightful book unravels the origins of Guanxi and provides a much-needed explanation of the phenomena. It investigates: why it was initiated and developed what function it serves how it is maintained why it is such a dominant phenomenon in Chinese business life Combining economics law and culture this clear and concise book looks to the future of Guanxi based on its history. Drawing on cultural organizational and economic studies it takes a multi-disciplinary approach integrating these various topics into a coherent explanation of Guanxi ensuring that this illuminating book will be equally useful to students of Asian business as to practitioners working within this market.

Explaining in the Primary School This book is one of a set of eight innovative yet practical resource books for teachers focussing on the classroom and covering vital skills for primary and secondary teachers. The books are strongly influenced by the findings of numerous research projects during which hundreds of teachers were observed at work. The first editions of the series were best sellers and these revised second editions will be equally welcomed by teachers eager to improve their teaching skills. Ted Wragg and George Brown show what explanation is and what it aims to do. The book explores the various strategies open to teachers and through a combination of activities and discussion points helps them to build up a repertoire of ideas approaches and techniques which are suitable for various situations as well as evaluate the effectiveness of their explanations in the classroom. Along the way it covers such issues as:*the use of an appropriate language register*the place of analogies *building on children's questions*coping strategies for effective explanationThe ability to explain something clearly is a skill which effective teachers use every day. Explanation is the foundation on which the success or failure of a great deal of other forms of teaching can rest. Well done it saves time and provides motivation. Badly done it produces uncertainty or even puts children off their studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138176768

Explaining Individual Differences in ReadingTheory and Evidence Research into reading development and reading disabilities has been dominated by phonologically guided theories for several decades. In this volume the authors of 11 chapters report on a wide array of current research topics examining the scope limits and implications of a phonological theory. The chapters are organized in four sections. The first concerns the nature of the relations between script and speech that make reading possible considering how different theories of phonology may illuminate the implication of these relations for reading development and skill. The second set of chapters focuses on phonological factors in reading acquisition that pertain to early language development effects of dialect the role of instruction and orthographic learning. The third section identifies factors beyond the phonological that may influence success in learning to read by examining cognitive limitations that are sometimes co-morbid with reading disabilities contrasting the profiles of specific language impairment and dyslexia and considering the impact of particular languages and orthographies on language acquisition. Finally in the fourth section behavioral-genetic and neurological methods are used to further develop explanations of reading differences and early literacy development. The volume is an essential resource for researchers interested in the cognitive foundations of reading and literacy language and communication disorders  or psycholinguistics; and those working in reading disabilities learning disabilities special education and the teaching of reading.

Explaining Inequalities in School AchievementA Realist Analysis Inequalities in educational opportunity have been a persistent feature of all school systems for generations with conventional explanations of differences in educational attainment tending to be reduced to either quantitative or non-quantitative 'list' theories. In this groundbreaking book Roy Nash argues that a realist framework for the sociological explanation of educational group differences can and must be constructed. A move to such an explanatory framework will allow us to take into account the social influences of early childhood development the later emergence of social identities and the nature of the social class impact of educational and career decision-making. By building on the critical analyses of the theories of Bourdieu Boudon and Bernstein this book makes a vital contribution to the current policy and theoretical debate about the causes of educational inequality.

Explaining Inequality Inequalities in incomes and wealth have increased in advanced countries making our economies less dynamic our societies more unjust and our political processes less democratic. As a result reducing inequalities is now a major economic social and political challenge. This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the economics of inequality. Until recently economic inequality has been the object of limited research efforts attracting only modest attention in the political arena; despite important advances in the knowledge of its dimensions a convincing understanding of the mechanisms at its roots is still lacking. This book summarizes the topic and provides an interpretation of the mechanisms responsible for increased disparities. Building on this analysis the book argues for an integrated set of policies addressing the roots of inequalities in incomes and wealth Explaining Inequality will be of interest to students researchers and practitioners concerned with inequality economic and public policy and political economy.

Explaining One's Self To OthersReason-giving in A Social Context To date the study of communicated explanations has been at best unsystematic. There has been little recognition that many if not most explanations are eventually delivered to a hearer or hearers. These potential audiences constrain the way the explanation is ultimately shaped. Similarly researchers have devoted themselves to the study of "accounts " for the most part without an accompanying interest in the fundamental processes of event comprehension. This volume is devoted to bridging the gap between these two traditions. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138969346

Explaining Pakistan’s Foreign PolicyEscaping India Pakistan has over the decades become a hotbed for the terrorist ideology often referred to as Jihadism. This book investigates the underlying principles of Pakistan’s foreign policy from 1947 until the present day and explains the rise of Jihadism as an offshoot of Pakistan’s security concerns. The book goes on to discuss that from its inception as a separate state Pakistan’s foreign policy focused on ‘seeking parity’ with India and ‘escaping’ from an Indian South Asian identity. The desire to achieve parity with its much larger neighbour led Pakistan to seek the assistance and support of allies. The author analyses the relationship Pakistan has with Afghanistan United States China and the Muslim world and looks at how these relationships are based on the desire that military economic and diplomatic aid from these countries would bolster Pakistan’s meagre resources in countering Indian economic and military strength. The book presents an interesting contribution to South Asian Studies as well as studies on International Relations and Foreign Policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138783560

Explaining Policy Change in the European Union's Eastern Neighbourhood This edited volume discusses and challenges the conventional wisdoms dominating the scholarship on policy change in the EU's Eastern neighbourhood countries. Drawing upon new empirical evidence underpinning the contributions to this volume the authors argue that compliance with or convergence to EU policies continue despite high costs limited capacities and the lack of EU membership prospects. The contributions also challenge country-level or policy-type explanations that emphasise membership aspirations asymmetric interdependencies between the EU and the neighbourhood countries or the level of politicisation or institutionalisation characterising particular policy fields. Finally the volume’s findings point towards important differences between membership accession and neighbourhood Europeanisation by highlighting factors that have been ignored by students of EU enlargement. These factors include the role of Russia which is an important regional power and of transnational actors such as multinational companies or international finance institutions as well as the impact of informal domestic veto players on policy change in the EU’s Eastern neighbourhood. This book was originally published as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138951105

Explaining Railway Reform in ChinaA Train of Property Rights Re-arrangements Having been state-owned for decades the railway reform in China confused many people particularly in terms of its ownership and property rights arrangements. Western literature always prescribes that the best model for railway reform is privatization. China’s leadership has also enunciated the state’s determination to re-arrange property rights and rejuvenate corporate governance. But is China’s railway reform really a story of convergence and will the Chinese government follow the western model of railway reform?Addressing these questions this book provides a positive explanation of the reform in China’s railway sector between 1978 and the dissolution of the Ministry of Railways. It bridges the socialist reform and transport policy literature and studies the empirical changes of the property rights arrangements in China’s railway system. Refuting the convergence theory it concludes that the cyclical reform policies of decentralization and re-centralization were actually an exploratory and interactive mechanism of "assets discovery" and "assets recovery". This in-depth study is based on 21 face-to-face interviews with railway cadres as well as field trips to collect first-hand information in Guangzhou Beijing Shanghai Tianjin and Wuhan.As one of the only empirical studies on the reform of the railway sector in China this book will be of interest to students and scholars of China studies Transport studies and Political Economy.

Explaining Right and WrongA New Moral Pluralism and Its Implications Explaining Right and Wrong aims to shake the foundations of contemporary ethics by showing that moral philosophers have been deploying a mistaken methodology in their efforts to figure out the truth about what we morally ought to do. Benjamin Sachs argues that moral theorizing makes sense only if it is conceived of as an explanatory project and carried out accordingly. The book goes on to show that the most prominent forms of moral monism—consequentialism Kantianism and contractarianism/contractualism—as well as Rossian pluralism each face devastating explanatory objections. It offers in place of these flawed options a brand-new family of normative ethical theories non-Rossian pluralism. It then argues that the best kind of non-Rossian pluralism will be spare; in particular it will deny that an action can be wrong in virtue of constituting a failure to distribute welfare in a particular way or that an action can be wrong in virtue of constituting a failure to rescue. Furthermore it also aims to show that a great deal of contemporary writing on the distribution of health care resources in cases of scarcity is targeted at questions that either have no answers at all or none that ordinary moral theorizing can uncover.

Explaining Risk AnalysisProtecting health and the environment Risk analysis is not a narrowly defined set of applications. Rather it is widely used to assess and manage a plethora of hazards that threaten dire implications. However too few people actually understand what risk analysis can help us accomplish and even among experts knowledge is often limited to one or two applications. Explaining Risk Analysis frames risk analysis as a holistic planning process aimed at making better risk-informed decisions and emphasizing the connections between the parts. This framework requires an understanding of basic terms including explanations of why there is no universal agreement about what risk means much less risk assessment risk management and risk analysis. Drawing on a wide range of case studies the book illustrates the ways in which risk analysis can help lead to better decisions in a variety of scenarios including the destruction of chemical weapons management of nuclear waste and the response to passenger rail threats. The book demonstrates how the risk analysis process and the data models and processes used in risk analysis will clarify rather than obfuscate decision-makers’ options. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of risk assessment risk management public health environmental science environmental economics and environmental psychology.

Explaining Science's SuccessUnderstanding How Scientific Knowledge Works Paul Feyeraband famously asked what's so great about science? One answer is that it has been surprisingly successful in getting things right about the natural world more successful than non-scientific or pre-scientific systems religion or philosophy. Science has been able to formulate theories that have successfully predicted novel observations. It has produced theories about parts of reality that were not observable or accessible at the time those theories were first advanced but the claims about those inaccessible areas have since turned out to be true. And science has on occasion advanced on more or less a priori grounds theories that subsequently turned out to be highly empirically successful. In this book the philosopher of science John Wright delves deep into science's methodology to offer an explanation for this remarkable success story.

Explaining UnderstandingNew Perspectives from Epistemology and Philosophy of Science What does it mean to understand something? What types of understanding can be distinguished? Is understanding always provided by explanations? And how is it related to knowledge? Such questions have attracted considerable interest in epistemology recently. These discussions however have not yet engaged insights about explanations and theories developed in philosophy of science. Conversely philosophers of science have debated the nature of explanations and theories while dismissing understanding as a psychological by-product. In this book epistemologists and philosophers of science together address basic questions about the nature of understanding providing a new overview of the field.　 False theories cognitive bias transparency coherency and other important issues are discussed. Its 15 original chapters are essential reading for researchers and graduate students interested in the current debates about understanding. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367736767

Explanation Laws and Causation Scientific explanation laws of nature and causation are crucial and frontier issues in the philosophy of science. This book studies the complex relationship between the three concepts aiming to achieve a holistic synthesis about explanation–laws–causation. By reviewing Hempel's scientific explanation models and Salmon's three conceptions – the epistemic modal and ontic conception – the book suggests that laws are essential to explanation and that our understanding of laws will help solve the problems of the latter. Concerning the nature of laws this book tackles both the problems of regularity approach and necessitarian approach. It also proposes that the ontological order of explanation should be from events (or processes) to causation then to regularity (laws) and finally to science system but the epistemological order should be from science system to laws to explanation and causation. In addition this book examines the legitimacy of ceteris paribus laws the connection between explanation and reduction the relation between explanation and interpretation and some other issues closely related to explanation–laws–causation. This book will attract scholars and students of philosophy of science natural sciences social sciences etc.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367522902

Explanation and Experience in Social Science According to their critics social scientists rarely ask the right questions and cannot provide satisfactory answers even to the questions they ask themselves. Social scientists often discuss the nature of knowledge in their fields with a notable lack of clarity. Explanation and Experience in Social Science by Robert Brown dispels the confusion with cogency and wit; it is a systematic sensible and lucid analysis of the nature of the explanations put forward by social scientists.Explanation-making is first distinguished from "describing" and "reporting " and then classified into different types based on different kinds of information used. The greater part of the book consists in discussion and examination of these types of explanation and their relationships in which the usefulness and limitations of each are assessed. An extraordinary variety of examples from contemporary work in all the social sciences is used including the fields of sociology anthropology psychology history demography political science. and economics. The author makes it clear that good social explanation is possible and that it conforms to the requirements of all good scientific explanation.Explanation and Experience in Social Science is of interest to the practicing scientist--in fact--it is a must-have for any personal or public library with collections in the social sciences. Most studies in the philosophy of the sciences natural and social fall into two distinct groups: those written by philosophers for other philosophers and those produced by scientists for their fellow-scientists. The aim of this book is to discuss questions of philosophical interest as they come to be imbedded in the work of social scientists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523296

Explanation in Action Theory and HistoriographyCausal and Teleological Approaches Is the appropriate form of human action explanation causal or rather teleological? While this is a central question in analytic philosophy of action it also has implications for questions about the differences between methods of explanation in the sciences on the one hand and in the humanities and the social sciences on the other. Additionally this question bears on the problem of the appropriate form of explanations of past human actions and therefore it is prominently discussed by analytic philosophers of historiography. This volume brings together causalists and anti-causalists to address enduring philosophical questions at the heart of this debate as well as their implications for the practice of historiography. Part I considers the quarrel between causalism and anti-causalism in recent developments in the philosophy of action. Part II presents papers by causalists and anti-causalists that are more narrowly focused on the philosophy of historiography. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138584402

Exploding Technical CommunicationWorkplace Literacy Hierarchies and Their Implications for Literacy Sponsorship Within the framework of New Literacy Studies Dirk Remley presents a historical study of how technical communication practices at a World War II arsenal sponsored literacy within the community in which it operated from 1940 to 1960 and contemporary implications of similar forms of sponsorship. The Training within Industry (TWI) methods developed by the U.S. government and industry at that time included multimodal literate practices particularly combinations of visual oral experiential and print-linguistic text. Analyses reveal a hierarchy in which print-linguistic literacies were generally esteemed at the workplace and in the community. This literacy hierarchy contributed to a catastrophic accident that killed 11 people prompting changes in the approach to designing certain training documents. This book links technical communication especially the multimodal forms of representation commonly found in technical communication and instructional materials to the concept of literacy sponsorship. The TWI methods used in training and system improvement during World War II are currently applied in business and industry as part of the "lean operating" and "continuous improvement" philosophies. These methods have also become part of the experiential learning philosophy favored in academia. Remley includes examples of current applications of multimodal forms of technical communication similar to those used at the arsenal as well as new media-related applications related to training and instruction. He also discusses their implications for literacy sponsorship. This book provides useful information for technical communication and literacy scholars and educators as well as practical case studies for business leaders consultants and practitioners. Intended Audience: Scholars in technical communication and literacy/writing studies; scholars in business (especially management and organizational analysis) and business communication consultants; scholars in history and sociology.

Exploding the Myth?The Peace Dividend Regions and Market Adjustment From a cold war peak of some $1000 billion per annum world military expenditure has declined by about 40% since 1990 reaching its lowest level for thirty years. With such significant decline in global public expenditure committments to the defence sector a substantial and lasting peace dividend was anticipated. Most governments believed that market forces left more or less to their own devices would deal effectively with this major exogenous shock and generate sufficient new economic activity to allow increased public expenditure on health education and welfare. The approach of this book is to challenge the fundamental but flawed belief that a substantial and lasting peace dividend could be secured through market solution alone. The principal assertion is that market adjustment by itself cannot deliver such a dividend.The book focuses on the major aspects of the economic business and security consequences of post Cold War defence expenditure reduction. Key problems obstructing optimal market response are identified and possible remedial action by government and others is considered. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138002326

Exploiting the Limits of LawSwedish Feminism and the Challenge to Pessimism Moving beyond the question of whether an area of scholarly investigation can truly be characterized as 'legal' Exploiting the Limits of Law combats the often unhelpful constraints of law's subject-matter and formal processes. Through a process of reflection on the limits of law and repeated efforts to redraw them this book challenges the general sense of pessimism among feminists and others about the usefulness of law as an instrument of change. The work combines theoretical analysis of the law's boundaries with investigation of the practical settings for changing legal and policy environments. Both the empirical focus of this volume and its underlying theoretical concern with the limits of the law and its gender implications render it of interest to legal scholars throughout the world whether of EU law feminism social policy or philosophy.

Exploration in Development IssuesSelected Articles of Nurul Islam This title was first published in 2003. Nurul Islam currently head of economic and social policy at the FAO/UN and a key advisor at the International Food Policy Research Institute has been a renowned expert on economic development for the past thirty years. Over that time he has researched and written about a wide range of economic development issues focussing mainly on policy. For the first time ever his most important writings have been brought together in this volume reflecting not only Professor Islam’s own views on particular issues but also providing a unique overview of the key debates and discussions taking place among academic economist and policy analysts over the past three decades. The collection is divided into three main sections: trade and aid development strategy and food security the section on food security being the most recent. It discusses food security in a broad sense covering issues of availability and growth in food production access or entitlement of individuals or households to basic food and variability in food supplies and prices. In the section on Development Strategy Professor Islam highlights how theoretical argument has veered away from organized ’development planning’ models which proved so important in the 1960s. He questions the role of models and policies throughout the decades and following articles written in the 1970s or 80s he includes articles he has recently completed assessing the previous ones from his current perspective. In the final section on Trade and Aid he follows the academic debate on trade and exchange rate policies in developing countries from the 1960s to the progress of the WTO forums of today. This is a wide-ranging and thought-provoking volume. No matter whether the subject in question was examined in the 1960s or currently Professor Islam provides a challenging and insightful analysis and even the earliest articles retain relevance and will be of continuing interest.

Exploration of the South Seas in the Eighteenth Century: Rediscovered Accounts Volume IIVoyage Round the World Performed under the Directio The publication of key voyaging manuscripts has contributed to the flourishing of enduring and prolific worldwide scholarship across numerous fields. These navigators and their texts were instrumental in spurring on further exploration annexation and ultimately colonisation of the pacific territories in the space of only a few decades. This series will present new sources and primary texts in English paving the way for postcolonial critical approaches in which the reporting writing rewriting and translating of Empire and the ‘Other’ takes precedence over the safeguarding of master narratives. Each of the volumes contains an introduction that sets out the context in which these voyages took place and extensive annotations clarify and explain the original texts. The translated accounts of voyages undertaken by foreign vessels abounded in an era when they encouraged not only competitive geopolitical initiatives but also commercial enterprises throughout Europe resulting in a voluminous textual corpus. However French merchant-seaman Etienne Marchand’s journal of his voyage round the world in 1790-1792 encompassing an important visit to the Marquesas Archipelago during his first crossing of the Pacific remained unpublished until 2005 and has only now been made available in English. The second volume of this series comprises an annotated translation in English of this document. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138689862

Captain Samuel Wallis was the first Englishman to come across the Tuamotus and the Society Isles in the South Pacific specifically Tahiti. His writings predate the available textual sources by Louis-Antoine de Bougainville the logs of the Spanish voyages and James Cook — whose text Wallis’ prefigures. The three logs attest to the very first encounter between Europeans and Tahitians but until now comparatively little research has been conducted on the more elaborate second volume and none on the first. The Polynesian archipelagos grew into objects of discourse over the years and Wallis' logs may very well be located at the heart of these evocative constructs.

Explorations in Art Theology and Imagination Christianity has repeatedly valued the "Word" over and above the non-verbal arts. Art has been seen through the interpretative lens of theology rather than being valued for what it can bring to the discipline. 'Explorations in Art Theology and Imagination' argues that art is crucially important to theology. The book explores the interconnecting themes of embodiment and incarnation faith and imagination and the similarities and differences between art and theology. Arguing for a critique that begins with art and moves to theology 'Explorations in Art Theology and Imagination' offers a radical re-evaluation of the role of art in Christian discourse.

Explorations in Christian Theology and EthicsEssays in Conversation with Paul L. Lehmann Engaging variously with the legacy of Paul L. Lehmann these essays argue for a reorientation in Christian theology that better honours the formative power of the gospel to animate and shape doctrine and witness as well as ethical and political life. The authors explore key themes in Christian theology and ethics - forgiveness discernment responsibility spirituality the present day tasks of theology and the role of faith in public life - making plain the unabated importance of Lehmann's work at this juncture in contemporary theology. The internationally recognized contributors draw crucial connections between the gospel of reconciliation the form of Christian theology and witness and the challenges of contemporary ethical and political reflection. This book demonstrates why this close friend of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and author of Ethics in a Christian Context and The Transfiguration of Politics continues to influence generations of theologians in both the English-speaking world and beyond.

Explorations in Cognitive Neuropsychology Cognitive neuropsychology has now established a major place in the teaching of undergraduate psychology degrees and is an important topic of postgraduate research. The subject is also of increasing interest to clinicians because of its links with devising remediation procedures for people with brain injury. Explorations in Cognitive Neuropsychology is the first major text to appear on this topic since the late 1980s and thus introduces the reader to a vast amount of research previously unavailable in textbook format. The book is written in a lively and engaging style which nonetheless enables the reader to get a scholarly in-depth overview of this important field. The coverage of topics is very broad-ranging. It begins with an overview of the subject including issues such as research strategy and advances in neuroimaging. Following this are chapters on blindsight agnosia facial processing impairments and the rapidly growing area of neglect. The next chapter is devoted to studies of the split brain. Two chapters then cover the enormous developments in devising functional architectures of the language system from the observation of discrete language impairments. Various aspects of memory impairments are then discussed and the book ends with a consideration of frontal lobe functions. At various points the book also covers the contribution of connectionist modelling to cognitive neuropsychology. Media > Books > E-books Psychology Press 9781315784861

Explorations in Critical Studies of Advertising This volume provides a thoughtful and wide-ranging exploration of approaches to the critical study of advertising. Current and impending practices of advertising have in many ways exceeded the grasp of traditional modes of critique due at least in part to their being formulated in very different historical conditions. To begin to address this lag this edited collection explores through critical discussion and application a variety of critical approaches to advertising. Authors address a variety of concrete examples in their chapters drawing on existing research while presenting new findings where relevant. In order to maintain the relevance of this collection past this particular historical moment however chapters do not simply report on empirical work but develop a theoretical argument.

Explorations in DaoismMedicine and Alchemy in Literature The Daoist canon is the definitive fifteenth century compilation of texts concerning ritual alchemical and meditation practices within Daoist religion. Many of these texts are undated and anonymous so dating them is essential for a clear understanding of the development of Chinese alchemy and the place of these texts in history. Ho Peng Yoke's Explorations in Daoism brings together an extraordinary compendium of data on alchemical knowledge in China describing the methods used for dating important alchemical texts in the Daoist canon and reconstructing and translating a number of alchemical texts that exist only in fragments scattered throughout the Daoist canon pharmacopoeia and other compendia. This book provides a clear guide for students and scholars about the methods required for dating and reconstituting texts using techniques that can be applied to other areas of traditional Chinese culture also. As such this book will appeal to those interested in Chinese alchemy the history of science Daoism and Chinese history. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415691277

Explorations In Global EthicsComparative Religious Ethics And Interreligious Dialogue This volume for the first time brings the scholarly discipline of comparative religious ethics into constructive collaboration with the community of interreligious dialogue. Its design is premised on two important insights. First interreligious dialogue offers to comparative religious ethics a new more persuasive rationale agenda of issues and practical orientation. Second comparative religious ethics offers to interreligious dialogue an arsenal of critical tools and methods which will enhance the sophistication of its practical work. In this way both theory (a dominant concern and strength of comparative religious ethics) and praxis (a dominant concern and strength of interreligious moral dialogue) are joined together in mutual effort each contributing to the benefit of the other.The volume's contributors share this vision of collaboration drawing explicitly from both communities of discourse in a manner that crosses disciplinary and professional boundaries to deal creatively and constructively with important methodological and global moral issue. Although theory and practice cannot easily be separated in such a collaborative project for the purpose of clarity the volume is divided into two main parts. The first specifically engages questions of method theory and the social role of the public intellectual; the second on substantive moral themes and issues many of which were raised at the 1993 Parliament. Taken together the volume's essays articulate and illustrate new ways of approaching contemporary moral concerns cross-culturally yet with a rigor appropriate to our complex and pluralistic world.

Explorations in Global Media Ethics Studies of global media and journalism have repeatedly returned to discussions of ethics. This book highlights the difficulty that journalists encounter when establishing appropriate ethical practices and marks the pressing importance of global media ethics as a subject of current debate. A wide range of contributors – both scholars and practitioners of journalism – identify how changes in journalism practice developments in new media technologies legal regulations and shifting patterns of ownership all play a role in creating ethical tensions for journalists with some chapters in the book suggesting practical solutions to this pertinent issue. The growing need to faithfully represent other diverse cultural groups is also considered with certain chapters discussing the impact that human rights freedom and justice have upon journalistic decision making. Explorations in Global Media Ethics recognises that with the escalation of globalisation and a public striving for honest quality media journalists around the world face an increasing pressure to comply with and simultaneously satisfy diverse ethical practices at both a local and a more global level. The book sympathises with the position of the journalist and calls for greater consideration of his ambiguous role. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.

Explorations in Maximizing Syntactic Minimization This volume presents a series of papers written by Epstein Kitahara and Seely each of which explores fundamental linguistic questions and analytical mechanisms proposed in recent minimalist work specifically concerning recent analyses by Noam Chomsky. The collection includes eight papers by the collaborators (one with Miki Obata) plus three additional papers each individually authored by Epstein Kitahara and Seely that cover a range of related topics including: the minimalist commitment to explanation via simplification; the Strong Minimalist Thesis; strict adherence to simplest Merge Merge (X Y) = {X Y} subject to 3rd factor constraints; and state-of-the-art concepts and consequences of Chomsky’s most recent proposals. For instance the volume clarifies and explores: the properties of Merge feature inheritance and Agree; the nature of phases cyclicity and countercyclicity; the properties of Transfer; the interpretation of features and their values and the role formal features play in the form and function of syntactic operations; and the specific properties of derivations partially ordered rule application and the nature of interface representations. At the cutting edge of scholarship in generative syntax this volume will be an essential resource for syntax researchers seeking to better understand the minimalist program.

Explorations in Neuroscience Psychology and Religion In the 1990s great strides were taken in clarifying how the brain is involved in behaviors that in the past had seldom been studied by neuroscientists or psychologists. This book explores the progress begun during that momentous decade in understanding why we behave think and feel the way we do especially in those areas that interface with religion. What is happening in the brain when we have a religious experience? Is the soul a product of the mind which is in turn a product of the brain? If so what are the implications for the Christian belief in an afterlife? If God created humans for the purpose of having a relationship with him should we expect to find that our spirituality is a biologically evolved human trait? What effect might a disease such as Alzheimer's have on a person's spirituality and relationship with God? Neuroscience and psychology are providing information relevant to each of these questions and many Christians are worried that their religious beliefs are being threatened by this research. Kevin Seybold attempts to put their concerns to rest by presenting some of the scientific findings coming from these disciplines in a way that is understandable yet non-threatening to Christian belief.

Explorations in Place Attachment The book explores the unique contribution that geographers make to the concept of place attachment and related ideas of place identity and sense of place. It presents six types of places to which people become attached and provides a global range of empirical case studies to illustrate the theoretical foundations. The book reveals that the types of places to which people bond are not discrete. Rather a holistic approach one that seeks to understand the interactive and reinforcing qualities between people and places is most effective in advancing our understanding of place attachment.

Explorations in Structural AnalysisDual and Multiple Networks of Social Interaction At a time when most of the innovative techniques in empirical sociology concern themselves with networks of relations among variables (such as indices of occupational prestige education and income) the central theme of this volume is that there is much substantive insight and analytical leverage to be gained from a conceptualization of social structure directly as regularities in the patterning of relations among concrete entities. The view adopted here is that variate distributions measure selected consequences of structural pattern (of the actual connections among individuals or organizations) and as such they are useful indicators of questions to be asked in analyzing social structures directly but they are neither descriptions nor analyses of the structure itself.

Explorations in Urban and Regional DynamicsA case study in complexity science The task of modelling the evolution of cities – the dynamics â€“ is one of the major challenges of the social sciences. This book presents mathematical and computer models of urban and regional dynamics and shows how advances in computer visualisation provide new insights. Models of non-linear systems in general have three characteristics: multiple equilibria ‘path dependence’ over time and phase transitions – that is abrupt change at critical parameter values. These phenomena all exhibit themselves in reality and it is an ongoing task to match model-based analysis with real phenomena. There are three key features of cities and regions to be represented in models: activities at a location – residence health education work and shopping; flows between locations – spatial interaction; and the structures that carry these activities – buildings transport and communications networks. Spatial interaction and many elements of activities’ location can be modelled by statistical averaging procedures which are related to Boltzmann’s methods in statistical mechanics. This is while the evolution of structure can be represented in equations that connect to the Lotka-Volterra equations in ecology. Within this broad framework alternative approaches can be brought to bear. This book uses entropy-maximising versions of spatial interaction models. The authors explore the dynamics in more detail using advanced visualisation techniques. These ideas have wide potential uses and the book illustrates this with applications in history and archaeology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367869335

Explorations in Urban DesignAn Urban Design Research Primer Whilst recognising that distinctly different traditions exist within the study and practice of urban design this book advances an interdisciplinary and innovative approach which is of direct importance to understanding the urban forms conditions practices and processes. It enthuses and inspires users who are grappling with urban design research problems but who need inspiration to move from idea to methodological approach. Through the work of 32 urban researchers from the arts sciences and social sciences it demonstrates a wide range of problems and approaches and shows how the diverse range of complementary approaches can come together to provide a holistic understanding to the design of cities. While each of the contributors presents a particular approach to researching the field sometimes focusing centrally on particular research methodologies others cutting across methods or focusing on theory all include discussion of actual research projects to illustrate their application to 'real world' problems. This book will be valuable to everyone from the informed undergraduate student about to embark on their first dissertation to PhD students and seasoned researchers immersed in methodological and conceptual complexity and wishing to compare available and appropriate methodological paths.

Explorations in Urban Theory For over three decades urban theorist Michael Peter Smith has engaged in constructing innovative theories on central research questions in urban studies. This book brings together his views on the state of urban theory sorting out the changing strengths and weaknesses in the field.  Smith refocuses attention on the cultural social and political practices of urban inhabitants particularly the way in which their everyday activities have contributed to the social construction of new ethnic identities and new meanings of urban citizenship. Combining the methods of political economy and transnational ethnography he encourages us to think about new political spaces for practicing "urban citizenship" by analyzing the connections linking cities to the web of relations to other localities in which they are embedded.  Smith systematically analyzes the dynamics of "community power" and "urban change" under new globalizing trends and increased transnational mobility. Expanding on his original conceptualization of "transnational urbanism " he frames urban political life within a wider transnational context of political practice in which an endless interplay of distinctly situated networks social practices and power relations are fought out at multiple scales in an inexorable politics of inclusion and exclusion.

Explorations into the Self This rewarding work is the product of sustained observation of and reflection on phenomena arising out of three broad topics in the field of analytical psychology. Firstly it analyses and evaluates the ambiguity in Jung's definitions and metaphors about the self while at the same time expounding the theory of the self as a dynamic system evolving through deintegration and reintegration processes during early infancy and childhood. Secondly it investigates the relation of the ego to the self giving notable consideration to psychoanalytic work. Finally the presence of the self behind or within both the religious and the alchemical experience is explored. Fordham's innovative and original view of the self further extends our understanding of its dynamics and helps to establish some sense of the complementariness as well as differences between Jung and Klein.

Exploratory Multivariate Analysis by Example Using R Full of real-world case studies and practical advice Exploratory Multivariate Analysis by Example Using R Second Edition focuses on four fundamental methods of multivariate exploratory data analysis that are most suitable for applications. It covers principal component analysis (PCA) when variables are quantitative correspondence analysis (CA) and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) when variables are categorical and hierarchical cluster analysis.The authors take a geometric point of view that provides a unified vision for exploring multivariate data tables. Within this framework they present the principles indicators and ways of representing and visualising objects that are common to the exploratory methods. The authors show how to use categorical variables in a PCA context in which variables are quantitative how to handle more than two categorical variables in a CA context in which there are originally two variables and how to add quantitative variables in an MCA context in which variables are categorical. They also illustrate the methods using examples from various fields with related R code accessible in the FactoMineR package developed by the authors.  Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9780367658021

Exploring Aniconism This book explores the phenomenon of aniconism—the denotation of the presence of gods saints or spiritual forces using non-figural visual markers that do not resemble these supranatural entities. The contributors show how various types of aniconism differ in how they mediate divine presence and relate to other modes of representation. Aniconism is rarely absolute; each aniconic form needs to be considered within a spectrum of visual modes ranging from the abstract to the anthropomorphic. The chapters examine aniconism in paleolithic cultures; in ancient Egypt Israel and Greece; in early Christianity and Islam; in medieval and contemporary Hinduism; and in 17th–19th century Scottish-Gaelic contexts. The volume also provides a critical historiography of ‘aniconism’ as an academic concept a new fine-tuned terminology and some general characteristics of aniconic expressions in the context of the broader field of material religion. Offering a multi-faceted discussion of this important category of religious material culture this book will be of interest to those with an interest in aniconism as well as those involved in the wider study of how religion intersects with art and anthropology. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Religion journal. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367357764

Exploring Atmospheres Ethnographically The notion of atmosphere has always been part of academic discourse but often refers to something vague and diffuse - a phenomenon connected with our affective engagement with the world that is difficult to grasp. This volume develops and refines the concept of atmosphere seeking to render it productive for anthropological and social scientific research by bringing together a range of original ethnographic studies in combination with investigation of the use of the term in language. The chapters examine dimensions of atmosphere through topics of interdisciplinary concern such as learning and the acquisition of skills the experience of place affect and mood multi-species relations and the perception of weather and environment - whether in natural landscapes medical and educational settings homes or creative contexts - Exploring Atmospheres Ethnographically analyses the relational and transformational processes through which people perceive experience and live in a moving atmospheric world. As such it will appeal to scholars of anthropology sociology geography and cultural studies with interests in space and place sensory ethnography and affect.

Exploring Base PoliticsHow Host Countries Shape the Network of U.S. Overseas Bases This book sheds light on the mechanisms of base politics that surround US overseas military bases comparing several countries across different regions. Analysing cases from Japan Greenland Germany Italy Turkey Saudi Arabia South Korea and Singapore the contributors paint a detailed and complex picture of the role and impact of US bases. In times of war they project military power and in times of peace they deter the emergence of general and latent threats. Furthermore they are used to secure access to resources and as a means of politically and economically influencing small and mid-size countries. From the viewpoint of the countries that host them military bases allow the host many benefits of the US security umbrella but can cause internal problems including accidents and noise pollution that accompany the functioning of a base as well as constraining their own sovereignty. Military bases do not simply serve to bring America strategic and security benefits - as symbols of the hierarchical structure of the international system they influence power relations in the entire world. An invaluable resource for scholars of International Relations with an interest in the practical and theoretical challenges of the US’s relationship with its allies.

Exploring Climate Change through Science and in SocietyAn anthology of Mike Hulme's essays interviews and speeches Mike Hulme has been studying climate change for over thirty years and is today one of the most distinctive and recognisable voices speaking internationally about climate change in the academy in public and in the media. The argument that he has made powerfully over the last few years is that climate change has to be understood as much as an idea situated in different cultural contexts as it is as a physical phenomenon to be studied through universal scientific practices. Climate change at its core embraces both science and society both knowledge and culture. Hulme’s numerous academic and popular writings have explored what this perspective means for the different ways climate change is studied narrated argued over and acted upon. Exploring Climate Change through Science and in Society gathers together for the first time a collection of his most popular prominent and controversial articles essays speeches interviews and reviews dating back to the late 1980s. The 50 or so short items are grouped together in seven themes - Science Researching Culture Policy Communicating Controversy Futures - and within each theme are arranged chronologically to reveal changing ideas evidence and perspectives about climate change. Each themed section is preceded with a brief introduction drawing out the main issues examined. Three substantive unpublished new essays have been specially written for the book including one reflecting on the legacy of Climategate. Taken as a collection these writings reveal the changes in scientific and public understandings of climate change since the late 1980s as refracted through the mind and expression of one leading academic and public commentator. The collection shows the many different ways in which it is necessary to approach the idea of climate change to interpret and make sense of the divergent and discordant voices proclaiming it in the public sphere.

Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural NetworksReadings in Cognitive Neuropsychology and Connectionist Modelling Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural Networks analyses the contribution made by cognitive neuropsychology and connectionist modelling to theoretical explanations of cognitive processes. Bringing together evidence from both damaged brains and neural networks this exciting and innovative approach leads to re-evaluation of traditional theories: connectionist models lesioned to mimic the residual function of the damaged brain and rehabilitated to simulate the process of recovery suggest underlying mechanisms and challenge previous interpretations.In this reader key articles by leading international researchers are combined with linking commentaries that provide a context highlight the conceptual themes and evaluate the evidence. Carefully selected to include hotly debated topics the papers cover among others the controversies surrounding explanations for category specificity in object recognition and for covert recognition of faces and words; the mechanisms underlying the use of regular and irregular past tenses; and the reading of regularly and irregularly spelled words. The challenges posed by connectionist models to assumptions about the nature of dissociations the need for symbolic rule-based operations in language processing and the modularity and localisation of processes are assessed.Exploring Cognition: Damaged Brains and Neural Networks will be of interest to advanced undergraduates postgraduates and researchers in cognitive neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience.

Exploring Critical Digital Literacy PracticesEveryday Video in a Dual Language Context In this book Jessica Zacher Pandya examines the everyday videomaking practices of students in a dual language under-resourced school in order to explore the ways children interrogate their worlds the kinds of identities they craft and the language and literacy learning practices that emerge from digital video production. Focusing on vulnerable populations who are often left out of innovative in- and out-of-school digital media projects—including English language learners immigrants and children with special needs—this book offers an expanded understanding of children’s critical digital literacy practices and shows how videomaking in the regular curriculum affords opportunities for redistributive social justice. Weaving together pedagogical methodological social and political concerns into her examination of a real-world context Pandya offers a practical and informative analysis of making videos in schools; examines the impact of videomaking on students’ language use and agency; and adds significantly to current theorizations of digital and new literacies.

Exploring Digital CommunicationLanguage in Action Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics primarily designed for those beginning postgraduate studies or taking an introductory MA course as well as advanced undergraduates. Titles in the series are also ideal for language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative ‘practice to theory’ approach with a ‘back-to-front’ structure. This leads the reader from real-world problems and issues through a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns before finally relating these practical issues to theoretical foundations. Exploring Digital Communication aims to discuss real-world issues pertaining to digital communication and to explore how linguistic research addresses these challenges. The text is divided into three sections (Problems and practices; Interventions; and Theory) each of which is further divided into two subsections which reflect linguistic issues relating to digital communication. The author seeks to demystify any perceived divide between online and offline communication arguing that issues raised in relation to digital communication throw light on language use and practices in general and thus linguistic interventions in this area have implications not only for users of digital communication but for linguists’ general understanding of language and society. Including relevant research examples tasks and a glossary this textbook is an invaluable resource for postgraduate and upper undergraduate students taking New Media or Communication Studies modules within Applied Linguistics and English Language courses.

Exploring Disability Identity and Disability Rights through NarrativesFinding a Voice of Their Own Building on David M. Engel and Frank W. Munger’s work analyzing the narratives of people with physical and learning disabilities this book examines the life stories of twelve physically disabled Canadian adults through the prism of the social model of disablement. Using a grounded theory approach and with extensive reporting of the thoughts of the participants in their own words the book uses narratives to explore whether an advocacy identity helps or hinders dealings with systemic barriers for disabled people in education employment and transportation. The book underscores how both physical and attitudinal barriers by educators employers and service providers complicate the lives of disabled people. The book places a particular focus on the importance of political economy and the changes to the labour market for understanding the marginalization and oppression of people with disabilities. By melding socio-legal approaches with insights from feminist critical race and queer legal theory Ravi Malhotra and Morgan Rowe ask if we need to reconsider the social model of disablement and proposes avenues for inclusive legal reform.

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education.

Exploring Evidence-based PracticeDebates and Challenges in Nursing Despite sustained debate and progress the evolving thing that is evidence based nursing or practice (EBP) continues to dangle a variety of conceptual and practical loose threads. Moreover when we think about what is being asked of students and registered or licenced practitioners in terms of EBP it is difficult not to concede that this ‘ask’ is in many instances quite large and occasionally it may be unachievable. EBP has and continues to improve patient client and user care. Yet significant questions concerning its most basic elements remain unresolved and if nurses are to contribute to the resolution or reconfiguration of these questions then as a first step we must acknowledge their existence. From a range of international standpoints and perspectives contributors to this book focus on aspects of EBP that require development. This focus is always robust and at times it is unashamedly provocative. Contributors challenge readers to engage with anomalies that surround the subject and readers are asked to consider the often precarious assumptions that underpin key aspects of EBP. While both conflict and concord are evident among the various offerings presented here the book nonetheless creates and sustains a narrative that is bigger or more substantial than the sum of individual parts. And across contributions a self-assuredly critical stance towards EBP as currently practiced conceptualized and taught coexists alongside respectful admiration for all who make it happen. Exploring Evidence-based Practice: Debates and Challenges in Nursing should be considered essential reading for academics and postgraduate students with an interest in evidence-based practice and nursing research.

Exploring Family Relationships With Other Social Contexts In the 1990s it is no longer "news" that families do not operate independently from other social organizations and institutions. Instead it is generally recognized that families are embedded in a complex set of relationships with other institutions and contexts outside the family. In spite of this recognition a great deal remains to be discovered about the ways in which families are influenced by these outside agencies or how families influence the functioning of children and adults in these extra-familial settings--school work day-care or peer group contexts. Moreover little is known about the nature of the processes that account for this mutual influence between families and other societal institutions and settings. The goal of this volume is to present examples from a series of ongoing research programs that are beginning to provide some tentative answers to these questions. The result of a summer workshop characterized by lively exchanges not only between speakers and the audience but among participants in small group discussions as well this volume attempts to communicate some of the dynamism and excitement that was evident at the conference. In the final analysis this book should stimulate further theoretical and empirical advances in understanding how families relate to other contexts.

Exploring Giftedness and AutismA study of a differentiated educational program for autistic savants Savant and splinter skills are seen in memory art music or spatial skill amongst others. They can appear remarkable but tend to be seen as 'obsessive' behaviors. Exploring Giftedness and Autism is based on a unique study which introduces and explores a differentiated curriculum and presents a combination of strategies employed in the education of gifted children and autistic children. Providing insights on the obsessive nature of savant skills the challenging behaviors of savants and the familial link between the subject child’s savant abilities and giftedness the author highlights how the inclusion of this curriculum is critical in promoting better school performance and post-school employment opportunities. The study has demonstrated the importance of using a ‘strengths’ rather than a ‘deficits’ approach in the education of students with a disability and regards autistic savants as gifted students with disabilities or as ‘twice-exceptional’ students with autism. With a practical section dedicated to putting the research into practice this book is an incredibly important read for anyone working with gifted young people with disabilities in the classroom.

Exploring Green CriminologyToward a Green Criminological Revolution Few criminologists have drawn attention to the fact that widespread and significant forms of harm such as green or environmental crimes are neglected by criminology. Others have suggested that green crimes present the most important challenge to criminology as a discipline. This book argues that criminology needs to take green harms more seriously and to be revolutionized so that it forms part of the solution to the large environmental problems currently faced across the world. It asks how criminology should be redesigned to consider green/environmental harm as a key area of study in an era where destruction of the earth and the world’s ecosystem is a major concern and examines why this has remained unaccomplished so far. The chapters in this book apply an environmental frame of reference underlying a green approach to issues which can be addressed from within criminology and which can encourage criminologists and environmentalists to respond and react differently to environmental crime.

Exploring Institutional Logics for Technology-Mediated Higher Education This book articulates the complexities inherent in higher education’s multi-faceted response to the forces of mediatization—or how institutions change when their social communication gets mediated by technology—and introduces a novel perspective to comprehend them in a systematic way. By drawing on archival analysis and six organizational case studies the author empirically traces the emergence of a cyber-cultural institution within higher education. As these case studies demonstrate this new institutional logic requires creativity individual recognition and an underlying platform powered by cyber technologies and digitization of content. Using an analytical lens this cyber-cultural perspective answers many questions about why faculty refuse to adopt online education why students struggle with mediated teaching and what possibly could be done to take online education to its next level.

Exploring Language Change In this student-friendly text Jones and Singh explore the phenomenon of language change with a particular focus on the social contexts of its occurrence and possible motivations including speakers’ intentions and attitudes. Presenting new or little-known data the authors draw a distinction between "unconscious" and "deliberate" change. The discussion on "unconscious" change considers phenomena such as the emergence and obsolescence of individual languages whilst the sections on "deliberate" change focus on issues of language planning including the strategies of language revival and revitalization movements. There is also a detailed exploration of what is arguably the most extreme instance of "deliberate" change; language invention for real-world use. Examining an extensive range of language situations Exploring Language Change makes a clear but often ignored distinction between concepts such as language policy and planning and language revival and revitalization. Also featured are a number of case studies which demonstrate that real-life language use is often much more complex than theoretical abstractions might suggest. This is a key text for students on a variety of courses including sociolinguistics historical linguistics and language policy and planning. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315017006

Exploring Magic Realism in Salman Rushdie's Fiction Kluwick breaks new ground in this book moving away from Rushdie studies that focus on his status as postcolonial or postmodern and instead considering the significance of magic realism in his fiction. Rushdie’s magic realism in fact lies at the heart of his engagement with the post/colonial. In a departure from conventional descriptions of magic realism—based primarily on the Latin-American tradition—Kluwick here proposes an alternative definition allowing for a more accurate description of the form. She argues that it is disharmony rather than harmony that is decisive: that the incompatibility of the realist and the supernatural needs to be recognized as a driving force in Rushdie’s fiction. In its rigorous analysis of this Rushdian magic realism this book considers the entire corpus—Midnight’s Children Shame The Satanic Verses The Moor’s Last Sigh The Ground Beneath Her Feet Shalimar the Clown and The Enchantress of Florence. This study is the first of its kind to do so. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415897785

Exploring MasculinitiesFeminist Legal Theory Reflections While masculinities theory has had much to say on relationships of subordination few feminist legal scholars have examined the implications of masculinities theory for feminist legal theory. This volume investigates the ways in which emerging masculinities theory in law could inform feminist legal theory in particular and law in general. As many of the chapters in this collection illustrate law is constantly in a dynamic interaction with masculinities: it has both influenced existing masculinities and has been influenced by those masculinities. The contributions focus feminist and critical theoretical attention on masculinities and consider the implications of masculinities theory for law and legal theory. The book sets out the theoretical trajectory of masculinities studies as a field and its application in law and uses insights from a masculinities approach to study socio-political construction of gender identities in specific settings. It also explores how understanding historical construction of gender identities can inform more effective public policy and activism. Written by leading experts in the area the book poses important questions about the development of the relationship between feminisms and masculinities theory and will be essential reading for those working in law and gender and related areas.

Exploring Mathematics and Science Teachers' KnowledgeWindows into teacher thinking Globally mathematics and science education faces three crucial challenges: an increasing need for mathematics and science graduates; a declining enrolment of school graduates into university studies in these disciplines; and the varying quality of school teaching in these areas. Alongside these challenges internationally more and more non-specialists are teaching mathematics and science at both primary and secondary levels and research evidence has revealed how gaps and limitations in teachers’ content understandings can lead to classroom practices that present barriers to students’ learning. This book addresses these issues by investigating how teachers’ content knowledge interacts with their pedagogies across diverse contexts and perspectives. This knowledge-practice nexus is examined across mathematics and science teaching traversing schooling phases and countries with an emphasis on contexts of disadvantage. These features push the boundaries of research into teachers’ content knowledge. The book’s combination of mathematics and science enriches each discipline for the reader and contributes to our understandings of student attainment by examining the nature of specialised content knowledge needed for competent teaching within and across the two domains.

Exploring Morality and Sexuality in Asian CinemaCinematic Boundaries This ground-breaking book explores the moral dimensions of sexual imagery in contemporary general-release Asian films. It examines debates that arise over aesthetic styles and the cultural and traditional influences that determine the content and impact of these films. The social and regulatory environments for filmmakers across Asia reflect distinct national and cultural differences. In just the past decade for instance Indian cinema has rapidly moved from representations of coy and submissive female protagonists to highly eroticized leading ladies unafraid of flaunting their sexuality. On the other hand the cinema emerging from the Chinese mainland has been much more circumspect in its representations of overt sexuality at times in conflict with other Chinese cinemas from Hong Kong and Taiwan. This use of sexual imagery or morally questionable film content raises on-going debates into censorship and the use of state or industry controls to protect certain sectors of society from exposure to particular narratives or images. Film like all forms of art fulfils a number of aesthetic functions for local regional and international audiences. As distribution and technological advances make Asian films more readily available across the globe an understanding of the different aesthetics at play will enable readers of this book to recognize key cultural motifs in representations of onscreen sexuality and the surrounding controversies found in cinematic texts from Asia.

Exploring Natural HazardsA Case Study Approach The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 has identified four priority areas for Disaster Risk Reduction: understanding disaster risk; strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response; and to "Build Back Better" in recovery rehabilitation and reconstruction. Although tremendous progress has been made in recent decades in understanding the workings of the Earth systems and in particular its impacts on and responses to human actions there remains a continuing and pressing need for knowledge that will allow society to simultaneously reduce exposure to global environmental hazards while also meeting economic development goals. Exploring Natural Hazards: A Case Study Approach contributes to the knowledge showcasing advanced practices for the monitoring of natural hazards.Through each case study the book examines mainly hazards arising from processes within the hydrosphere and atmosphere triggered or exacerbated by inputs to and transfers of energy between environmental components. It discusses the causes of these phenomena and ways in which improved policy making sometimes coupled with the application of appropriate modern technologies can help to reduce people’s exposure to harm.Discussing challenges lessons learned and recommendations this book provides a snapshot of issues related to tropical cyclones and typhoons desertification floods lightning as a hazard and the need for alert systems. It is a valuable resource for practitioners and professionals alike for researchers students and others who work at the intersection between environmental hazards sustainable development and social justice.　 Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9780367571924

Exploring New Monastic CommunitiesThe (Re)invention of Tradition Examining the recent radical re-invention of monastic tradition in the everyday life of New Monastic Communities Exploring New Monastic Communities considers how growing up in the wake of Vatican II new Catholic communities are renewing monastic life by emphasizing the most innovative and disruptive theological aspects which they identify in the Council. Despite freely adopting and adapting their Rule of Life the new communities do not belong to pre-existing orders or congregations: they are gender-mixed with monks and nuns living under the same roof; they accept lay members whether single married or as families; they reject enclosure; they often limit collective prayer time in order to increase time for labour evangelization and voluntary social work; and are actively involved in oecumenical and interreligious dialogue harbouring thinly-veiled sympathy with oriental religions from which they sometimes adopt beliefs and practices. Offering unique sociological insights into New Monastic Communities and shedding light on questions surrounding New Religious Movements more generally the book asks what 'monastic' means today and whether these communities can still be described as 'monastic'.

Exploring Ordinary TheologyEveryday Christian Believing and the Church 'Ordinary theology' characterizes the reflective God-talk of the great majority of churchgoers and others who remain largely untouched by the assumptions concepts and arguments that academic theology takes for granted. Jeff Astley coined the phrase in his innovative study Ordinary Theology: Looking Listening and Learning in Theology arguing that 'speaking statistically ordinary theology is the theology of God's Church'. A number of scholars have responded to this and related conceptualizations exploring their theological implications. Other researchers have adopted the perspective in examining a range of Church practices and contexts of Christian discipleship using the tools of empirical study. Ordinary theology research has proved to be key in uncovering people's everyday lay theology or ordinary dogmatics. Exploring Ordinary Theology presents fresh contributions from a wide range of authors who address the theological empirical and practical dimensions of this central feature of ordinary Christian existence and the life of the Church.

Exploring Peace FormationSecurity and Justice in Post-Colonial States This volume examines the dynamics of socio-political order in post-colonial states across the Pacific Islands region and West Africa in order to elaborate on the processes and practices of peace formation. Drawing on field research and engaging with post-liberal conceptualisations of peacebuilding this book investigates the interaction of a variety of actors and institutions involved in the provision of peace security and justice in post-colonial states. The chapters analyse how different types of actors and institutions involved in peace formation engage in and are interpenetrated by a host of relations in the local arena making ‘the local’ contested ground on which different discourses and praxes of peace security and justice coexist and overlap. In the course of interactions new and different forms of socio-political order emerge which are far from being captured through the familiar notions of a liberal peace and a Weberian ideal-type state. Rather this volume investigates how (dis)order emerges as a result of interdependence among agents thus laying open the fundamentally relational character of peace formation. This innovative relational liminal and integrative understanding of peace formation has far-reaching consequences for internationally supported peacebuilding. This book will be of much interest to students of statebuilding peace studies security studies governance development and IR. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367457723

Exploring Sport and Leisure DisastersA Socio-Legal Perspective First published in 2001. This book provides a socio-legal analysis of disasters by setting out two sport and leisure disasters (the 1989 Hillsborough and Marchioness disasters) and considering them in their broader legal/political/economic and policy contexts. It bases the analysis on in-depth examinations of the legal responses to these disasters. The foundations for the case studies are laid by reviewing critiques of relevant contemporary legal problems. These include the concepts and contexts of disasters; the law in a liberal democracy; negligence mass actions and policy in PTSD cases; statutory regulation of and safety; the laws of corporate reckless manslaughter and the contemporary legal problems of inquests and public inquiries into disasters. The theoretical and policy chapters are followed by the presentation of the two case study disasters drawing on documentary sources and interviews with academics policy makers key legal practitioners and campaigners for legal reform involved in these post-disaster legal processes. The analysis returns to the critical themes of the earlier chapters and ends with conclusions and recommendations for further research and legal reform arising out of this area of ‘disaster law’. Students in sport and leisure courses will be required to tackle legal and ethical issues. Law modules and courses in sport and law are developing an increasingly socio-legal if not multi-disciplinary approach. This book takes account of this taking a critical multi-disciplinary approach to sport leisure and the law. However it will be useful to a broader group of readers who study practice or work in the law or legal reform and apply their work to disasters. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367137342

Organized around four main themes—Identifying with the Teacher Image; Constructing the Teacher with Content; Imaging the Teacher as Savior; The Teacher Construct as Commentary—the chapters examine the complicated mixture of fact stereotype and misrepresentation that create the image of the teacher in the public eye today. This examination in turn allows teacher educators to use popular culture as curriculum. Using the fictional teacher as a text preservice—and practicing—teachers can examine positive and negative (and often misleading) representations of teachers in order to develop as teachers themselves.

Exploring the Boundaries of International Criminal Justice This collection discusses appropriate methodologies for comparative research and applies this to the issue of trial transformation in the context of achieving justice in post-conflict societies. In developing arguments in relation to these problems the authors use international sentencing and the question of victims' interests and expectations as a focus. The conclusions reached are wide-ranging and haighly significant in challenging existing conceptions for appreciating and giving effect to the justice demands of victims of war and social conflict. The themes developed demonstrate clearly how comparative contextual analysis facilitates our understanding of the legal and social contexts of international punishment and how this understanding can provide the basis for expanding the role of restorative international criminal justice within the context of international criminal trials.

Exploring the cultural ideological and economic legacies of Euro 2012 European National football came together in the summer of 2012 for the 14th occasion. This book sets out to examine the enduring social tensions between supporters and authorities as well as those between local national and European identities which formed the backdrop to the 14th staging of the European National football tournament Euro2012. The context of the tournament was somewhat unique from those staged in previous years being jointly hosted for the first time by two post-Communist nations still in the process of social and economic transition. In this respect the decision to stage Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine bore its own material and symbolic legacies shaping the tournament: the unsettling of neo-liberal imaginings and emergent ‘East-West’ fears about poor infrastructure inefficiencies and corruption jostled with moral panics about racism and fears surrounding the potentially unfulfilled consumerist expectations of west European supporters. The book seeks to explore the ideologies and practices invoked by competing national sentiments and examine the social tensions ambiguities and social capital generating potentials surrounding national ethnic European identity with respect to national football teams supporters and supporter movements. This book was published as a special issue of Soccer and Society. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138058156

Exploring the InfiniteAn Introduction to Proof and Analysis Exploring the Infinite addresses the trend toward a combined transition course and introduction to analysis course. It guides the reader through the processes of abstraction and log- ical argumentation to make the transition from student of mathematics to practitioner of mathematics. This requires more than knowledge of the definitions of mathematical structures elementary logic and standard proof techniques. The student focused on only these will develop little more than the ability to identify a number of proof templates and to apply them in predictable ways to standard problems. This book aims to do something more; it aims to help readers learn to explore mathematical situations to make conjectures and only then to apply methods of proof. Practitioners of mathematics must do all of these things. The chapters of this text are divided into two parts. Part I serves as an introduction to proof and abstract mathematics and aims to prepare the reader for advanced course work in all areas of mathematics. It thus includes all the standard material from a transition to proof" course. Part II constitutes an introduction to the basic concepts of analysis including limits of sequences of real numbers and of functions infinite series the structure of the real line and continuous functions. 　 Features Two part text for the combined transition and analysis course New approach focuses on exploration and creative thought Emphasizes the limit and sequences Introduces programming skills to explore concepts in analysis Emphasis in on developing mathematical thought Exploration problems expand more traditional exercise sets Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9781498704496

Exploring the Limits in Personnel Selection and Classification Beginning in the early 1980s and continuing through the middle 1990s the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) sponsored a comprehensive research and development program to evaluate and enhance the Army's personnel selection and classification procedures. This was a set of interrelated efforts collectively known as Project A. Project A had a number of basic and applied research objectives pertaining to selection and classification decision making. It focused on the entire selection and classification system for Army enlisted personnel and addressed research questions that can be generalized to other personnel systems. It involved the development and evaluation of a comprehensive array of predictor and criterion measures using samples of tens of thousands of individuals in a broad range of jobs. The research included a longitudinal sample--from which data were collected at organizational entry--following training after 1-2 years on the job and after 3-4 years on the job. This book provides a concise and readable description of the entire Project A research program. The editors share the problems strategies experiences findings lessons learned and some of the excitement that resulted from conducting the type of project that comes along once in a lifetime for an industrial/organizational psychologist. This book is of interest to industrial/organizational psychologists including experienced researchers consultants graduate students and anyone interested in personnel selection and classification research.

Exploring the New South American Regionalism (NSAR) The events and processes that have taken place in the last decade in South America have given way to one of the most interesting regional phenomena under a global crisis and within a changing world order. From the traditional status of Washington´s backyard and reign of economic and political stability South America has increasingly turned into a region marked by a heterodox development in the light of other dominant regional tendencies of development-the European Union NAFTA and the Asia Pacific. The political economic nature of the new South American regionalism (NSAR) is far from echoing the dominant interpretations about it which reflects the major regional projects today. Given the reach and scope of the existing literature on the topic of the NSAR there is an important gap concerning its academic exploration in relation to its nature of development political economic complexity challenges and orientations. In this sense this book explores from a wider and pluralist political economic perspective the developmental dimensions of the NSAR within a changing hemispheric and world order in transformation. It analyses a set of specific debates: regionalism in the Americas then and now; social and economic development and regional integration; and organized crime intelligence and defence. An in depth and critical reflection on the complex and heterogeneous path of regionalization taking place in South America from different perspectives and in key issues of regional development.

Exploring the Next FrontierVietnam NASA Star Trek and Utopia in 1960s and 70s American Myth and History The 1960s and early 70s saw the evolution of Frontier Myths even as scholars were renouncing the interpretive value of myths themselves. Works like Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War exemplified that rejection using his experiences during the Vietnam War to illustrate the problematic consequences of simple mythic idealism. Simultaneously Americans were playing with expanded and revised versions of familiar Frontier Myths though in a contemporary context through NASA’s lunar missions Star Trek and Gerard K. O’Neill’s High Frontier. This book examines the reasons behind the exclusion of Frontier Myths to the periphery of scholarly discourse and endeavors to build a new model for understanding their enduring significance. This model connects NASA’s failed attempts to recycle earlier myths wholesale to Star Trek’s revision of those myths and rejection of the idea of a frontier paradise to O’Neill’s desire to realize such a paradise in Earth’s orbit. This new synthesis defies the negative connotations of Frontier Myths during the 1960s and 70s and attempts to resuscitate them for relevance in the modern academic context.

Exploring Videogames with Deleuze and GuattariTowards an affective theory of form Videogames are a unique artistic form and to analyse and understand them an equally unique language is required. Cremin turns to Deleuze and Guattari’s non-representational philosophy to develop a conceptual toolkit for thinking anew about videogames and our relationship to them. Rather than approach videogames through a language suited to other media forms Cremin invites us to think in terms of a videogame plane and the compositions of developers and players who bring them to life. According to Cremin we are not simply playing videogames we are creating them. We exceed our own bodily limitations by assembling forces with the elements they are made up of. The book develops a critical methodology that can explain what every videogame irrespective of genre or technology has in common and proceeds on this basis to analyse their differences. Drawing from a wide range of examples spanning the history of the medium Cremin discerns the qualities inherent to those regarded as classics and what those qualities enable the player to do. Exploring Videogames with Deleuze and Guattari analyses different aspects of the medium including the social and cultural context in which videogames are played to develop a nuanced perspective on gendered narratives caricatures and glorifications of war. It considers the processes and relationships that have given rise to industrial giants the spiralling costs of making videogames and the pressure this places developers under to produce standard variations of winning formulas. The book invites the reader to embark on a molecular journey through worlds neither ‘virtual’ nor ‘real’ exceeding image analogy and metaphor. With clear explanations and detailed analysis Cremin demonstrates the value of a Deleuzian approach to the study of videogames making it an accessible and valuable resource for students scholars developers and enthusiasts.

Exploring White Privilege Exploring white privilege is an enterprise few of us who identify as white have attempted. White privilege is a foreign territory to us although an unpleasantly familiar territory to people of color. At first the exploration can seem threatening frightening and uncomfortable because like any exploration it can shatter the way we look at the world and how we understand ourselves. This book is in part a personal exploration of the author’s white privilege and how he sought to transcend it. It is also a sociological analysis of white privilege drawing upon key social science literature. The book is an invaluable tool for personal and group explorations of racial privilege as well as other forms of privilege including gender. Exploring White Privilege offers an analysis of white privilege as well as numerous examples of systemic white privilege in the U.S. Amico explains the cognitive and emotive factors that play a role in making it difficult for most white Americans to understand learn and accept the sociological facts about systemic racism. While white privilege is generally understood as a system that benefits white people Amico investigates the psychological social and spiritual costs of white privilege to white people. And with a deeper understanding of how white privilege affects us all questions of moral responsibility and accountability are investigated through personal anecdotes.　 The author offers a moral argument that is a call to action within our individual spheres of influence. The benefits of such a commitment to action are then explored and compared to the costs of inaction. Exploring white privilege can lead to social change. Amico offers a variety of tools for the reader interested in such explorations of their white privilege. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138213081

Export Dependence versus the New ProtectionismConstraints on Trade Policy in the Industrial World In an international political economy characterised both by constancy and change this study first published in 1996 links together one seemingly incongruous continuity in international trade relations with an increasingly dramatic development in the economies of industrial countries. On the one hand industrialised countries have become progressively dependent upon one another. On the other hand the liberal international trade regime has yet to falter. These two points are tied together by seeking to explain the maintenance of liberal trade relations in terms of the mutual economic dependence of industrial countries. In particular the study examines what may be a fundamental constraint on trade protectionism today: the reliance of industrialised countries on external trade relations and especially on markets within the industrial world.

Export Instability and Economic Development When this work was first published in 1966 there was much interest in various types of commodity agreements and compensatory financing as methods of reducing the effects of export fluctuations on the economies of developing countries. The book concluded that short term fluctuations in export earnings though perhaps important for some countries did not appear to be the general problem that had been assumed. If correct it would suggest that any measures should be carefully designed to fit the situations of countries that were affected and be subjected to cost-benefit analysis. This led to many published and unpublished studies on the issues: some supported others contradicted the book’s conclusions. The data available now are vastly greater and probably more accurate than pre-1966. However the work and the issues it raised remain important because most schemes proposed to reduce export instability would be costly and likely to divert resources from uses more obviously aimed at raising economic development in most developing countries.

Export Strategy: Markets and Competition (RLE Marketing) This book offers management students and managers new insights by approaching exporting from the perspective of marketing planning rather than the mechanics of export practice. The author evaluates the widely recommended strategy of key market concentration showing its weaknesses and the flaws in the supporting evidence. The book provides the reader with a framework for making an explicit and informed choice between the real market options faced in practical export situations which takes into account the many company and market factors shaping such strategies. Closely related to market strategy is the competitive base for a company’s exporting particularly in balancing price and non-price forms of competition and this is assessed in the second part of the book.

Exporting Press Freedom International media assistance is a small but important form of international democracy-promotion aid. Media assistance boomed after the 1989 transitions in Central Europe but now flows to virtually all regions of the world. Today the media assistance industry is focused on the problem of sustainability: How are free and independent public affairs media supposed to maintain their editorial mission while facing hostile political systems or the demands of the consumer marketplace? Many media in developing countries have been or are grant-dependent. When grants are exhausted or withdrawn media that were funded to further democratic consolidation typically wither and die. Some become mere grant chasers. Others abandon public service to the demands of market competition or political patronage. As a result governmental and non-governmental grant makers now emphasize the need for sustainability in considering grants in the media sector. Many grant recipients have grown frustrated sometimes bitter and have sought to take a much more active role in the way assistance programs are put together. Just how is sustainability to be achieved while also ensuring a public-service editorial mission? Exporting Press Freedom examines the history and practice of media assistance and argues that the dilemma of media independence and sustainability is best understood as an economic problem rather than one of poor editorial standards or lack of will. It includes profiles of news and public affairs media in developing and democratizing countries and also of two non-governmental organizations that have pioneered the use of low-interest loans in media assistance. These profiles exemplify strategic and entrepreneurial approaches to developing and supporting public service media. Such approaches may be of use not only in the developing world but in the consolidated Western democracies as well where concern has grown about poor journalistic performance and its consequences f Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203792483

Exporting Urban Korea?Reconsidering the Korean Urban Development Experience A detailed examination of the “Korean development model” from its urban dimension evaluating its sociopolitical contexts and implications for international development cooperation. There is an increasing tendency to use the development experience of Asian countries as a reference point for other countries in the Global South. Korea’s condensed urbanization and industrialization accompanied by the expansion of new cities and industrial complexes across the country have become one such model even if the fruits of such development may not have been equitably shared across geographies and generations. The chapters in this book critically reassess the Korean urban development experience from regional policy to new town development demonstrating how these policy experiences were deeply rooted in Korea’s socioeconomic environment and discussing what can be learned from them when applying them in other developmental contexts. This book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in the field of urban studies and developmental studies in general and in Korea’s (urban) development experience in particular.

In doing so the book examines one of the most controversial issues in economic development: the promotion and significance of export-led growth. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367504236

Exposing Federal Sponsorship of Job LossThe Whitehall Plant Closing Campaign and "Runaway Plant" Reform Originally published in 1995 this book explores a number of subjects of significance for labor and economic policy especially the role of U. S. tax policy in the relocation of jobs from the contintental USA to Puerto Rico. The book demonstrates the problems for the USA because of inadequate adjustment policies to protect the interests of communities and workers when plants close and production is relocated. It disproves the myth that markets will take fcare of workers and communities showing that basic economics is concerned with market forces and not with equity environmental and worker protections. The Whitehall plant closing case is documented and the economic and political context analyzed which caused that case to be instructive for broader economic and labor policy purposes. In a new age of American Protectionism this book has enduring relevance. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138322837

Expository Discourse in Children Adolescents and AdultsDevelopment and Disorders School success in the 21st century requires proficiency with expository discourse -- the use and understanding of informative language in spoken and written modalities. This occurs for example when high school students read their textbooks and listen to their teachers' lectures and later are asked to demonstrate their knowledge of this complex topic through oral reports and essay examinations. Although many students are proficient with the expository genre others struggle to meet these expectations. This book is designed to provide information on the use and understanding of expository discourse in school-age children adolescents and young adults. Recently researchers from around the world have been investigating the development of this genre in typical students and in those with language disorders. Although many books have addressed the development of conversational and narrative discourse by comparison books devoted to the topic of expository discourse are sparse. This crossdisciplinary volume fills that gap in the literature and makes a unique contribution to the study of language development and disorders. It will be of interest to a range of professionals including speech-language pathologists teachers linguists and psychologists who are concerned with language development and disorders.

Expressive Genres and Historical ChangeIndonesia Papua New Guinea and Taiwan This collection of essays edited by leading scholars in the field focuses on how expressive genres such as music dance and poetry are of enduring significance to social organization. Research from New Guinea Indonesia and Taiwan is used to assess how historical changes modify these forms of expression to adjust to the social and political needs of the moment. The volume is unique in exploring the significance of expressive genres for the social processes of coping with and adjusting to change either from outside forces or from internal ones. The contributions detail first-hand fieldwork often conducted over a period of many years and with each contributor bringing their experience to bear on both the aesthetic and the analytical aspects of their materials. Comparative in scope the volume covers Austronesian and non-Austronesian speakers in the wider Indo-Pacific region. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367887872

Expressive Morphology in the Languages of South Asia Expressive Morphology in the Languages of South Asia explores the intricacies of the grammars of several of the languages of the South Asian subcontinent. Specifically the contributors to this volume examine grammatical resources for shaping elaborative rhyming and alliterative expressions conveying the emotions states conditions and perceptions of speakers. These forms often referred to expressives remain relatively undocumented until now. It is clear from the evidence on contextualized language use that the grammatically artistic usage of these forms enriches and enlivens both every day and ritualized genres of discourse. The contributors to this volume provide grammatical and sociolinguistic documentation through a typological introduction to the diversity of expressive forms in the languages of South Asia. This book is suitable for students and researchers in South Asian Languages and language families of the following; Dravidian Indo-Aryan Iranian Sino-Tibetan and Austro-Asiatic.

Extended Consciousness and Predictive ProcessingA Third Wave View In this jointly authored book Kirchhoff and Kiverstein defend the controversial thesis that phenomenal consciousness is realised by more than just the brain. They argue that the mechanisms and processes that realise phenomenal consciousness can at times extend across brain body and the social material and cultural world. Kirchhoff and Kiverstein offer a state-of-the-art tour of current arguments for and against extended consciousness. They aim to persuade you that it is possible to develop and defend the thesis of extended consciousness through the increasingly influential predictive processing theory developed in cognitive neuroscience. They show how predictive processing can be given a new reading as part of a third-wave account of the extended mind. The third-wave claims that the boundaries of mind are not fixed and stable but fragile and hard-won and always open to negotiation. It calls into question any separation of the biological from the social and cultural when thinking about the boundaries of the mind. Kirchhoff and Kiverstein show how this account of the mind finds support in predictive processing leading them to a view of phenomenal consciousness as partially realised by patterns of cultural practice.

Extending International Human Rights Protections to Vulnerable Populations This book inductively develops a new typology that identifies and evaluates three principal strategies that have been and are being used to extend international human rights protections to new categories of vulnerable populations. The book explicates the evolution and ongoing utility of the three strategies: categorical enlargement conceptual expansion and group-conscious universal application. The strategies are elucidated by case studies of nine distinct vulnerable populations: national minorities; those oppressed on the basis of caste; people with albinism; cross-cultural migrants; members of the African diaspora; Roma/Gypsies; persons affected by leprosy; older individuals; and lesbian gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. The book concludes by considering the utility of the three strategies for emerging vulnerable populations. It encourages discourse about the protection of vulnerable populations to move beyond a stale fixation on the texts of treaties and towards a more proactive normative framework that prioritizes the lived experiences of human beings. Extending International Human Rights Protections to Vulnerable Populations will be of key interest to students and scholars of international human rights to social justice advocates to human rights practitioners and to those working with oppressed groups human rights law and international relations.

Extending Moore's Law through Advanced Semiconductor Design and Processing Techniques This book provides a methodological understanding of the theoretical and technical limitations to the longevity of Moore’s law. The book presents research on factors that have significant impact on the future of Moore’s law and those factors believed to sustain the trend of the last five decades. Research findings show that boundaries of Moore’s law primarily include physical restrictions of scaling electronic components to levels beyond that of ordinary manufacturing principles and approaching the bounds of physics. The research presented in this book provides essential background and knowledge to grasp the following principles: Traditional and modern photolithography the primary limiting factor of Moore’s law Innovations in semiconductor manufacturing that makes current generation CMOS processing possible Multi-disciplinary technologies that could drive Moore's law forward significantly Design principles for microelectronic circuits and components that take advantage of technology miniaturization The semiconductor industry economic market trends and technical driving factors The complexity and cost associated with technology scaling have compelled researchers in the disciplines of engineering and physics to optimize previous generation nodes to improve system-on-chip performance. This is especially relevant to participate in the increased attractiveness of the Internet of Things (IoT). This book additionally provides scholarly and practical examples of principles in microelectronic circuit design and layout to mitigate technology limits of previous generation nodes. Readers are encouraged to intellectually apply the knowledge derived from this book to further research and innovation in prolonging Moore’s law and associated principles.

Extending Protection to Migrant Populations in EuropeOld and New Minorities This comprehensive and innovative volume focuses on the usefulness and relevance of extending the scope of protections already in place for national minorities ('old minorities') to migrant populations ('new minorities') in Europe. Delving into a highly relevant but under-researched issue the book examines the feasibility of expanding the system of protection for national minorities to migrant groups as well as considering issues of diversity security socio-economic concerns and identity. Taking a multidisciplinary perspective and combining insights from political science law sociology and anthropology it asks the central question of how far the extension of policies and rights currently specific to national minorities is conceptually meaningful and beneficial to the integration of ‘new’ minorities. In doing so it questions the feasibility and appropriateness of extending the scope of the protections already in place for national minorities to other categories of population. This book will be of key interest to scholars students and practitioners of European Union politics migration studies minority studies and more broadly of sociology international law and human rights.

Extending the CurePolicy Responses to the Growing Threat of Antibiotic Resistance Our ability to treat common bacterial infections with antibiotics goes back only 65 years. However the authors of this report make it clear that sustaining a supply of effective and affordable antibiotics cannot be without changes to the incentives facing patients physicians hospitals insurers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. In fact increasing resistance to these drugs is already exacting a terrible price. Every day in the United States approximately 172 men women and children die from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria in hospitals alone. Beyond those deaths antibiotic resistance is costing billions of dollars through prolonged hospital stays and the need for doctors to resort to ever more costly drugs to use as substitute treatments. Extending the Cure presents the problem of antibiotic resistance as a conflict between individual decision makers and their short-term interest and the interest of society as a whole in both present and future: The effort that doctors make to please each patient by prescribing a drug when it might not be properly indicated poor monitoring of discharged patients to ensure that they do not transmit drug-resistant pathogens to other persons excesses in the marketing of new antibiotics and the broad overuse of antibiotics all contribute to the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The book explores a range of policy options that would encourage patients health care providers and managed care organizations to serve as more responsible stewards of existing antibiotics as well as proposals that would give pharmaceutical firms greater incentives to develop new antibiotics and avoid overselling. If the problem continues unaddressed antibiotic resistance has the potential to derail the health care system and return us to a world where people of all ages routinely die from simple infections. As a basis for future research and a spur to a critically important dialogue Extending the Cure is a fundamental first step in addressing this public health crisis. The Extending the Cure project is funded in part by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through its Pioneer Portfolio. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138164383

Extending the Protection of Geographical IndicationsCase Studies of Agricultural Products in Africa The TRIPS Agreement (for trade-related intellectual property rights) provides for the general protection of geographical indications (GIs) of product origin including for example the special protection of wines and spirits and for the creation of a multilateral register for wines. The African Group of countries has been in the forefront of countries agitating in the World Trade Organization TRIPS Council for the extension of this special protection and of the multilateral register to industries which are of interest to developing countries primarily agriculture. The so-called "extension question" is the central feature of the Doha Development Agenda at both the WTO and World Intellectual Property Organization. This book provides some empirical evidence and applied legal and economic reasoning to this debate. It provides both a general review of the key issues and a series of case studies from six Anglophone and four Francophone countries in Africa. These focus on major agricultural commodities such as coffee cotton cocoa and tea as well as more specific and local products such as Argan oil and Oku white honey.

External Energy Security in the European UnionSmall Member States' Perspective This book explores the positions of small EU members in approaching external energy security using Austria the Czech Republic and Slovakia as case studies. It examines when small EU members support and when they oppose further development of cooperation at the European level in external energy security and argues that their preferences depend on their perceived ability to deal with the challenges of their energy policies. It finds that small EU members whose decision-makers believe that their states can successfully deal with these challenges do not support the deepening of European integration in external energy security as this would mean a loss of competences (and vice-versa) concluding that European integration is considered to be a response to perceived vulnerability.This book will be of key interest to scholars students and professionals in EU politics and foreign policy energy policy and security and more broadly to security studies European politics and international relations.

External Fire SpreadBuilding Separation and Boundary Distances While the risk of fire spread between buildings cannot be eliminated completely the aim of calculating building separation distances is to ensure that ignition of a building adjacent to a fire is sufficiently delayed to allow the Fire Service to arrive on site and take preventative action. This new edition of BR 187 in support of national building regulations describes methods for calculating adequate space separation between buildings. Several sections including flame projection from windows have been expanded. Specifically this new edition: · gives more methods of calculation and more illustrative examples· updates the theoretical background including conversions to SI units· presents detailed analysis to the methods so that users can create their own fire engineering software· uses more recent experimental data to ensure the assumptions used in the methods are valid for modern buildings · rigorously defines thermal radiation and associated terminology· includes background to Methods 1 and 2 in Approved Document B. In addition the development of boundary distance requirements in the building regulations since World War II is described due to its relevance to redevelopment of sites containing existing buildings.

Each case study features a presentation and analysis of empirical data in two dimensions: the organisation’s general capabilities to carry out intervention in civil wars and specific to one particular intervention the conflict context in which it happened. This serves two purposes. First to offer insights into the dynamics of each individual case and helping us understand the specific outcome of an intervention effort i.e. why did a mission (partially) succeed or fail. Second it enables us to make real comparisons between the cases and draw policy-relevant conclusions about the conditions under which military civilian and hybrid intervention missions are likely to succeed. This book was originally published as a special issue of Civil Wars. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415711449

External Powers and the Gulf Monarchies The Gulf monarchies have been generally perceived as status quo actors reliant on the USA for their security but in response to regional events particularly the Arab Spring of 2011 they are pursuing more activist foreign policies which has allowed other international powers to play a larger role in regional affairs.This book analyses the changing dynamic in this region with expert contributors providing original empirical case studies that examine the relations between the Gulf monarchies and extra-regional powers including the USA Russia China India Brazil Turkey Japan South Korea France and the United Kingdom. At the theoretical level these case studies explore the extent to which different international relations and international political economy theories explain change in these relationships as the regional political and security environment shifts. Focusing on how and why external powers approach their relationships with the Gulf monarchies contributors ask what motivates external powers to pursue deeper involvement in an unstable region that has seen three major conflicts in the past 40 years.Addressing an under-analysed yet important topic the volume will appeal to scholars in the fields of international relations and international political economy as well as area specialists on the Gulf and those working on the foreign policy issues of the extra-regional powers studied.

Externalism It is commonly held that our thoughts beliefs desires and feelings - the mental phenomena that we instantiate - are constituted by states and processes that occur inside our head. The view known as externalism however denies that mental phenomena are internal in this sense. The mind is not purely in the head. Mental phenomena are hybrid entities that straddle both internal state and processes and things occurring in the outside world. The development of externalist conceptions of the mind is one of the most controversial and arguably one of the most important developments in the philosophy of mind in the second half of the twentieth century. Yet despite its significance most recent work on externalism has been highly technical clouding its basic ideas and principles. Moreover very little work has been done to locate externalism within philosophical developments in both analytic and continental traditions. In this book Mark Rowlands aims to remedy both these problems and present for the reader a clear and accessible introduction to the subject grounded in wider developments in the history of philosophy. Rowlands shows that externalism has significant and respectable historical roots that make it much more important than a specific eruption that occurred in late twentieth-century analytic philosophy.

ExternalizationPhonological Interpretations of Syntactic Objects This book explores theoretical issues of the syntax-phonology interface within the Minimalist Program of linguistic theory and proposes an entirely new approach to prosodic categories. Conceptual as well as empirical questions are addressed concerning how syntactic objects are mapped to the sensorimotor system through the processes of externalization. Elaborating on recent progress in the theories of labelling and workspace-based syntactic derivation this book further develops a null theory of the prosodic domains and recasts these as the domains of interpretation that are reducible to more fundamental concepts of linguistic theory. Phonological phrases are characterized by Minimal Search a third factor principle of efficient computation. Intonational phrases are taken to be reflexes of the termination of syntactic derivation which is formulated in terms of the workspace to which MERGE applies. This book explores the new implications this theory has for the general architecture of grammar as well as for linguistic interfaces. It provides a comprehensive review of the development of theories of the syntax-phonology interface from over the past three decades. The book is well-suited for general linguistic readers as well as phonologists syntacticians and any linguist interested in interface research. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367029326

Externalizing Migration ManagementEurope North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices The extension of border controls beyond a country’s territory to regulate the flows of migrants before they arrive has become a popular and highly controversial policy practice. Today remote control policies are more visible complex and widespread than ever before raising various ethical political and legal issues for the governments promoting them. The book examines the externalization of migration control from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective focusing on ‘remote control’ initiatives in Europe and North America with contributions from the fields of politics sociology law geography anthropology and history. This book uses empirically rich analyses and compelling theoretical insights to trace the evolution of ‘remote control’ initiatives and assesses their impact and policy implications. It also explores competing theoretical models that might explain their emergence and diffusion. Individual chapters tackle some of the most puzzling questions underlying remote control policies such as the reasons why governments adopt these policies and what might be their impact on migrants and other actors involved.

Extimate TechnologySelf-Formation in a Technological World This book investigates how we should form ourselves in a world saturated with technologies that are profoundly intruding in the very fabric of our selfhood.　 New and emerging technologies such as smart technological environments imaging technologies and smart drugs are increasingly shaping who and what we are and influencing who we ought to be. How should we adequately understand evaluate and appreciate this development? Tackling this question requires going beyond the persistent and stubborn inside-outside dualism and recognizing that what we consider our "inside" self is to a great extent shaped by our "outside" world. Inspired by various philosophers – especially Nietzsche Peirce and Lacan –this book shows how the values goals and ideals that humans encounter in their environments not only shape their identities but also enable them to critically relate to their present state. The author argues against understanding technological self-formation in terms of making ourselves better stronger and smarter. Rather we should conceive it in terms of technological sublimation which redefines the very notion of human enhancement. In this respect the author introduces an alternative more suitable theory namely Technological Sublimation Theory (TST). Extimate Technology will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of technology philosophy of the self phenomenology pragmatism and history of philosophy.

Extinction or Survival?The Remarkable Story of the Tigua an Urban American Urban Tribe How could an urban American Indian tribe having survived relentless earlier governmental attempts to declare its culture extinct be once again on the verge of extinction? The Tigua of Ysleta del Sur Pueblo dwell in the outskirts of El Paso Texas where the infamous Jack Abramoff was in the news for helping to close their highly successful casino. This casino had created jobs and funded health care for the tribe and now the Tigua are once more taking action to preserve their economy membership and culture. This highly publicised casino story is set against the remarkably rich history of the Tigua including earlier attempts by national and state governments to steal the tribe's land and destroy its legal status. Anthropologist S. K. Adam explores how questions of identity can be linked to cultural survival: Had the Tigua somehow survived 300 years of persecution and urban encroachment or as alleged by the government were they really just Mexicanised Indians acting fraudulently? Adam examines how terms such as indigeneity identity authenticity culture change and perseverance are understood and defined by the US government. He analyses how issues of power law discourse genocide and self-determination affect the relationship between the United States and its indigenous populations past and present.

Extracellular Vesicles in Health and Disease Interest in the role of extracellular vesicles (microvesicles and exosomes) is expanding rapidly. It is now apparent that far from being merely cellular debris these vesicles play a key role in cell-to-cell communication and signaling. Moreover they are significantly elevated in a number of diseases. This raises the question of their direct role in pathogenesis as well as their possible use as biomarkers. This book stems from the first international meeting on "Microvesicles and Nanovesicles in Health and Disease" held at Magdalen College Oxford in 2010. The purpose of the meeting was to bring together for the first time a range of experts from around the world to discuss the latest advances in this field. Key to the study of these vesicles is the availability of methodologies for their measurement in biological fluids. A major section of the meeting focused on a range of exciting new technologies which have been developed for this purpose. The presentations at this meeting form the basis of this book which will appeal to basic scientists clinicians and those developing technology for the measurement of extracellular vesicles.

Extracting Accountability from Non-State Actors in International LawAssessing the Scope for Direct Regulation The human rights of communities in many resource-rich weak governance States are adversely affected not only by the acts of States and their agents but also by powerful non-State actors. Contemporary phenomena such as globalisation privatisation and the proliferation of internal armed conflict have all contributed to the increasing public influence of these entities and the correlative decline in State power. This book responds to the persistent challenges stemming from non-State actors linked to extractive industries. In light of the intersecting roles of multinational enterprises and non-State armed groups in this context these actors are adopted as the primary analytical vehicles. The operations of these entities highlight the practical flaws of existing accountability regimes and permit an exploration of the theoretical challenges that preclude their direct legal regulation at the international level. Drawing insights from discursive democracy compliance theories and the Pure Theory of Law the book establishes a conceptual foundation for the creation of binding international obligations addressing non-State actors. Responding to the recent calls for a binding business and human rights treaty at the UN Human Rights Council and the growing influence of armed non-State actors the book makes a timely contribution to debates surrounding the direction of future developments in the field of international human rights law.

Extractive Economies and Conflicts in the Global SouthMulti-Regional Perspectives on Rentier Politics The majority of developing countries in the Global South are evidently rich in natural resources but paradoxically blighted by excruciating poverty and conflicts. This paradox of deprivation and war in the midst of plenteous resources has been the subject of great debate in international political economy in contemporary history. This book contributes to the debate by examining the underlying structures actors and contexts of rentier politics and how they often produce and aggravate conflicts in the various extractive economies and regions of the Global South. The book critically explores the theories of rentier economies and natural resource conflicts as well as the practical ramifications of rentier politics in the Global South with all their resonance for political economy and security in the Global North.

Extractive Industries and Changing State Dynamics in AfricaBeyond the Resource Curse This book uses extractive industry projects in Africa to explore how political authority and the nation-state are reconfigured at the intersection of national political contestations and global transnational capital. Instead of focusing on technological zones and the new social assemblages at the actual sites of construction or mineral extraction the authors use extractive industry projects as a topical lens to investigate contemporary processes of state-making at the state–corporation nexus. Throughout the book the authors seek to understand how public political actors and private actors of liberal capitalism negotiate and redefine notions and practices of sovereignty by setting legal regulatory and fiscal standards. Rather than looking at resource governance from a normative perspective the authors look at how these negotiations are shaped by and reshape the self-conception of various national and transnational actors and how these jointly redefine the role of the state in managing these processes for the ‘greater good’. Extractive Industries and Changing State Dynamics in Africa will be useful for researchers upper-level students and policy-makers who are interested in new articulations of state-making and politics in Africa.

Extractive RelationsCountervailing Power and the Global Mining Industry Extractive Relations explores the nature of industrial power and its role in shaping what we understand to be the global mining sector. The authors examine issues at the forefront of contemporary debates: corporate obligations in safeguarding the rights of people displaced by mining the recognition of community rights and interests in supporting or opposing mining developments the handling of non-judicial grievances and workability of corporate remedy systems and the logic of community relations departments in navigating these issues inside and outside of the typical modern mining establishment. The authors develop a unique theoretical approach that highlights the different types and uses of power in these settings. This perspective is supported by the authors' own sustained engagement with the mining sector over many years drawing on cases from over twenty countries. The analysis of these issues from both 'inside' and 'outside' the sector is a key point of differentiation. For readers seeking to understand how mining companies interpret and interact with the communities and interests around their operations this book provides invaluable insight and analysis.

Extractive Reserves in Brazilian AmazoniaLocal Resource Management and the Global Political Economy This title was first published in 2003: Despite their growing political significance the linkages between local resource management and the global political economy are often poorly understood. This book addresses these linkages in a grounded analysis of extractive reserves: areas in Brazil set aside for local populations who depend on natural resources for their livelihood. Extractive reserves are the result of the struggle of the rubber tappers for control over their natural resources and worldwide concern with the conservation of the Amazon Rainforest. The author examines their significance for Brazil as a pioneering legislative and policy initiative to combine conservation with productive use of natural resources to recognize common property rights to natural resources and to support traditional populations’ modes of production. Extractive Reserves in Brazilian Amazonia examines the formation and institutional sustainability of the reserves and in so doing provides a valuable insight into the relationship between local institutions and the wider socio-political and economic context with regard to forest management.

Extra-Dependent TeamsRealising the Power of Similarity Inter-Dependent Teams: people working together to achieve a common goal. Extra-Dependent Teams: people learning together to develop a common practice. Extra-Dependent Teams: Realising the Power of Similarity reframes the conventional mental model of teams into two complementary mental models of Extra-Dependent and Inter-Dependent Teams. Both types of team operate inside organisations today but convention doesn’t realise their difference. Extra-Dependent Teams are present in organisations because of their similarity – they do similar work in similar ways but don’t actually work together. People who lead them often feel like they are herding cats. Convention cites them as dysfunctional. But cats don’t herd. They are independent whilst all being the same. Realising this difference provides new ways of understanding and addressing the problems that convention can’t overcome. The reader will be introduced to the distinctness of Extra-Dependent Teams their dynamics how they perform how they develop and how to lead them. Inspired by research on communities of practice and social identity the book delivers an original and pragmatic approach to teams being packed with examples case studies practical guidance and words of warning for managers and others about how to transform their Extra-Dependent Teams from peripheral problems into engines of innovation and growth.

Extraordinary Sportswomen As in many other fields in sports too women were latecomers and considered as the ‘other sex’ – at least until the twenty-first century. When sport developed in its modern forms towards the second half of the nineteenth century women were (and to a certain degree still are) considered too weak to participate in strenuous physical activities and were thus excluded from various sports competitions and events. Although they gradually gained access to all sports competitive sport was – and is still today – one of the few areas in modern societies with strict gender segregation: in most sports men do not compete against women and playing sport is always ‘doing gender’. Yet in many epochs and in many regions of the world there were female ‘rebels’ who did not comply with the ideals norms and rules that contributed to women’s marginalization. Who were these women what were their aims and motivations which strategies did they apply and how did they fight and win their battles against the gender order of their time? The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367516970

Extrasensory Perception If extrasensory perception is a common human ability why can't we all score high on ESP tests? This book answers the question by describing psychological determinants of success and failure in extrasensory perception. Some of the most signifi cant points raised in the editor's enlightening introduction are developed in greater detail in the nine essays that follow all of them important statements giving a clear picture of research into ESP and the debate that surrounds it. Each essay is followed by a comment relating the essay to the field as a whole.In essays on the debate about ESP an attack (by C. E. M. Hansel) is followed by a rebuttal (by J. B. Rhine and J. G. Pratt) offering the reader insight into the peculiar tension surrounding the ESP controversy. The book also includes a balanced overview of problems in the field by J. C. Crumbaugh and six other essays on the psychological factors that influence research on ESP. Controversy over ESP is of special interest also because the questions critics raise relate closely to problems within psychology itself. In addition the essays reflect a quality common to much research: the excitement of uncovering results that advance our knowledge.This book is intended for supplementary course use. Because of the fundamental problems it addresses it also offers richly rewarding reading for all teaching and practicing psychologists as well as for the interested generalist. A substantial number of research reports are cited throughout so that any reader seeking further information will find the cited references invaluable.

Extraterritoriality and International BriberyA Collective Action Perspective The book presents a collective action perspective to explain how extraterritoriality functions and assess when and to what extent extraterritoriality is effective. A collective action perspective provides a new account of foreign anti-bribery laws and their extraterritorial enforcement that draws on theories discussed in the field of economic governance. Within this framework the book offers an intensive analysis of US foreign anti-bribery law such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) international law as it emanates from the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and comparative insights into UK law and German law. To test the theory in practice the book provides a unique data set of more than 40 foreign anti-bribery enforcement actions conducted by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other examples from comparative jurisdictions. Extraterritoriality and International Bribery is ideal reading for academics and students with an interest in global governance economic crime criminology and law and economics as well as practitioners concerned with foreign anti-bribery enforcement including compliance officers lawyers investigating and prosecuting authorities and business leaders. The book also discusses governance alternatives existing outside international anti-bribery law and offers policy and legal reforms proposals. The book suggests a decentralized enforcement model with the delegation of some enforcement tasks to an external body as the most appropriate governance alternative.

Extremal OptimizationFundamentals Algorithms and Applications Extremal Optimization: Fundamentals Algorithms and Applications introduces state-of-the-art extremal optimization (EO) and modified EO (MEO) solutions from fundamentals methodologies and algorithms to applications based on numerous classic publications and the authors’ recent original research results. It promotes the movement of EO from academic study to practical applications. The book covers four aspects beginning with a general review of real-world optimization problems and popular solutions with a focus on computational complexity such as "NP-hard" and the "phase transitions" occurring on the search landscape.Next it introduces computational extremal dynamics and its applications in EO from principles mechanisms and algorithms to the experiments on some benchmark problems such as TSP spin glass Max-SAT (maximum satisfiability) and graph partition. It then presents studies on the fundamental features of search dynamics and mechanisms in EO with a focus on self-organized optimization evolutionary probability distribution and structure features (e.g. backbones) which are based on the authors’ recent research results. Finally it discusses applications of EO and MEO in multiobjective optimization systems modeling intelligent control and production scheduling.The authors present the advanced features of EO in solving NP-hard problems through problem formulation algorithms and simulation studies on popular benchmarks and industrial applications. They also focus on the development of MEO and its applications. This book can be used as a reference for graduate students research developers and practical engineers who work on developing optimization solutions for those complex systems with hardness that cannot be solved with mathematical optimization or other computational intelligence such as evolutionary computations.

Extreme Landscapes of LeisureNot a Hap-Hazardous Sport In recent years there has been an increased engagement throughout the social sciences with the study of extreme places and practices. Dangerous games and adventure tours have shifted from being marginal exotic or mad to being more than merely acceptable. They are now exemplary mainstream even: there are a variety of new types increasing numbers of people are doing them and they are being appropriated and have infiltrated more and more contexts. This book argues that hazardous sports and adventure tourism have become rather paradoxical. As a set of activities where players and holidaymakers are closer to death or danger than they would otherwise be they are the complete opposite of normal games or vacations. Adventure sports and tours reverse the general definition of a holiday as being an escape from the seriousness of everyday life as in most cases they are innately serious requiring as they do 'life or death' decision-making. Beginning with the rise in colonial explorations and moving on to consider the Dangerous Sports Club of Oxford this book examines the increasing phenomena of adventure sports such as bungy jumping cliff jumping or 'tomb-stoning' surfing and parkour within a framework of positive risk. It explores how certain assumptions about knowledge agency the body and nature are beginning to coalesce around newly developing spheres of social relations. Additionally extreme games have become activities that are germane to the dawning of green social thought and so the book also addresses issues that deal with the intimate connections that exist between pleasure and the moral responsibility towards the environment.

Extreme Right Parties in Scandinavia This book provides an up-to-date account of extreme right parties in Denmark Norway and Sweden. It seeks to explain why these parties have grown in support and in Denmark and Norway reached positions of direct political influence. Following an analytical framework in which explanatory factors on the demand- as well as supply-sides are identified the book investigates a wide range of possible such factors. The account covers economic conditions immigration and political trust as well as the extent of the fascist and Nazi legacy in Scandinavia. Each of the three countries is then subject to an in-depth study. The origins historical development ideology organisation and leadership of the relevant extreme right parties in each country are analysed thoroughly. The analysis draws on party documents and publications such as party manifestos as well as media sources biographies and academic literature. The main argument of the book is that internal supply-side factors that is factors within the parties themselves are indispensable in order to understand variations in the success of extreme right parties. External conditions are not unimportant but account for very little if the parties do not provide a political package that can tap the potential demand.

Extreme StatesThe Evolution of American Transgressive Fiction 1960-2000 Transgressive fiction explores the crossing of boundaries. Because of its extreme content and style it is often considered controversial. However transgressive fiction is not just shocking or disruptive. It is a continuation of an American tradition of creating culture through the crossing of moral geographical and social boundaries. Extreme States traces the evolution of American transgressive fiction from the 1960s to 2000 exploring how transgressive fiction reflects exaggerates and critically interrogates how central American ideologies are perpetually (re)constructed in its extra-textual context.

Extreme Value Methods with Applications to Finance Extreme value theory (EVT) deals with extreme (rare) events which are sometimes reported as outliers. Certain textbooks encourage readers to remove outliers—in other words to correct reality if it does not fit the model. Recognizing that any model is only an approximation of reality statisticians are eager to extract information about unknown distribution making as few assumptions as possible. Extreme Value Methods with Applications to Finance concentrates on modern topics in EVT such as processes of exceedances compound Poisson approximation Poisson cluster approximation and nonparametric estimation methods. These topics have not been fully focused on in other books on extremes. In addition the book covers: Extremes in samples of random size Methods of estimating extreme quantiles and tail probabilities Self-normalized sums of random variables Measures of market risk Along with examples from finance and insurance to illustrate the methods Extreme Value Methods with Applications to Finance includes over 200 exercises making it useful as a reference book self-study tool or comprehensive course text.

Extreme Weather and Global Media In the two decades bracketing the turn of the millennium large-scale weather disasters have been inevitably constructed as media events. As such they challenge the meaning of concepts such as identity and citizenship for both locally affected populations and widespread spectator communities. This timely collection pinpoints the features of an often overlooked yet rapidly expanding category of global media and analyzes both its forms and functions. Specifically contributors argue that the intense promotion and consumption of 'extreme weather' events takes up the slack for the public conversations society is not having about the environment and the feeling of powerlessness that accompanies the realization that anthropogenic climate change has now reached a point of no return. Incorporating a range of case studies of extreme weather mediation in India the UK Germany Sweden the US and Japan and exploring recent and ongoing disasters such as Superstorm Sandy the Fukushima nuclear crisis flooding in Germany and heat waves in the UK Extreme Weather and Global Media generates valuable inquiry into the representational and social characteristics of the new culture of extreme weather.

Extremism Free Speech and Counter-Terrorism Law and Policy This edited collection addresses a number of free speech vs security concerns that are engaged by counter-terrorism law and policy makers across a number of liberal democracies and explores the delicate balance between free speech and the censoring of views that promote hatred or clash with fundamental democratic values. It does this by looking at the perspectives and level of disagreement between those who consider today’s counter-terrorism and extremism strategies to be a soft and liberal approach and those who believe these strategies disproportionately impact freedom of expression and association and non-violent political dissent. The contributors include academics practicing lawyers and think-tank analysts who examine whether universities and schools incubators of violent radicalism and debate  and whether the views of ‘extremist’ speakers and hate preachers need to be censored. Outside the UK critical discussion of the regulation of counter-terrorism extremism and free speech in other liberal democracies is also offered. This book will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners with interests in extremism terrorism civil rights and freedom of speech. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367670955

Extremist Propaganda in Social MediaA Threat to Homeland Security Extremist Propaganda in Social Media: A Threat to Homeland Security presents both an analysis of the impact of propaganda in social media and the rise of extremism in mass society from technological and social perspectives. The book identifies the current phenomenon what shall be dubbed for purposes of this book "Blisstopian Societies"—characterized in the abiding "ignorance is bliss" principle—whereby a population is complacent and has unquestioning acceptance of a social doctrine without challenge and introspection. In these subcultures the malleable population self-select social media content "news " and propaganda delivery mechanisms. By doing so they expose themselves only to content that motivates reinforces and contributes to their isolation alienation and self-regulation of the social groups and individuals. In doing this objective news is dismissed fake—or news otherwise intended to misinform—reinforces their stereotyped beliefs about society and the world around them. This phenomenon is unfortunately not "fake news " but a real threat to which counterterror intelligence Homeland Security law enforcement the military and global organizations must be hyper-vigilant of now and into the foreseeable future. Chapters cite numerous examples from the 2016 political election the Russia investigation into the Trump Campaign ISIS domestic US terrorists among many other examples of extremist and radicalizing rhetoric.　 The book illustrates throughout that this contrived and manufactured bliss has fueled the rise and perpetuation of hate crimes radicalism and violence in such groups as ISIS Boko Haram Neo-Nazis white separatists and white supremacists in the United States—in addition to perpetuating ethnic cleansing actions around the world. This dynamic has led to increased political polarization in the United States and abroad while furthering an unwillingness and inability to both compromise or see others’ perspectives—further fomenting insular populations increasing willing to harm others and do violence.　 Extremist Propaganda in Social Media relates current Blisstopian practices to real-world hate speech and violence connecting how such information is consumed by groups and translated into violent action. The book is an invaluable resources for those professionals that require an awareness of social media radicalization including: social media strategists law enforcement Homeland Security professionals military planners and operatives—anyone tasked with countering combat such violent factions and fringes in conflict situations.

Eye Guidance in Natural ScenesA Special Issue of Visual Cognition Successfully completing many forms of behaviour requires that humans look in the right place at the right time: This has generated a large volume of research aimed at understanding how the eyes are guided. This special issue demonstrates that the decision about where to look involves a large number of factors from low- to high-level constraints. New models of eye guidance are presented and these offer converging approaches to understanding how we inspect complex scenes. Importantly this special issue brings together evidence from a range of settings - from static scene viewing to real world environments - in order to fully assess our current understanding of eye guidance in natural scenes.

Eye hEar The Visual in Music 'Eye hEar The Visual in Music' employs the concept of the visual in proximate relation to music producing a tension: 'is it not the case that there is a gulf between painting and music between the visible and the audible? One is full of colour and light yet silent; one is invisible and marvellously noisy.' Such a belief this book argues betrays an ideological constraint on music desiccating it to sound and art to vision. The starting point of this study is more hybrid (and hydrating): that music is never employed without numerous and complex intersections with the visual. By involving the concept of synaesthesia the book evokes music’s multi-sensory nature stops it from sounding alone and offers music as a subject for art historians. Music bleeds into art and visuality in its graphic depiction in notation in the theatre of performance its sights and sites. This book looks at music in its absolute guise as a model for art; at notation and the conductor as the silent visual fulcra around which music circulates; at the music and image of Erik Satie; at the concert hall as white cube; at the symphonic film '2001: A Space Odyssey'; and at the liminality of John Cage and Andy Warhol.

Eye Movements and Psychological Processes In the 10 years prior to publication the quantity of research on eye movements as they pertain to psychological processes had been increasing at a rapid rate. Originally published in 1976 the editors’ purpose was to bring together investigators representing different theoretical positions and methodological approaches to present their recent findings to debate the theoretical points of view and to identify and discuss the major research problems on eye movements at the time. An attempt was made to invite participants ranging all the way from promising graduate students through the established authorities in the field. The result was an intensive three-day session with meetings from early morning until late into the evening with much opportunity for formal and informal group discussion. The edited papers and transcripts of the discussions are the contents of this book. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138218338

Eye Movements and the Higher Psychological Functions Originally published in 1978 this volume reflects the proceedings of a conference held in February 1977 in California and is a natural successor to the earlier volume Eye Movements and Psychological Processes (Monty & Senders 1976). The second conference was aimed at providing a greater opportunity for discussing the "higher mental processes" touched on in the first volume. Part 1 is devoted to an intensive review of the underlying processes and psychological functions of eye movements. It includes discussions of the relationships of cortical and subcortical visual areas to eye movements and visual processing associated with them; information about the position of the eye in the head and the perception of visual space; saccades and visual functioning; and masking. In further parts it goes on to look at: methodology and models; cognitive processes; reading processes; looking at static and dynamic display; and finally chapters on problems and applications.

Eye MovementsCognition and Visual Perception Originally published in 1981 this volume represents the edited proceedings of the third symposium on eye movements and behaviour sponsored by the US Army Human Engineering Laboratory. The conference titled "The Last Whole Earth Eye Movement Conference" was held in Florida in February 1980. As the conference approached seizure of the American hostages by the Iranian militants the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the uncertain economic outlook around the world made it appear as though the title was a self-fulfilling prophecy. But the meeting proved highly successful and people throughout the world seemed to be adapting to the stresses of international tension making the possibility of subsequent meetings more likely. The present volume is intended to serve as a complementary text to the earlier texts Eye Movements and Psychological Processes (Monty & Senders 1976) and Eye Movements and the Higher Psychological Functions (Senders Fisher & Monty 1978) rather than a revision and update of them.

Eyes EverywhereThe Global Growth of Camera Surveillance In many countries camera surveillance has become commonplace and ordinary citizens and consumers are increasingly aware that they are under surveillance in everyday life. Camera surveillance is typically perceived as the archetype of contemporary surveillance technologies and processes. While there is sometimes fierce debate about their introduction many others take the cameras for granted or even applaud their deployment. Yet what the presence of surveillance cameras actually achieves is still very much in question. International evidence shows that they have very little effect in deterring crime and in 'making people feel safer’ but they do serve to place certain groups under greater official scrutiny and to extend the reach of today’s ‘surveillance society’. Eyes Everywhere provides the first international perspective on the development of camera surveillance. It scrutinizes the quiet but massive expansion of camera surveillance around the world in recent years focusing especially on Canada the UK and the USA but also including less-debated but important contexts such as Brazil China Japan Mexico South Africa and Turkey. Containing both broad overviews and illuminating case-studies including cameras in taxi-cabs and at mega-events such as the Olympics the book offers a valuable oversight on the status of camera surveillance in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The book will be fascinating reading for students and scholars of camera surveillance as well as policy makers and practitioners from the police chambers of commerce private security firms and privacy- and data-protection agencies.

Eyewitness MemoryTheoretical and Applied Perspectives The organization of the first Society for Applied Research in Memory and Cognition (SARMAC) conference centered around two specifically identifiable research topics -- autobiographical memory and eyewitness memory. These two areas -- long-time staples on the menu of investigators of memory in more natural settings -- differ on a variety of dimensions perhaps most notably on their specific goals for scientific inquiry and application. For many questions about memory and cognition that are of interest to scientific psychology there have been historical as well as rather arbitrary reasons for their assignment to the autobiographical or eyewitness memory fields. Perhaps as a result of differing historical orientations the first volume's seven autobiographical memory chapters focus upon the qualities or types of recall from research participants whereas the seven chapters in the eyewitness memory volume generally focus upon the quantity (a concern for completeness) and accuracy of recall. This interest in the ultimate end-product and its application within the legal process in general encourages eyewitness memory investigators to modify their testing procedures continually in an attempt to gain even more information from participants about an event. Indeed several of the eyewitness memory chapters reflect such attempts. Beyond the specific contributions of each chapter to the literature on autobiographical and eyewitness memory the editors hope that the reader will come away with some general observations: * the autobiographical and eyewitness memory fields are thriving; * these two fields are likely to remain center stage in the further investigation of memory in natural contexts; * although the autobiographical and eyewitness memory chapters have been segregated in these two volumes the separation is often more arbitrary than real and connections between the two areas abound; * the two research traditions are entirely mindful of fundamental laboratory methods research and theory -- sometimes drawing their research inspirations from that quarter; and * the two fields -- though driven largely by everyday memory concerns -- can contribute to a more basic understanding of memory at both an empirical and a theoretical level.

Ezra Pound and 20th-Century Theories of LanguageFaith with the Word Ezra Pound is one of the most significant poets of the twentieth century a writer whose poetry is particularly notable for the intensity of its linguistic qualities. Indeed from the principles of Imagism to the polyphony of his Cantos Pound is central to our conception of modernism’s relationship with language. This volume explores the development of Pound’s understanding of language in the context of twentieth-century linguistics and the philosophy of language. It draws on largely unpublished archival material in order to provide a broadly chronological account of the development of Pound’s views and their relation to both his own poetry and to modernist writing as a whole. Beginning with Pound’s contentious relationship with philology and his antagonism towards academia the book traces continuities and shifts across Pound’s career culminating in a discussion of the centrality of language to the conception of his　Cantos. While it contains discussions around significant figures in twentieth-century linguistic thought such as 　Ferdinand de Saussure and Ludwig Wittgenstein the book attempts to recover the work of theorists such as Leonard Bloomfield Lucien Lévy-Bruhl and C.K. Ogden figures who were once central to modernism but who have largely been pushed to the periphery of modernist studies. The picture of Pound that emerges is a figure whose understanding of language is not only bound up with modernist approaches to anthropology politics and philosophy but which calls for a new understanding of modernism’s relationship to each.

F. A. Hayek and the Epistemology of PoliticsThe Curious Task of Economics F. A. Hayek and the Epistemology of Politics is an exploration of an important problem that has largely been ignored heretofore: the problem of policymaker ignorance and the consequences of limited political knowledge. Scott Scheall explores the significance of the fact that the possibilities for effective political action are constrained by policymakers’ epistemic limitations. The book offers an explanation for why policymaking often fails and why constituents whatever their political affiliations are so often disappointed with political leaders. In this philosophical examination of his work Hayek’s ideas are not merely discussed analyzed and contextualized but extended; the book both draws and defends previously unrecognized implications from the Hayekian canon. The book will be of interest to scholars of the works of F. A. Hayek and his intellectual adversaries to policymakers and to those of all political philosophical and social-scientific persuasions.

F.D. Ascoli: A Revenue History of the SundarbansFrom 1870 to 1920 Frank David Ascoli’s Revenue History of Sundarbans during the Period 1870- 1920 looks at the area bounded on the north by the limits of Permanent Settlement in 24-Parganas Khulna and Bakarganj districts and on the south by the sea face stretching from the Hughli estuary to the mouth of the Meghna River. A quarter of this large area consisted of water out of 19 501 sq. km. For administrative purposes the Division was grouped in three circles known as the Bagerhat Khulna and Satkhira. Revenue stations were established at all the principal points of egress from the Sundarbans and purchasers proceed to the forests and take their requirements from any locality they choose. The process of land formation appears to have been followed by the growth of different vegetation and plants which turned into forest it left uncleared. The entire Sundarban tract is managed by the Forest Department which has operated a yearly auction for cutting rights for many decades. In this way the Sundarbans emerged between the Bay of Bengal and the fringes of the Bengal delta. The revenue history of the Sundarbans is distinct from that of the rest of the district that presents several peculiar features so that a separate account of it is necessary. It is apparent that some of the most forbidding remnants of Sundarbans jungle were transformed into fertile rice fields schools dispensaries post offices markets and cooperative societies.

F.D. AscoliEarly Revenue History of Bengal and The Fifth Report 1812 Early Revenue History of Bengal and the Fifth Report 1812 was the outcome of a series of four lectures delivered at the Dacca College by the distinguished Bengali civil servant F.D. Ascoli. It embodies the text of the Fifth Report on the affairs of the East India Company by the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed with a view to form the charter of 1813 and also careful and detailed summary of the discussions that led up to Lord Cornwallis's Permanent Revenue Settlement of Bengal (including Behar). The condensed arguments of Mr. James Grant Sir John Shore and Lord Cornwallis on the subject of the Permanent Settlement enable us to see the objectives desired for in the Permanent Revenue Settlement. The book also affords valuable glimpses on the methods adopted for carrying out the settlement and working it successfully in the early days when the zamindars themselves did not look upon it as a boon and the sale of estates for arrears were frequent. Ascoli's excellent and dispassionate account of the Company’s difficulties and the unsuccessful remedies that were from time to time applied to meet them disposes of pet theories that are sometimes advanced with regard to the Permanent Settlement. Mr. Ascoli's masterly analysis and partial text of the Fifth Report from the Select Committee 1812 will be of material assistance to students of revenue history in Bengal and of Colonial India generally.

Fabian Couples Feminist Issues In the three decades before the First World War the relationship between socialism and feminism was both curious and convoluted. Despite strong theoretical links between these ideologies class and sex seem to have inspired conflicting loyalties and opposing demands. In Britain the uniquely middle-class reform-minded Fabian Society might have been expected to bridge the gap between these movements. Yet between 1884 and 1914 the Fabian Society’s record on the "woman question" was highly inconsistent and at times overtly regressive. Originally published in 1987 this title looks at three of the most influential members Sidney Webb George Bernard Shaw and Hubert Bland and the women they were married to who were also active in the Society.

Fabricating Quality in EducationData and Governance in Europe How is European Education Governed? Data is now the lifeblood of education governance. At the international level organisations like the OECD steer education systems through their programmes of assessment and the European Commission’s project of creating the most successful knowledge economy in the world is driven by data collection analysis and comparison. At the national level policy-makers increasingly depend on data to show them where they are positioned in relation to their competitors and draw on data to justify policy directions. Within systems schools and teachers have become proficient in data use and interpret their priorities with reference to data. This book draws on a three-year comparative study of the influence of data on education systems in Europe looking at the contrasting policy contexts of Denmark England Finland Scotland and Sweden and examining the use of data in these systems in relation to steering by Europe as well as policy mediation and ‘translation’ of data within systems. The authors draw on interviews with key policy actors in the European Commission and with national policy makers in all five systems as well as on local case studies and a major comparative survey of the effects of data production and use on the work of teachers and headteachers. The research brought together international researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds including educationalists political scientists and specialists in research and evaluation. The book offers new arguments relating to the use of Quality Assurance and Evaluation as a means of standardising and harmonising education policy and practice while also drawing attention to significant variation in policy and practice across these systems. It should be of interest to researchers post-graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in policy studies in education and more generally. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203830741

Face of Imperialism The relationship between US economic and military power is not often considered within mainstream commentary. Similarly the connection between US military interventions overseas and US domestic problems is rarely considered in any detail. In this brilliant new book Michael Parenti reveals the true face of US imperialism. He documents how it promotes unjust policies across the globe including expropriation of natural resources privatisation debt burdens and suppression of democratic movements. He then demonstrates how this feeds into deteriorating living standards in the US itself leading to increased poverty decaying infrastructure and impending ecological disaster. The Face of Imperialism redefines empire and imperialism and connects the crisis in the US with its military escapades across the world. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781594519185

Face Perception Human faces are unique biological structures that convey a complex variety of important social messages. Even strangers can tell things from our faces – our feelings our locus of attention something of what we are saying our age sex and ethnic group whether they find us attractive. In recent years there has been genuine progress in understanding how our brains derive all these different messages from faces and what can happen when one or other of the structures involved is damaged. Face Perception provides an up-to-date integrative summary by two authors who have helped develop and shape the field over the past 30 years. It encompasses topics as diverse as the visual information our brains can exploit when we look at faces whether prejudicial attitudes can affect how we see faces and how people with neurodevelopmental disorders see faces. The material is digested and summarised in a way that is accessible to students within a structure that focuses on the different things we can do with faces. It offers a compelling synthesis of behavioural neuropsychological and cognitive neuroscience approaches to develop a distinctive point of view of the area. The book concludes by reviewing what is known about the development of face processing and re-examines the question of what makes faces ‘special’. Written in a clear and accessible style this is invaluable reading for all students and researchers interested in studying face perception and social cognition.

Face Politics The face is central to contemporary politics. In Deleuze and Guattari’s work on faciality we find an assertion that the face is a particular politics and dismantling the face is also a politics. This book explores the politics of such diverse issues as images and faces in photographs and portraits; expressive faces; psychology and neuroscience; face recognition; face blindness; facial injury disfigurement and face transplants through questions such as: What it might mean to dismantle the face and what politics this might entail in practical terms? What sort of a politics is it? Is it already taking place? Is it a politics that is to be desired a better politics a progressive politics? The book opens up a vast field of further research that needs to be taken forward to begin to address the politics of the face more fully and to elaborate the alternative forms of personhood and politics that dismantling the face opens to view. The book will be agenda-setting for scholars located in the field of international politics in particular but cognate areas as well who want to pursue the implications of face politics for the crucial questions of subjectivity sovereignty and personhood.

Face RecognitionThe Effects of Race Gender Age and Species Although most people are good at face recognition we are particularly good at recognizing the faces of individuals who share our race gender age and species. What factors might account for this type of bias in face recognition? This collection considers the issue of how our identity influences the type of perceptual experience that we have to faces which in turn influences the processes of face recognition. Leading experts from cognitive psychology neuroscience and computer science address a wide range of topics related to the neural and computational basis of the "own versus other" effect in face recognition the impact of early experience in infant face recognition the effect of laboratory training to reverse the other-race effect cultural differences in expression recognition and the forensic and social consequences of "own versus other" face recognition. The combined work gives the reader a comprehensive overview of the field and an insider’s perspective on the role that identity and experience play in the everyday process of face recognition.

Face to Face with PracticeExistential Forms of Research for Management Inquiry Coming Face to Face with your own practice is an emerging approach to management and professional research that has a significant impact on management practice. It closes the gap between theory and practice. An existential form of research means that the researcher carefully attends to their experience of researching and managing. This book demonstrates that by bringing an existential sensibility to research unexpected possibilities for research and for professionality are revealed. Each chapter shows authors grappling with the constraints of a system navigating issues of humanness questioning themselves unfolding their understanding of appropriate ethics and finally elucidating a depth of response that in itself reveals a way forward. In Face to Face with Practice authors demonstrate how they drew on moments of estrangement from their practices. They found that when such moments are respected and carefully examined a kind of clarification and at the same time often deep disillusionment with the taken-for-granted conventions of their practice emerge. Through exploring these conventional ways of operating authors develop new and original accounts of what it means to manage better in their particular field of practice. Such an approach is called hermeneutic existential phenomenology affectionately known as HEP. Face to Face is about making a difference: a difference to the ways that management is practiced; a difference to the experience of the manager; and actually a difference towards a more humane and thoughtful approach to managing our society today.

Facebook the Media and Democracy examines Facebook Inc. and the impact that it has had and continues to have on media and democracy around the world. Drawing on interviews with Facebook users of different kinds and dialogue with politicians regulators civil society and media commentators as well as detailed documentary scrutiny of legislative and regulatory proposals and Facebook’s corporate statements the book presents a comprehensive but clear overview of the current debate around Facebook and the global debate on the regulation of social media in the era of ‘surveillance capitalism.’ Chapters examine the business and growing institutional power of Facebook as it has unfolded over the fifteen years since its creation the benefits and meanings that it has provided for its users its disruptive challenge to the contemporary media environment its shaping of conversations and the emerging calls for its further regulation. The book considers Facebook’s alleged role in the rise of democratic movements around the world as well as its suggested role in the election of Donald Trump and the UK vote to leave the European Union. This book argues that Facebook in some shape or form is likely to be with us into the foreseeable future and that how we address the societal challenges that it provokes and the economic system that underpins it will define how human societies demonstrate their capacity to protect and enhance democracy and ensure that no corporation can set itself above democratic institutions. This is an important research volume for academics and researchers in the areas of media studies communications social media and political science.

Facebook DemocracyThe Architecture of Disclosure and the Threat to Public Life In July 2010 Facebook had over 500 million subscribers worldwide and the rapid rise of the site prompted Time magazine to name Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg its person of the year for 2010. This novel book advances our understanding of how democratic citizens are transformed by the "Facebook revolution". Despite increasing interest in politics and popular media there has been little academic work on the impact of Facebook on politics in general and on democratic processes in particular. The work that does exist has been limited to Facebook's impact on politics as a mobilization tool used by social movement activists. In this book José Marichal argues that understanding Facebook's impact on political processes requires an understanding of how Facebook's architecture of disclosure shapes the construction of individuals' political identities by drawing users further into their pre-selected social networks. Drawing on a number of disciplines and an ethnographic analysis of 250 Facebook political groups Marichal explores how Facebook's emphasis on social connection impacts key dimensions of political participation: e.g. mobilization deliberation and attitude formation.

Foregrounded against inadequate leadership and mentoring training in this sector this book looks at how mentoring is exercised through Facebook. Mentoring through Facebook provokes a strong sense of freedom in terms of speech and influence. The benefits for using social media in mentoring includes minimizing costs and reaching mass numbers of mentees globally where knowledge can be shared and information gained. Whilst there is also a positive and active approach to mentoring there is the danger of mentoring that misinforms disempowers and alienates. This book will help active players in the early childhood sector in understanding the crucial nature of mentoring and its impact when used through Facebook and similar social media sites.

Faces Inside and Outside the ClinicA Foucauldian Perspective on Cosmetic Facial Modification Drawing on studies of surface topography image editing and diagnostic and surgical experience Faces Inside and Outside the Clinic addresses the notion of ’truth’ in what are considered to be ’right’ and ’wrong’ faces whether in clinical cosmetic procedures or in specific sociocultural contexts outside the clinic. With attention to the manner in which the human face - and often the individual herself or himself as a consequence - is physically defined conceptually judged numerically measured and clinically analysed this book reveals that on closer inspection supposedly objective and evidential ’truths’ are in fact subjective and prescriptive. Adopting a Foucauldian analysis of the ways in which ’normalising technologies’ and ’techniques’ ultimately preserve and expand upon an increasing array of ’abnormal’ facial configurations Faces Inside and Outside the Clinic shows that when determining ’right’ and ’wrong’ faces what happens inside the clinic is inextricably linked to what happens outside the clinic - and vice versa. As such it will be of interest to scholars and students of social cultural and political theory contemporary philosophy and the social scientific study of science health and technology.

Faces of Discrimination in Higher Education in IndiaQuota policy social justice and the Dalits This book illuminates the experiences of a set of students and faculty who are members of the Dalit caste – commonly known as the ‘untouchables’ – and are relatively ‘successful’ in that they attend or are academics at a prestigious university. The book provides a background to the study exploring the role of caste and its enduring influence on social relations in all aspects of life. The book also contains a critical account of the current experiences of Dalit students and faculty in one elite university setting – the University of Shah Jahan (pseudonym). Drawing on a set of in-depth semi-structured interviews the empirical study that is at the centre of this book explores the perceptions of staff and students in relation to the Quota policy and their experiences of living working and studying in this elite setting. The data chapters are organised in such a way as to first explore the faculty views. The experiences of students are then examined with a focus on the way in which their caste is still an everyday part of how they are sometimes ‘othered’. Also a focus on female Dalit experiences attempts to capture the interconnecting aspects of abject discrimination in their university life. Faces of Discrimination in Higher Education in India explores: critical exploration of the Quota System policy and related social justice issues; faculty voices: Quota caste and discrimination; students’ perceptions and experiences of the Quota policy; being a ‘female Dalit’ student; positioning caste relations and the Quota policy: a critical analysis. This study will be of interest to educational sociologists examining policies in education and analysts of multicultural and South Asian studies.

Faces of Homelessness in the Asia Pacific Across the Asia Pacific there are a vast range of experiences of homelessness and an equally diverse range of responses from state systems. Since understandings of homelessness are also heavily dependent on geographical cultural and historical contexts attitudes towards it as a ‘social problem’ are essentially underpinned by ideological considerations. With a particular focus on critical and international policy and practice this book builds upon the current scholarship of homelessness across the Asia Pacific.

Faces of the Freudian IThe Structure of the Ego in Psychoanalysis In this book the author undertakes a systematic analysis of the notion of the Ego such as it evolves throughout the writings of Sigmund Freud. This is done in close readings of central works representing the different phases in the development of Freud's thinking from the 'Studies on Hysteria' to 'The Ego and the Id'. Throughout the examined works one aspect of Freud's thought turns out to be particularly central: a paradoxical coexistence of apparently incompatible perspectives without a sense of necessary movement toward their synthesis. In keeping with this  the author shows how the Freudian Ego is consistently depicted from two simultaneous though conflicting viewpoints making up two distinct discourses of the Ego - one from its own perspective a discourse of an agentic "I as subject" and the other from the perspective of the sites of the unconscious of a contingent "I as object".

Facet Analysis Facet Analysis is an important theory in the fields of knowledge organization and information retrieval. It has been stated that it has dominated what has been termed modern classification theory and the Classification Research Group of the UK aimed to make it the basis of all information retrieval'. Yet the philosophical and methodological bases of facet analysis are poorly understood by the wider information community and the theory is not well documented. Facet Analysis provides a general overview of facet analysis as a formal methodology for building knowledge organization and search tools and as a general knowledge organization theory. The functions of faceted systems can be broadly categorized as: organizing content; building tools; designing interfaces; and empowering search and examples of all of these are discussed. This book will be useful reading for LIS students enrolled on classification knowledge organisation and information retrieval modules. It will also be of immediate use to practitioners concerned with information organisation management and retrieval as well as software engineers web designers semantic web researchers and developers.

Face-to-Face InteractionResearch Methods and Theory Originally published in 1977. This book focuses on how to do research in the area of face-to-face interaction when studying human social conduct. It covers the methods of data collection and analysis and looks at the efficiency of these. It secondarily considers a model for conceptualising such interactions drawing together several social science components especially linguistics based on the idea that there is an organisational structure at work just as with grammar for language. Overall the book proposes a general conceptual framework for guiding empirical investigation with emphasis on simultaneous study of a number of acts viewed within each other’s contexts. This is an excellent resource for study on non-verbal communications describing specific studies as well as offering the clear overview and model for research.

Facial Hair and the Performance of Early Modern Masculinity Facial Hair and the Performance of Early Modern Masculinity is the first full-length critical study to analyse the importance of beards in terms of the theatrical performance of masculinity. According to medical cultural and literary discourses of early modern era in England facial hair marked adult manliness while beardlessness indicated boyhood. Beards were therefore a passport to cultural prerogatives. This book explores this in relation to the early modern stage a space in which the processes of gender formation in early modern society were writ large and how the uses of facial hair in the theatre illuminate the operations of power and politics in society more widely. Written for scholars of Early Modern Theatre and Theatre History this volume anatomises the role of beards in the construction of onstage masculinity acknowledging the challenges offered to the dominant ideology of manliness by boys and men who misrepresented or failed to fulfil bearded masculine ideals.

Facilitating Deep LearningPathways to Success for University and College Teachers Deep learning is a committed approach to learning. It is a process of constructing and interpreting new knowledge in light of prior cognitive structures and experiences which can be applied in new unfamiliar contexts. Deep learning produces learning that lasts a lifetime; and it results in better quality learning and profound understanding. In contrast surface learning involves a dispassionate approach to learning. The surface learner is not concerned with understanding. Information acquired is usually lost after examinations; and there is no profound understanding or knowledge construction. Research studies show that most university and college students today take a surface approach to learning. The purpose of this book is to show readers how to create a learning environment that promotes deep learning in their classes. The book will do so by providing readers with the theoretical and pedagogical tools needed to: • Understand the notion of deep learning • Design and implement courses that encourage students to take a deep approach to learning • Design engaging and innovative teaching and learning activities that encourage students to use higher-order cognitive skills to construct knowledge and negotiate meaning • Implement assessment tools aimed at facilitating the deep learning process • Support international and other nontraditional students to construct learning deeply. The book begins with an examination of the big picture: the institutional constraints that hinder a culture of deep learning. From there it deconstructs the concept of deep learning and it examines every element of the deep learning process. It also discusses the factors that contribute to produce a deep learning environment. The rest of the chapters are about how to facilitate deep learning. The book examines every component of the teaching and learning system: goals performances and evaluation. It discusses strategies and methods that teachers can adopt to help students learn how to read and write in their disciplines in a deep way. The book also discusses the notion of inclusive deep learning environments which focus on engaging nontraditional students. Media > Books > Print Books Apple Academic Press 9781771880053

Facilitating Posttraumatic GrowthA Clinician's Guide In this book Calhoun and Tedeschi construct the first systematic framework for clinical efforts to enhance the processes they sum up as posttraumatic growth. Posttraumatic growth is the phenomenon of positive change through struggle with even the most horrible sets of circumstances. People who experience it tend to describe three general types of change: realistically stronger feelings of vulnerability that are nonetheless accompanied by stronger feelings of personal resilience closer and deeper relationships with others and a stronger sense of spirituality. Posttraumatic growth has only recently become an important focus of interest for researchers and practitioners. Drawing on a burgeoning professional literature as well as on their own extensive clinical experience the authors present strategies for helping clients effect all three types of positive change - strategies that have been tested in a variety of groups facing a variety of crises and traumas. Their concise yet comprehensive practical guide will be welcomed by all those who counsel persons grappling with the worst life has to offer. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138012431

Facilitating Practitioner ResearchDeveloping Transformational Partnerships Facilitating Practitioner Research: Developing transformational partnerships addresses the complex dilemmas and issues that arise in practitioner inquiry. It recognises that facilitating practitioner research is far more than providing advice about method adoption important as that contribution is; or even modelling research practices and drawing attention to appropriate resources and theories. It also requires the evolution of strong reciprocal partnerships that will contribute to professional knowledge formation in both the academy and the field. When such engagement is undertaken then matters associated with authentic ‘praxis development’ for field based and academic practitioners emerge. The authors explore: how praxis as practice that can always be judged in terms of ‘what is’ and ‘what ought to be’ can be analysed in terms of functional and substantive rationality as well as life world and system issues. how a transformative partnership requires particular professional attitudes of practitioners and academic the underlying potential of practitioner inquiry where agency is afforded as a democratic principle to all who participate including the consequential stakeholders; the students in our schools and universities. It draws upon extensive case studies from The Netherlands Sweden and Australia which not only illustrate and illuminate but also highlight contradictions and tensions. The case studies exhibit issues related to the quality of the partnerships between the academy and the field and the ways in which quality impacts upon practice. Additionally the varying social geographies allow a discussion of different intellectual traditions belief systems problem settings questions and discourses. Facilitating Practitioner Research: Developing transformational partnerships will appeal internationally to academics involved with practitioner research. It will also prove useful to practitioners across the education sectors including researchers teachers and those involved in education policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415684422

Facilitating the Resettlement and Rights of Climate RefugeesAn Argument for Developing Existing Principles and Practices One of the most significant impacts of climate change is migration. Yet to date climate-induced migrants are falling within what has been defined by some as a ‘protection gap’. This book addresses this issue first by identifying precisely where the gap exists by reviewing the relevant legal tools that are available for those who are currently and who will in the future be displaced because of climate change. The authors then address the relevant actors; the identity of those deserving protection (displaced individuals) as well as other bearers of rights (migration-hosting states) and obligations (polluting states). The authors also address head-on the contentious topic of definitions concluding with the provocative assertion that the term ‘climate refugees’ is indeed correct and should be relied upon.　 The second part of the book looks to the future by advocating specific legal and institutional pathways. Notably the authors support the use of international environmental law as the most adequate and suitable regime for the regulation of climate refugees. With respect to the role of institutions the authors propose a model of ‘cross-governance’ through which a more inclusive and multi-faceted protection regime could be achieved.Addressing the regulation of climate refugees through a unique collaboration between a refugee lawyer and an environmental lawyer this book will be of great interest to scholars and professionals in fields including international law environmental studies refugee studies and international relations.

Facility Manager's Handbook The "bricks and mortar" issues of facility management - HVAC lighting electrical plumbing space allocation security and grounds maintenance - continue to be at the core the facility manager's role. However the processes involved in addressing these areas have become more complex. The proliferation of regulatory mandates worker compensation issues increased employee litigation and violence in the workplace have redefined the role of the facility manager beyond "gatekeeper" to that of full-scale operations manager. Today's corporations organizations and business partnerships invest heavily in their physical plants. It naturally follows that they expect to maximize the return on their investment. Facility managers are seen as the catalysts for ensuring that optimal return.The Facility Manager's Handbook addresses all of these issues and provides a multitude of tested ideas procedures and examples for successfully and cost-effectively managing facility operations. Written in a plain-language reader-friendly style it provides a panoramic view of the process by isolating the key areas the facility manager must address including real estate space and change management indoor air quality emergency preparedness and response planning communications systems regulatory mandates and more.

Facility Programming (Routledge Revivals)Methods and Applications First published in 1978 the objective of this book is to provide an authoritative and selective overview of current user-orientated programming methods within the field of environmental design. The 19 chapters compiled in this volume describe procedures and the information content of innovative approaches used by leading programming experts in the private and institutional sectors. Emphasis is placed on a qualitative and illustrative focus of selected approaches to environmental programming with the eventual occupants in mind. The chapter groupings are intended to reflect three major areas of professional engagement that serve the field of facility programming. The first group describe the approaches of firms or groups that were organised exclusively to provide environmental analysis and programming services. Part II is composed of chapters by authors who belong to established architectural firms with programming departments and Part III presents evidence that pertains to the supporting role of research and guidance literature from authors primarily affiliated with government agencies or supported by large organisations.

Facility SitingRisk Power and Identity in Land Use Planning From dams to landfill sites and power plants to radioactive waste repositories the siting of facilities is a veritable minefield of conflicts involving industry planners authorities NGOs and citizens. This penetrating volume examines risk power and identity in contests over the siting of infrastructure and industrial facilities. Going beyond nimby-ism experts in a variety of fields bring a multiperspective analysis from science law and media to case studies from the UK USA and Europe and expose the political and cultural dimensions of siting conflicts. In the process they show how place attachment and notions of landscape and local identity play a prominent role in resistance to 'development'. Topics covered include the importance of context in siting controversies siting methods and social representation siting conflicts the importance of institutional thinking in facility siting risk industrial encroachment and the sense of place siting and sacred places and law and fairness. This book is essential reading for academics in social sciences policy planning law and risk; policy makers planners and decision makers at all levels of government; business and industry particularly energy generation including nuclear and renewables transportation and large dams; risk assessment professionals; and NGOs and activists.

Facing Each Other (2 Volumes)The World’s Perception of Europe and Europe’s Perception of the World The perception of Europeans of the world and of the peoples beyond Europe has become in recent years the subject of intense scholarly interest and heated debate both in and outside the academy. So too has the concern with how it was that those peoples who were variously ’discovered’ and then as often as not colonised understood the strangers in their midst. This volume attempts to cover both these topics as well as to provide a number of crucial articles on the difficulties faced by modern historians in understanding the complex relationship between ’them’ and ’us’. Inevitably such relationships not only changed over time they also varied greatly from culture to culture. The articles therefore cover most of the areas with which the European world came into contact from the earliest Portuguese incursions into Africa in the mid fifteenth century until the explorations of Cook and Bougainville in the Pacific in the late eighteenth. It ranges too from Brazil to Russia from Tahiti to China. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315255569

Facing the MirrorOlder Women and Beauty Shop Culture This innovative ethnographic study of a neighborhood beauty salon investigates how customers constitute a lively affirming community of peers during their weekly visits. Facing the Mirror gives voice to older women who in a sexist and ageist society are frequently devalued and rendered invisible. These older mostly Jewish women articulate their experiences of bodily self-presentation femininity aging and caring pertaining to their lives within and outside Julie's International Salon. This book explores the socio-moral significance of these experiences which reveals as much about society as about older women themselves. Women's narratives expose structures of power inequality and resistance in the ways women perceive reality make choices and live in their worlds. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203825310

Facing the Unexpected in FlightHuman Limitations and Interaction with Technology in the Cockpit Airline pilots often have to face sudden unexpected situations that can become potentially dangerous. They are trained to deal with these situations but sometimes the lack of time before the situation deteriorates and the associated stress can compromise their basic cognitive sequence and lead to a serious incident or even an accident. This book identifies common denominators in pilots’ reactions to dangerous unexpected events and highlights behavior common to all in complex stressful situations. Facing the Unexpected in Flight: Human Limitations and Interaction with Technology attempts to clarify the human characteristics at play in stressful situations with the goal of providing a more solid basis for designing aeronautical operating equipment and shaping future automation. The book applies an original cognitive analysis method to highlight actual operational behavior within a quick succession of short mental segments lasting less than one minute in all. This rational method of assessing human potential should contribute to a more effective distribution of roles and help to optimize the pilot–aircraft interface. The current drive towards total automation together with the drone revolution and questions of cost-effectiveness within a global economy raises the question of whether there is a need for pilots onboard aircraft. So after scientifically dissecting human limitations and advantages in terms of flying an aircraft the book concludes with reflections by the author on the possibility and implications of eliminating pilots from aircraft. In this section the author sets aside scientific rigor and provides his sometimes subjective personal opinions on the professional future of airline pilots.

Facing the WildEcotourism Conservation and Animal Encounters What do wild animals mean to humans? Will they survive both rampant habitat loss and extinction caused by human encroachment and as ecotourists our enthusiasm for them? With ecotourism now the fastest growing segment of tourism and encounters with wild animals - be it swimming with dolphins going on safari or bird watching - ever more popular these are critical questions. Yet until now little has been known about why people crave encounters with wild animals and the meaning for the ecotourism industry conservation efforts and society at large. Facing the Wild is the first serious empirical examination of why people seek out animals in their natural environment what the desire for this experience tells us about the meanings of animals nature authenticity and wilderness in contemporary industrialized societies and whether visitors change their environmental perspectives and behaviour as the custodians of wildlife parks would like them to. The book explores the contradictions and ambivalence that so many people experience in the presence of 'wild nature' - in loving it we may diminish it and in the act of wanting to see it we may destroy it. Ultimately the book makes a case for 'respectful stewardship' of a 'hybrid nature' and provides insight for both practitioners and ecotourists alike. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781849773850

Facing Up to the Constancy of Organizational Change: Further Insights and Approaches to SolutionsA Special Issue of the European Journal of The game goes on. The pressure on organizations for continuous change in order to adapt to shifts in market structure to deregulation or legal initiatives and to quickly grasp evolving opportunities has not reduced on the contrary it has increased with progressing globalization and competition. Specifically current challenges range from managing mergers and acquisitions downsizing and 'rightsizing' to business re-engineering or developing and implementing new technologies. As sales markets are getting tougher companies keep decreasing the product life cycles which necessitates faster innovation. 'Change' has become a buzzword in the daily press; it seems to be omnipresent in the minds of consultants and other practitioners. Unfortunately the results from costly change efforts fall too often behind expectations. For social scientists therefore it remains a pertinent task to invest in research that helps to gain a better understanding of change processes and of factors that contribute to successful change and innovation. This special issue faces up to this challenge by providing empirical and theoretical contributions that address two subject areas of the multifaceted change arena: corporate restructurings such as merger and acquisition; downsizing or redundancies; and changing and innovating the way business is done.

Fact and Fantasy in Freudian Theory (RLE: Freud) Originally published in 1972 this second edition in 1981 was fully revised and updated to cover recent developments in the field at the time. Fact and Fantasy in Freudian Theory was written to answer many questions and criticisms surrounding psychoanalysis. How much if any of Freudian theory is verifiable according to the usual criteria of scientific enquiry? Much work had been carried out at the time to discover which parts of Freudian theory are verifiable and which insupportable by experiment. In this book Dr Kline surveys this vast body of work. He takes one by one the central postulates of Freudian psychology and discusses the experiments which have been performed to test them. He scrutinizes each test examines its methodology and its findings and weighs up its value. For some of the theories it will be seen there is no evidence whatsoever; for others on the other hand there is impressive and sometimes incontrovertible experimental support – for example for the theory of repression. This work will continue to be an invaluable highly detailed reference work for those involved with Freud’s work and a book of great interest to those concerned with the method of psychological enquiry in general.

Factor Analysis and Related Methods Factor Analysis is a genetic term for a somewhat vaguely delimited set of techniques for data processing mainly applicable to the social and biological sciences. These techniques have been developed for the analysis of mutual relationships among a number of measurements made on a number of measurable entities. In the broad sense factor analysis comprises a number of statistical models which yield testable hypotheses -- hypotheses that may confirm or disconfirm in terms of the usual statistical procedures for making tests of significance. It also comprises a number of simplifying procedures for the approximate description of data which do not in any sense constitute disconfirmable hypotheses except in the loose sense that they supply approximations to the data. In literature the two types of analysis have often been confused. This book clarifies the concepts of factor analysis for students or professionals in the social sciences who wish to know the technique rather than the mathematics of factor theory. Mathematical concepts are described to have an intuitive meaning for the non-mathematical reader. An account of the elements of matrix algebra in the appendix and the (mathematical) notes following each chapter will help the reader who wishes to receive a more advanced treatment of the subject. Factor Analysis and Related Methods should prove a useful text for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in economics the behavioral sciences and education. Researchers and practitioners in those fields will also find this book a handy reference. Media > Books > E-books Psychology Press 9781315802510

Factor AnalysisClassic Edition Comprehensive and comprehensible this classic text covers the basic and advanced topics essential for using factor analysis as a scientific tool in psychology education sociology and related areas. Emphasizing the usefulness of the techniques it presents sufficient mathematical background for understanding and applying its use. This includes the theory as well as the empirical evaluations. The overall goal is to show readers how to use factor analysis in their substantive research by highlighting when the differences in mathematical procedures have a major impact on the substantive conclusions when the differences are not relevant and when factor analysis might not be the best procedure to use. Although the original version was written years ago the book maintains its relevance today by providing readers with a thorough understanding of the basic mathematical models so they can easily apply these models to their own research. Readers are presented with a very complete picture of the "inner workings" of these methods. The new Introduction highlights the remarkably few changes that the author would make if he were writing the book today. An ideal text for courses on factor analysis or as a supplement for multivariate analysis structural equation modeling or advanced quantitative techniques taught in psychology education and other social and behavioral sciences researchers who use these techniques also appreciate this book’s thorough review of the basic models. Prerequisites include a graduate level course on statistics and a basic understanding of algebra. Sections with an asterisk can be skipped entirely if preferred.

Factor FiveTransforming the Global Economy through 80% Improvements in Resource Productivity When first published in 1997 Factor Four: Doubling Wealth Halving Resource Use by renowned economic and engineering experts Ernst von Weizsäcker Amory Lovins and L. Hunter Lovins transformed how economists policy makers engineers entrepreneurs and business leaders thought about innovation and wealth creation. Through examples from a wide range of industrial sectors the authors demonstrated how technical innovation could cut resource use in half while doubling wealth. Now twelve years on with climate change at the top of the world agenda and the new economic giants of China and India needing ever more resources there is a unique historic opportunity to scale up resources productivity and radically transform the global economy. And Factor Five is the book set to change all of this. Picking up where Factor Four left off this new book examines the past 15 years of innovation in industry technical innovation and policy. It shows how and where factor four gains have been made and how we can achieve greater factor five or 80%+ improvements in resource and energy productivity and how to roll them out on a global scale to retool our economic system massively boost wealth for billions of people around the world and help solve the climate change crises. Spanning dozens of countries including China and India and examining innumerable cases of innovation in design technology and policy the authors leave no engineering and economic stone unturned in their quest for excellence. The book tackles sustainable development and climate change by providing in depth Factor 5 resource productivity studies of the following sectors: Buildings Industry Agriculture Food and Hospitality and Transportation. In its systematic approach to demonstrating how Factor 5 can be achieved the book also provides an overview of energy/water nexus and energy/materials nexus efficiency opportunities across these sectors. Given that these sectors are responsible for virtually all energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions globally this book is designed to guide everyone from individual households businesses industry sector groups to national governments in their efforts to achieve the IPCC recommended target of 80 per cent reductions to greenhouse gas emissions. It also looks at innovation in regulation to increase resource productivity pricing carbon trading eco-taxation and permits and the role of international institutions and trade. The authors also explain exciting new concepts such as bio-mimicry and whole system design as hallmarks for a new generation of technologies. The last part of the book explores transformative ideas such as a long term trajectory of gently rising energy and resource prices and new concepts of well-being in a more equitable world. Like its predecessor this book is simply the most important work on the future of innovation business economics and policy and is top drawer reading for leaders across all sectors including business and industry government engineering and design and teaching.

Factor FourDoubling Wealth Halving Resource Use - A Report to the Club of Rome Since the industrial revolution progress has meant an increase in labour productivity. Factor Four describes a new form of progress resource productivity a form which meets the overriding imperative for the future (sustainability). It shows how at least four times as much wealth can be extracted from the resources we use. As the authors put it the book is about doing more with less but this is not the same as doing less doing worse or doing without. In 1972 the Club of Rome published Limits to Growth which sent shock waves around the world by arguing that we were rapidly running out of essential resources. This Report to the Club of Rome offers a solution. It lies in using resources more efficiently in ways which can already be achieved not at a cost but at a profit. The book contains a wealth of examples of revolutionizing productivity in the use of energy; from hypercars to low-energy beef; materials from sub-surface drip irrigation to electronic books transport video conferencing to CyberTran and demonstrating how much more could be generated from much less today. It explains how markets can be organized and taxes re-based to eliminate perverse incentives and reward efficiency so wealth can grow while consumption does not. The benefits are enormous: profits will increase pollution and waste will decrease and the quality of life will improve. Moreover the benefits will be shared: progress will no longer depend on making ever fewer people more productive. Instead more people and fewer resources can be employed. While for many developing countries the efficiency revolution may offer the only realistic chance of prosperity within a reasonable time span. The practical promise held out in this book is huge but the authors show how it is up to each of us as well as to businesses and governments to make it happen.

Factoring Groups into Subsets Decomposing an abelian group into a direct sum of its subsets leads to results that can be applied to a variety of areas such as number theory geometry of tilings coding theory cryptography graph theory and Fourier analysis. Focusing mainly on cyclic groups Factoring Groups into Subsets explores the factorization theory of abelian groups. The book first shows how to construct new factorizations from old ones. The authors then discuss nonperiodic and periodic factorizations quasiperiodicity and the factoring of periodic subsets. They also examine how tiling plays an important role in number theory. The next several chapters cover factorizations of infinite abelian groups; combinatorics such as Ramsey numbers Latin squares and complex Hadamard matrices; and connections with codes including variable length codes error correcting codes and integer codes. The final chapter deals with several classical problems of Fuchs. Encompassing many of the main areas of the factorization theory this book explores problems in which the underlying factored group is cyclic. Media > Books > Print Books Chapman & Hall 9781138401716

Facts Frameworks and Forecasts Facts Frameworks and Forecasts calls for rethinking the development of criminological theory. In her introduction Joan McCord argues that the field is ready for new approaches and that its progress depends on a sound factual base. Examining the discipline's research design methodology and quantitative analysis efforts the contributors identify significant advances in criminological theory. This empirical orientation results in a balanced blend of information and speculation.This book contains a comprehensive review. The first chapter describes biological conditions that have theoretical links with criminal behavior - ending with a discussion of how biological and social conditions may interact to influence criminal behavior. Early chapters discuss general issues related to crime. These are followed by expositions of theoretical orientations not typically found in criminological literature. The second half of the book describes seven longitudinal studies in four countries. The authors interpret their data to expose biological social and psychological factors they believe may influence criminal behavior.These contributors include: Guenther Knoblich and Roy King Daniel Glaser Robert A. Rosellini and Robin L. Lashley Robert J. Sampson Ellen S. Cohn and Susan O. White Joan McCord L. Rowell Huesmann and Leonard D. Eron Robert Cairns and Beverly Cairns Richard E. Tremblay Patricia Cohen and Judith S. Brook David P. Farrington and David Magnussen Britt af Klinteberg and Hakan Stattin.Facts Frameworks and Forecasts addresses the observation of noted criminologist Marvin Wolfgang that criminological theory had stagnated. This groundbreaking work available in paperback for the first time is as relevant now as when first published. It should be read by all concerned with data-related approaches to criminology.

Facts Values and Objectivity in Economics Is Economics an ‘objective’ or ‘positive’ science independent of ethical and political positions? The financial crisis that began in 2007 gave rise to renewed doubts regarding the ‘objectivity’ of economics and brought into the public arena a debate that was previously confined to academia. A remarkable feature of the public debate on the value neutrality of economics since then was that it not only involved indictments of ideological biases in economic theory but also the attribution of the crisis itself to the unethical orientation of economic agents of economists acting as experts and of ‘economic science’ itself. The contributors to this volume believe that economists of all persuasions are once again compelled to probe the normative foundations of their discipline and give a public account of their doubts and conclusions.

Facts & Norms What role should (non-normative) facts such as people’s confined generosity and scarcity of resources play in the normative theorising of political philosophers? The chapters in this book investigate different aspects of this broad question. Political philosophers are often silent on questions of what types of facts are relevant if any for normative theory and what methodological assumptions about agency and behaviour need to be made if any such assumptions are necessary. However due to recent debates among and between idealists non-idealists and realists in political theory the issue about the relation between facts and norms in political philosophy/theory is beginning to attract greater attention from political theorists/philosophers. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367548582

Facts and FablesThe Arab-Israeli Conflict The Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the greatest threats to world peace today. Yet for all the importance and passion of this conflict very little is actually known about the story behind the headlines. Behind each confrontation and each act of terrorism is a long and deep story. This primer on the Arab-Israeli conflict first published in 1989 examines the real stories behind the conflict and separates fact from fable. By carefully documenting each claim and counter-claim many widely-held beliefs are unmasked as myths. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138903661

Facts and ValuesThe Ethics and Metaphysics of Normativity This collection offers a synoptic view of current philosophical debates concerning the relationship between facts and values bringing together a wide spectrum of contributors committed to testing the validity of this dichotomy exploring alternatives and assessing their implications. The assumption that facts and values inhabit distinct unbridgeable conceptual and experiential domains has long dominated scientific and philosophical discourse but this separation has been seriously called into question from a number of corners. The original essays here collected offer a diversity of responses to fact-value dichotomy including contributions from Hilary Putnam and Ruth Anna Putnam who are rightly credited with revitalizing philosophical interest in this alleged opposition. Both they and many of our contributors are in agreement that the relationship between epistemic developments and evaluative attitudes cannot be framed as a conflict between descriptive and normative understanding. Each chapter demonstrates how and why contrapositions between science and ethics between facts and values and between objective and subjective are false dichotomies. Values cannot simply be separated from reason. Facts and Values will therefore prove essential reading for analytic and continental philosophers alike for theorists of ethics and meta-ethics and for philosophers of economics and law.

Faded and Threadbare Historic Textiles and their Role in Houses Open to the Public Many historic houses that open to the public in England and Wales - particularly those owned by the National Trust - preserve their contents rather than restore them to a particular period. The former owners of these houses often retained objects from various periods and this layering of history produces interiors that look aged and patinated. Although the reason for this preservation and lack of fashionable renewable can be attributed to declining economic fortunes in the twentieth century there are many examples of families practising this method of homemaking over a much longer period. Taking National Trust properties as its central focus this book examines three interlocking themes to examine the role of historic textiles. Firstly it looks at houses with preserved contents together with the reasons for individual families choosing this lifestyle; secondly the role of the National Trust as both guardian and interpreter of these houses and their collections; and finally and most importantly the influence of textiles to contribute to the appearance of interiors and their physical attributes that carry historical resonances of the past. The importance of preserved textiles in establishing the visual character of historic houses is a neglected area and therefore the prominence given to textiles in this project constitutes an original contribution to the study of these houses. Drawing upon a range of primary sources including literature produced by the National Trust for their sites and documentary sources for the families and their houses (such as diaries letters and household accounts) the study takes a broad approach that will be of interest to all those with an interest in material culture heritage collecting studies and cultural history.

Fad-Free StrategyRigorous Methods to Help Executives Make Strategic Choices Confidently Fad-Free Strategy provides a ground-breaking approach to making better business strategy decisions: more efficient open to out-of-the-box opportunities and evidence-based. Most strategy books focus on Grand Strategy the process that leads to high-level recommendations or more accurately hypotheses about where and how to compete. While this book briefly covers critical Grand Strategy practices it deep dives into Operational Strategy the process of validation adaptation and possible rejection of those hypotheses. Operational Strategy is based on an in-depth understanding of customer preferences and anticipating the choices they make. Those choices rather than managers’ ambitions determine whether a strategy will generate the aspired financial results. The book explains by means of detailed real-world cases across industries how to generate validated solutions to any strategic problem such as: how to enter successfully into new markets either as an innovator or as a latecomer? How to defend one’s position against aggressive new entrants? Or how to sustain margins when price is the only thing customers seem to care about? This remarkable book contains expert advice from accomplished strategic advisors and thought leaders Daniel Deneffe and Herman Vantrappen. Fad Free Strategy will be a useful tool for smart business executives at mainstream companies who are disappointed with strategy fads and simplistic solutions based on cherry-picked anecdotal evidence from today’s hero companies. It will also appeal to economics faculty members teaching graduate courses in business strategy who are looking for an economics-based strategy textbook that is both rigorous and comprehensive. The book’s core ideas have been taught successfully in continuing and executive education programs at Harvard University and Hult International Business School.

Fading awayThe Experience of Transition in Families with Terminal Illness This book comes out of an in-depth qualitative study of the experiences of twenty-three families in which one parent was dying of cancer. The study attempted to better understand the impact of terminal illness on the entire family system and sought to develop a theoretical framework that would guide the assessment of and services to such families. As a result of interviews with patients spouses and their adult children over three phases of the study the process of ""fading away"" was identified and conceptualized in terms of various phases which contributed to this process. The book is not a research report but rather presents more generally the ideas that developed from the study with two purposes: to increase the reader's understanding of particular experiences that families encounter when dealing with terminal illness specifically cancer. The intended readership also includes families themselves: to propose guidelines for care to be considered by practitioners working with such families.

Fado and the Place of LongingLoss Memory and the City Fado often described as 'urban folk music' emerged from the streets of Lisbon in the mid-nineteenth century and went on to become Portugal's 'national' music during the twentieth. It is known for its strong emphasis on loss memory and nostalgia within its song texts which often refer to absent people and places. One of the main lyrical themes of fado is the city itself. Fado music has played a significant role in the interlacing of mythology history memory and regionalism in Portugal in the second half of the twentieth century. Richard Elliott considers the ways in which fado songs bear witness to the city of Lisbon in relation to the construction and maintenance of the local. Elliott explores the ways in which fado acts as a cultural product reaffirming local identity via recourse to social memory and an imagined community while also providing a distinctive cultural export for the dissemination of a 'remembered Portugal' on the global stage.

Failed FührersA History of Britain’s Extreme Right This book provides a comprehensive history of the ideas and ideologues associated with the racial fascist tradition in Britain. It charts the evolution of the British extreme right from its post-war genesis after 1918 to its present-day incarnations and details the ideological and strategic evolution of British fascism through the prism of its principal leaders and the movements with which they were associated. Taking a collective biographical approach the book focuses on the political careers of six principal ideologues and leaders Arnold Leese (1878–1956); Sir Oswald Mosley (1896–1980); A.K. Chesterton (1899–1973); Colin Jordan (1923–2009); John Tyndall (1934–2005); and Nick Griffin (1959–) in order to study the evolution of the racial ideology of British fascism from overtly biological conceptions of ‘white supremacy’ through ‘racial nationalism’ and latterly to ‘cultural’ arguments regarding ‘ethno-nationalism’. Drawing on extensive archival research and often obscure primary texts and propaganda as well as the official records of the British government and its security services this is the definitive historical account of Britain’s extreme right and will be essential reading for all students and scholars of race relations extremism and fascism.

Failed States and the Origins of ViolenceA Comparative Analysis of State Failure as a Root Cause of Terrorism and Political Violence What makes a terrorist? Is an individual inherently predisposed to be attracted to political violence or does exposure to a certain environment desensitize them in such a way that violence represents a viable mode for addressing political grievances? Identifying state failure as the impetus for political violence this book addresses these questions and focuses on why existing extremist groups find failed states so attractive. Utilizing global barometer data Tiffiany Howard examines the underpinnings of individual support for political violence and argues that an insidious pattern of deprivation within failed states drives ordinary citizens to engage in and support extreme acts of political violence. A rigorous examination of four regions plagued by a combination of failed states and political violence-Sub Saharan Africa The Middle East and North Africa Southeast and South Asia and Latin America-this text draws parallels to arrive at a single conclusion: that failed states are a natural breeding ground for terrorism and political violence.

Failure Failure success's ugly sister is inevitable - cognitively biologically and morally. We all make mistakes we all die and we all get it wrong. A chain of flaws can be traced through all phenomena natural and human. We see impending and actual failures in individual lives in marriages careers in religion education psychotherapy business nations and in entire civilizations. And there are chronic and imperceptible failures in everyday domains that most of the time we barely notice often until it is too late. Colin Feltham expores what constitutes failure across a number of domains. He takes guidance from the work of such diverse philosophers and thinkers as Diogenes Epictetus Augustine Schopenhauer Kierkegaard Heidegger Sartre Camus Cioran and Ricoeur while also drawing on the insights of artists and writers such as van Gogh Arthur Miller Philip Larkin Samuel Beckett Charles Bukowski and Philip Roth. Precursors and partial synonyms for failure can be seen in the concepts of hamartia sin fallenness non-being false consciousness and anthropathology. Philosophy can help us but is itself in its reliance on language and logic subject to inherent flaws and failures. It is the very pervasiveness yet common denial of failure which makes it a compelling topic that cries out for honest analysis. We live in a time when the cliche of failed Marxism may be segueing frighteningly (for some) into the failure of 'selfish capitalism' in a time of geopolitical uncertainty and failure to address the dire need for agreement and action on climate change. But many of us are also painfully aware of our own shortcomings our own weakness of will and lack of authenticity. Trying to identify where the lines may be drawn between individual responsibility social policy and historical and biological dark forces is a key challenge in this fascinating book.

Failure and Nerve in the Academic Study of Religion Failure and Nerve in the Academic Study of Religion presents a provocative critique of the unwillingness of modern scholars to publically distinguish research into comparative religion from confessional studies written within denominationally-affiliated institutions. The book offers the 19th Century founders of the study of religion as a bracing corrective to contemporary timidity. The issue was analysed and documented by Wiebe a quarter of a century ago. Here marking Wiebe's work a wide range of contributors reassess the methodology and ambition of contemporary religious research. The book argues that conceptualizing religion as part of the world of human action and experience is the first requirement of the study of religion.

Failure of Corporate School Reform Corporate school reforms especially privatization union busting and high-stakes testing have been hailed as the last best hope for public education. Yet as Kenneth Saltman powerfully argues in this new book corporate school reforms have decisively failed to deliver on what their proponents have promised for two decades: higher test scores and lower costs. As Saltman illustrates the failures of corporate school reform are far greater and more destructive than they seem. Left unchecked corporate school reform fails to challenge and in fact worsens the most pressing problems facing public schooling including radical funding inequalities racial segregation and anti-intellectualism. But it is not too late for change. Against both corporate school reformers and its liberal critics this book argues for the expansion of democratic pedagogies and a new common school movement that will lead to broader social renewal.

Failure or Reform?Market-Based Policy Instruments for Sustainable Agriculture and Resource Management Market reform promises more environmental protection and more profitable agriculture at lower financial cost. Too good to be true? This book examines numerous empirical examples of policy in action to identify principles for the successful application of market-based policy instruments. Where some market instruments are used to fix market failures by putting a value on environmental protection others use market-like mechanisms to allocate financial incentives for environmental work. They are promoted as flexible efficient and politically neutral solutions to the competing demands of social economic and ecological sustainability. But they also attract criticism for rolling back environmental regulation and privatizing public goods. This book argues that while many market-based instruments have merit decisions about responsibility cannot be left entirely to the market. Whichever instruments we use decision-making needs to be embedded in a logic of democratization. Using case studies from around the world this book investigates how instruments like eco-standards payments for ecosystem services pollution trading and community-based natural resource management perform in practice and what can be learned about applying them more effectively. While the approach is primarily sociological it is deliberately written to bridge the gap between sociology economics environmental sciences and the concerns of environmental policy makers.

Failures and the LawStructural Failure Product Liability and Technical Insurance 5 The interaction between engineering and the law is undergoing dramatic changes. Product liability laws have been introduced in Japan patent claims over living organisms have been made in bioengineering and the differing national laws of copyright protection and liability are in the process of harmonisation especially in the European Union. The pace and complexity of these changes make it essential for technologists lawyers engineers and insurance experts to establish a common basis for understanding co-operation and exchange of expertise. The recently founded International Society for Technology Law and Insurance aims to foster such co-operation. This volume features 46 selected contributions which address various topical issues and the law. The most important issues relate to engineering risks quality assurance and assessment and legal implications assiciated with them. Recent failure cases are explained and the technical legal and insurance-related issues discussed in detail. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367579500

Failures in Concrete StructuresCase Studies in Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Some lessons are only learned from mistakes but it’s much cheaper to learn from someone else’s mistakes than to have to do so from your own. Drawing on over fifty years of working with concrete structures Robin Whittle examines the problems which he has seen occur and shows how they could have been avoided. The first and largest part of the book tells the stories of a number of cases where things have gone wrong with concrete structures. Each case is analyzed to identify its cause and how it might have been prevented. It then looks at how failures in structural modelling can lead to big problems if they are not identified before construction is undertaken. Beyond this it examines how contract arrangements can encourage or prevent problems in the designing and building processes. It concludes with an examination of the role research and development in preventing failures. By identifying the differences between shoddy economizations and genuine efficiency savings this book offers savings in the short term which won’t be at the expense of a structure’s long-term performance. Invaluable reading if you’re designing or building concrete structures and want to avoid problems which could be expensive or embarrassing further down the line.

Fair and Equitable Benefit-Sharing in Agriculture (Open Access)Reinventing Agrarian Justice This book explores the emergence and development of the legal concept of fair and equitable benefit-sharing and its application in agriculture. Developed in the 1990s the concept of fair and equitable benefit-sharing has been deployed in an ever-wider variety of international instruments including those on biodiversity climate change and human rights. A lack of clarity persists however on what fair and equitable benefit-sharing requires and entails and whether its implementation supports or eventually undermines equity and justice. This book examines these questions in the area of land food and agriculture addressing for the first time several instances of the agricultural production chain including research and development land governance and land use and access to markets. It identifies challenges regarding implementation of the concept as enshrined in environmental treaties and soft-law instruments with a focus on the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture the Voluntary Guidelines on Tenure and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants. It investigates its role enabling conditions and limitations in a contradictory policy context involving environmental food security and human rights objectives but also a growing web of multilateral and bilateral trade and investment agreements. Linking international law research with a socio-legal analysis the book addresses four grassroots examples which offer ideas for institutional and legal innovation from the local to the global level.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 This interdisciplinary title will be of great interest to students and scholars of international environmental law agriculture land law development studies and global governance as well as policymakers and practitioners working in these fields. “The Open Access version of this book available at https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429198304  has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license."

Fair Shared CitiesThe Impact of Gender Planning in Europe Bringing together a diverse team of leading scholars and professionals this book offers a variety of insights into ongoing gender mainstreaming policies in Europe with a focus on urban/spatial planning. Gender mainstreaming was first legislated for in the European Union with the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1999 and although many interesting developments have occurred throughout the decade that followed there is still much to do in terms of policy knowledge production dissemination and education. This work contributes to all three objectives by advancing the state of knowledge as well as providing educational and professional tools in the field of gender sensitive planning in Europe. The volume begins by explaining the concept of gender mainstreaming in relation to its origins in the 'second wave' of the women's movement and critiques of planning architecture transport planning and other built environment disciplines. It then provides a brief history of how gender mainstreaming was incorporated into European law before focussing on the theoretical issues and questions that surround the concept of gender mainstreaming as they relate to urban space and the planning of cities and regions including a discussion of the persistence of inequalities between the sexes in their access to urban space and services. In particular the division between waged and unwaged work and its impact on the social construction of gender and of the physical built environment is considered. The differences between definitions of feminism and their implications for action in planning and design are also explored paying regard to the tensions between a feminist vision of a transformation of gender relations and the requirements of gender mainstreaming to accommodate the different needs of women and men in their everyday lives in urban space. Throughout the book key issues recur such as the importance of time and space in the experience of urbanism resistances to change on the part of institutions and social structures and the importance of networks. Education and training also appear as common themes as do citizen participation and the structures of governance. The chapters are organised into four sections: concepts structures empowerment and spatial quality. Contributors demonstrate a variety of approaches to the intersections of gender women cities and planning dealing with substantive and procedural issues in planning at both local and regional scales. They stress the links between environmental sustainability and gender-sensitive urban development. The book concludes by putting forward an outlook for future action.

Fair Trade Corporate Accountability and BeyondExperiments in Globalizing Justice As trade and production have increasingly crossed international boundaries private bodies and governments alike have sought new ways to regulate labour standards and advance goals of fairness and social justice. Governments are harnessing social and market forces to advance corporate accountability while private bodies are employing techniques drawn from command and control regulation to shape the behaviour of business. This collection brings together the research and reflections of a diverse international mix of academics activists and practitioners in the fields of fair trade and corporate accountability representing perspectives from both the industrialized and developing worlds. Contributors provide detailed case studies of a range of social justice governance initiatives documenting the evolution of established strategies of advocacy and social mobilization and evaluating the strengths and limitations of voluntary initiatives compared with legally enforceable instruments.

Fair Trade and Organic Initiatives in Asian AgricultureThe Hidden Realities In addition to constituting an evolving area of inquiry within the social sciences agricultural certification and particularly its Fair Trade and organic components has emerged as a significant tool for promoting rural development in the global South. This book is unique for two reasons. First in contrast to existing studies that have tended to examine Fair Trade and organic certification as independent systems the studies presented in this book reveal their joint application within actual production settings demonstrating the greater complexity entailed in these double certification systems through the generation of contradictions and tensions compared with single certification systems. Second the authors who are both Asian reveal the realities of applying Fair Trade and organic certification systems within Asian agriculture. In doing so they challenge the fact that most Fair Trade studies have been undertaken by Western scholars who have tended to focus on Latin American and African producers. Drawing on a wealth of grounded case studies conducted in India Thailand and the Philippines this pioneering study on double certification makes a significant contribution to studies on Fair Trade and organic agriculture beyond Asia.

Fair Trade Organizations and Social EnterpriseSocial Innovation through Hybrid Organization Models For several decades social enterprises have been pioneers in the conception and implementation of a pathbreaking social innovation: Fair Trade (FT). Fair Trade Social Enterprises have created a movement which has challenged mainstream trading practices and offered development opportunities for disadvantaged producer groups in the South. Starting from a niche market aimed at convinced customers FT has expanded and entered mainstream retailing outlets growing in visibility and market share while simultaneously experiencing diversification of its organization models. While pioneer Fair Trade Social Enterprises in the early years were largely nonprofit organizations relying on voluntary work they have become increasingly diversified in terms of legal forms governance models and organizational practices. These diversified models seem to reflect the hybrid nature of FT itself through different ways of combining a commercial activity (trading of FT products) a social mission (support to producers) and an explicit or implicit political message (often expressed through education and advocacy). Based on the study of Fair Trade Social Enterprises across Europe this book builds a typology of organization models for FT. Author Benjamin Huybrechts further examines how the different organization models combine the economic social and political dimensions of FT and how they manage the possible tensions between these dimensions. Fair Trade Organizations and Social Enterprise proposes a range of theoretical approaches to interpret the diversity of Fair Trade Social Enterprises and offers concrete avenues for managing social enterprises and hybrid organizations in general.

Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition Ronald Fairbairn developed a thoroughgoing object relations theory that became a foundation for modern clinical thought. This volume is homage to the enduring power of his thinking and of his importance now and for the future of relational thinking within the social and human sciences. The book gathers an international group of therapists analysts psychiatrists social commentators and historians who contend that Fairbairn's work extends powerfully beyond the therapeutic. They suggest that social cultural and historical dimensions can all be illuminated by his work.Object relations as a strand within psychoanalysis began with Freud and passed through Ferenczi and Rank Balint Suttie and Klein to come of age in Fairbairn's papers of the early 1940s. That there is still life in this line of thinking is illustrated by the essays in this collection and by the modern relational turn in psychoanalytic theory the development of attachment theory and the increasing recognition that there is 'no such thing as an ego' without context without relationships without a social milieu.

Fairness In theory and practice the notion of fairness is far from simple. The principle is often elusive and subject to confusion even in institutions of law usage and custom. In Fairness Nicholas Rescher aims to liberate this concept from misunderstandings by showing how its definitive characteristics prevent it from being absorbed by such related conceptions as paternalistic benevolence radical egalitarianism and social harmonization. Rescher demonstrates that equality before the state is an instrument of justice not of social utility or public welfare and argues that the notion of fairness stops well short of a literal egalitarianism.Rescher disposes of the confusions arising from economists' penchant to focus on individual preferences from decision theorists' concern for averting envy and from political theorists' sympathy for egalitarianism. In their place he shows how the idea of distributive equity forms the core of the concept of fairness in matters of distributive justice. The coordination of shares with valid claims is the crux of the concept of fairness. In Rescher's view this means that the pursuit of fairness requires objective rather than subjective evaluation of the goods being shared. This is something quite different from subjective equity based on the personal evaluation of goods by those laying claim to them. Insofar as subjective equity is a concern the appropriate procedure for its realization is a process of maximum value distribution. Further Rescher demonstrates that in matters of distributive justice the distinction between new ownership and preexisting ownership is pivotal and calls for proceeding on very different principles depending on the case. How one should proceed depends on context and what is adjudged fair is pragmatic in that there are different requirements for effectiveness in achieving the aims and purposes of the sort of distribution that is intended.Rescher concludes that fairness is a fundamentally ethical concept. Its distinctive modus operandi contrasts sharply with the aims of paternalism preference-maximizing or economic advantage. Fairness will be of interest to philosophers economists and political scientists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138509993

Fairness and Justice in Environmental Decision MakingWater Under the Bridge By crossing disciplinary boundaries this book uniquely connects theories of justice with people's lived experience within social conflicts over resource sharing. It shows why some conflicts such as local opposition to wind farms and water disputes have become intractable social problems in many countries of the world. It shows the power of injustice in generating opposition to decisions. The book answers the question: why are the results of many government initiatives and policies not accepted by those affected? Focusing on two social conflicts over water sharing in Australia to show why fairness and justice are important in decision-making the book shows how these conflicts are typical of water sharing and other natural resource conflicts experienced in many countries around the world particularly in the context of climate change. It tells the stories of these conflicts from the perspectives of those involved. These practically-based findings are then related back to ideas and constructs of justice from disciplines such as social psychology political philosophy and jurisprudence. With a strong practical focus this book offers readers an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of fairness and justice in environmental decision-making. It opens up a wealth of fairness and justice ideas for decision-makers practitioners and researchers in natural resource management environmental governance community consultation and sustainable development as well as people in government and corporations who interface and consult with communities where natural resources are being used.

Fairness and Justice in Natural Resource Politics As demand for natural resources increases due to the rise in world population and living standards conflicts over their access and control are becoming more prevalent. This book critically assesses different approaches to and conceptualizations of resource fairness and justice and applies them to the analysis of resource conflicts. Approaches addressed include cosmopolitan liberalism  political economy and political ecology. These are applied at various scales (local national international) and to initiatives and instruments in public and private resource governance such as corporate social responsibility instruments certification schemes international law and commodity markets. In doing so the contributions contrast existing approaches to fairness and justice and extend them by taking into account the interplay between political scales regions resources and power structures in "glocalized" resource politics. Various case studies are included concerning agriculture agrofuels land grabbing water resources mining and biodiversity. The volume adds to the academic and policy debate by bringing together a variety of disciplines and perspectives in order to advance both a research and policy agenda that puts notions of resource fairness and justice center-stage.

Fairness Issues in Educational Assessment Fairness and ethicality have been at the center of the debates on the appropriate use of educational tests since the 1960s. Particularly in high-stakes contexts it is clear that fairness should be a major concern to both the test developers and to those being tested given that the fairness of a test is so intertwined with its validity. Fairness Issues in Educational Assessment aims to shed more light on the issue and bring to sight some of the ways in which test fairness can be addressed. The contributions written by some of the most prominent figures in educational assessment address both theoretical and practical aspects of test fairness. The wealth of ideas presented here will be valuable to novice researchers and help them appreciate both the joy and complexity of conducting fair educational measurement.

Fairy Tales Myth and Psychoanalytic TheoryFeminism and Retelling the Tale At the same time that 1970s feminist psychoanalytic theorists like Jean Baker Miller and Nancy Chodorow were challenging earlier models that assumed the masculine psyche as the norm for human development and mental/emotional health writers such as Anne Sexton Olga Broumass and Angela Carter were embarked on their own revisionist project to breathe new life into fairy tales and classical myths based on traditional gender roles. Similarly in the 1990s second-wave feminist clinicians continued the work begun by Chodorow and Miller while writers of fantasy that include Terry Windling Tanith Lee Terry Pratchett and Catherynne M. Valente took their inspiration from revisionist authors of the 1970s. As Schanoes shows these two decades were both particularly fruitful eras for artists and psychoanalytic theorists concerned with issues related to the development of women's sense of self. Putting aside the limitations of both strains of feminist psychoanalytic theory their influence is undeniable. Schanoes's book posits a new model for understanding both feminist psychoanalytic theory and feminist retellings one that emphasizes the interdependence of theory and art and challenges the notion that literary revision involves a masculinist struggle with the writer's artistic forbearers.

Fairy Tales and International RelationsA Folklorist Reading of IR Textbooks This book offers a critical engagement with contemporary IR textbooks via a novel folklorist approach. Two parts of the folklorist approach are developed addressing story structures via resemblances to two fairy tales and engaging with the role of authors via framing gestures. The book not only looks at how the idea of ‘social science’ may persist in textbooks as many assumptions about what it means to study IR but also at how these assumptions are written into the defining stories textbooks tell and the possibilities for (re)negotiating these stories and the boundaries of the discipline.This book will specifically engage with how the stories in textbooks constrain how it is possible to define IR through its (re)production as a social science discipline. In the first part story structures are explored via Donkeyskin and Bluebeard stories which the book argues resemble some structures in textbooks that define how it is permissible to tell stories about IR. In the second part the role of authors is explored via their framing gestures within a text drawing on a number of fairy tales. By approaching the stories in textbooks alongside fairy tales Starnes reflects back onto IR the disciplining practices in the stories textbooks tell by rendering them unfamiliar. Aiming to spark a critical conversation about the role of textbooks in defining the boundaries of what counts as IR and by extension the boundaries of the IR canon this book is of great interest to students and scholars of international relations.

Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion The fairy tale is arguably one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until the first publication of Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives – their behavior values and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows in this classic work fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. How and why did certain authors try to influence children or social images of children? How were fairy tales shaped by the changes in European society in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries? Zipes examines famous writers of fairy tales such as Charles Perrault Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm Hans Christian Andersen and L.Frank Baum and considers the extraordinary impact of Walt Disney on the genre as a fairy tale filmmaker.

Fairy Tales and the Social UnconsciousThe Hidden Language The book combines two main perspectives: the study of the social unconscious and the study of fairy tales. Examining different versions of fairy tales told by different ethnic communities teaches us about the relations between universal and local/cultural aspects of the social unconscious. Exploring the unique status of fairy tales as located on the border line between concrete/somatic and abstract/linguistic realms sheds light on different levels of the human mind. The book focuses on a specific phenomenon common in fairy tales: a realization of idiomatic expressions - a phenomenon in which an abstract/mental idea is hidden behind a concrete event embedded in the plot. Deciphering the abstract idea out of the pictorial world of the fairy tale enables to understand the stories in a way which is not available otherwise. The book suggests interdisciplinary examination reminding us the rich deep messages hidden in fairy tales and connecting us to early developments in the field of psychoanalysis by suggesting new interpretation to old ancient material.

Fairy-Tale TV This concise and accessible critical introduction examines the world of popular fairy-tale television tracing how fairy tales and their social and cultural implications manifest within series television events anthologies and episodes and as freestanding motifs. Providing a model of televisual analysis Rudy and Greenhill emphasize that fairy-tale longevity in general and particularly on TV results from malleability—morphing from extremely complex narratives to the simple quotation of a name (like Cinderella) or phrase (like "happily ever after")—as well as its perennial value as a form that is good to think with. The global reach and popularity of fairy tales is reflected in the book’s selection of diverse examples from genres such as political lifestyle reality and science fiction TV. With a select mediagraphy discussion questions and detailed bibliography for further study this book is an ideal guide for students and scholars of television studies popular culture and media studies as well as dedicated fairy-tale fans.

Faith In "Faith" the theologian Theo Hobson explores the notion of faith and the role it plays in our lives. He unpacks the concept to ask whether faith is dependent on religion or whether it is also a general secular phenomenon. In exploring this question Hobson ranges widely over theology philosophy politics and psychology and engages with the writings of Christian and atheist thinkers alike. The book begins by considering attitudes to faith in recent works of atheism. Hobson shows how Richard Dawkins and other writers while attacking faith in one sense have exhibited faith in another. The book goes on to explore the wider meaning of faith including our faith in free-market capitalism the part faith plays in democratic politics and the role faith has in our psychological well-being. To understand the role of faith in modernity Hobson argues we must attend to the specifically Christian concept of faith. Hobson then returns to the religious meaning of faith by exploring the account of faith in the Bible and charting the tension between faith and reason in Christian thought. The final chapter takes an autobiographical turn and relates how the author came to take faith seriously and to question what Christians are meant to have faith in. From the Old Testament story of Abraham to the visionary poetry of W. B. Yeats from the polemics of Luther to the rhetoric of Barack Obama the author presents us with a fresh and illuminating meditation on the nature of faith. In doing so he reveals how trust and faith the religious and secular are utterly entwined and how the attraction of religious faith outweighs the intellectual difficulties it presents.

Faith Culture and the Dual SystemA Comparative Study of Church and County Schools Originally published in 1986 this book is based on research carried out in 102 County secondary and Church of England secondary and primary schools in London the North West Region and the West Midlands. It analyses data collected from interviews with 102 headteachers 67 religious education teachers and 139 parents whose children were attending Church schools. The book is divided into four main areas. First it examines pupil admission policies illustrating their effect both with the schools and on the neighbourhood. Second it outlines the policies and practices adopted by Church school governors in appointing teaching staff and discusses the implications of these policies. The third area deals with school worship assemblies and religious education and their place in the life of the school. The study highlights important issues and challenges facing schools especially where there is considerable religious diversity among pupils. It discusses some of the difficulties of implementing the law relating to the daily act of worship and why some schools observe the law while others disregard it. Key issues are explored which are central to the teaching of religious education: How RE teachers respond to religious diversity; why Christianity may or may not be given a central place in RE classes; what parents and RE teachers hope RE classes will achieve for pupils by the time they leave school. The fourth area focusses on multicultural education and illustrates the divergent views of headteachers on the aims purposes and relevance on multicultural education.

Faith Diversity and EducationAn Ethnography of a Conservative Christian School This volume explores how conservative Christian schools are shaping education in America and in turn students’ attitudes about diversity. Based on data collected as part of a year-long ethnographic study of a K-12 conservative Christian school in the South this volume analyzes the way that diversity was thought about and acted upon in a school and how these decisions affected students and teachers across racial differences. The book demonstrates that conservative Christian theology defined a school’s diversity efforts. It also reveals the complexity of addressing diversity in a context that is largely wary of it at least in its typical secular usage. The findings presented in the book raise important questions about school vouchers the influence of religious beliefs on educators’ decision-making in schools the morality and existence of Christian schools and diversity initiatives in white spaces. Faith Diversity and Education: An Ethnography of a Conservative Christian School will be of great interest to researchers academics and postgraduate students in the fields of education sociology and religion.

Faith Gender and the Senses in Italian Renaissance and Baroque ArtInterpreting the Noli me tangere and Doubting Thomas Taking the Noli me tangere and Doubting Thomas episodes as a focal point this study examines how visual representations of two of the most compelling and related Christian stories engaged with changing devotional and cultural ideals in Renaissance and Baroque Italy. This book reconsiders depictions of the ambiguous encounter of Mary Magdalene and Christ in the garden (John 20:11-19 known as the Noli me tangere) and that of Christ’s post-Resurrection appearance to Thomas (John 20:24-29 the Doubting Thomas) as manifestations of complex theological and art theoretical milieus. By focusing on key artistic monuments of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods the authors demonstrate a relationship between the rise of skeptical philosophy and empirical science and the efficacy of the senses in the construction of belief. Further the authors elucidate the differing representational strategies employed by artists to depict touch and the ways in which these strategies were shaped by gender social class and educational level. Indeed over time St. Thomas became an increasingly public--and therefore masculine--symbol of devotional verification juridical inquiry and empirical investigation while St. Mary Magdalene provided a more private model for pious women celebrating mostly behind closed doors the privileged and active participation of women in the faith. The authors rely on primary source material--paintings sculptures religious tracts hagiography popular sermons and new documentary evidence. By reuniting their visual examples with important often little-known textual sources the authors reveal a complex relationship between visual imagery the senses contemporary attitudes toward gender and the shaping of belief. Further they add greater nuance to our understanding of the relationship between popular piety and the visual culture of the period. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138310254

Faith Hope and PoetryTheology and the Poetic Imagination Faith Hope and Poetry explores the poetic imagination as a way of knowing; a way of seeing reality more clearly. Presenting a series of critical appreciations of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day Malcolm Guite applies the insights of poetry to contemporary issues and the contribution poetry can make to our religious knowing and the way we 'do theology'. This book is not solely concerned with overtly religious poetry but attends to the paradoxical ways in which the poetry of doubt and despair also enriches theology. Developing an original analysis and application of the poetic vision of Coleridge Larkin and Seamus Heaney in the final chapters Guite builds towards a substantial theology of imagination and provides unique insights into truth that complement and enrich more strictly rational ways of knowing. Readers of this book will return to their reading of poetry equipped with new insights and enthusiasm and will be challenged to integrate imaginative ways of knowing into their other academic and intellectual pursuits.

Faith Ideology and FearMuslim Identities Within and Beyond Prisons Based on four years anthropological research within prisons and Muslim communities in the UK this book offers a unique discussion of the relationship between the experience of prison among Muslims and the formation of religious identity. Gabriele Marranci thoroughly examines Muslim religious life in prison the work of Muslim chaplains and imams (and the overall impact that they have on Muslim prisoners) providing an analysis of the current prison policies aiming to prevent radicalisation and discusses the counterproductive results of an increasing young Muslim presence in prisons as well as the reaction of the Muslim communities to this increase. Marranci suggests that the prison environment and increasing restrictions therein are linked to the fear of radicalization and are facilitating identity processes in which Islam turns into an ideology. This important study goes on to make a thorough examination of the lives of former Muslim prisoners showing how they are particularly vulnerable to extremists' recruitment and explaining the dynamics which have led in certain cases to their recommitting offences or embarking on a path of radicalization.

Faith War and Violence Faith War and Violence analyzes the age-old links between religion and violence perpetrated in the name of God and the role religion performs in politically infusing the state with romantic spiritualism. The volume examines instances of this phenomenon from ancient Rome to the modern day; it finds that religion-inspired violence is not restricted to Abrahamic faiths or to one geographic region.The fact that symbolically charged religious violence has destructive consequences is not lost on contributors to Faith War and Violence. Among the subjects tackled are: the ideological and religious foundations that inspired the founders of Al-Qaeda and its role in the Arab Spring; the long history of religious conflict in Ireland known as the Troubles; Sikh extremism; and the evolution of the Christian approach to war.As the contributors demonstrate in Western societies the unity of religious fervor and warmongering stretches from Constantine's incorporation of Christian symbols into Roman army flags to slogans like Gott mit uns (God is with us) which appeared on the belt buckles of German soldiers in World War I. In recent years George W. Bush declared the war on terror a "crusade " and his speechwriter David Frum coined the religiously inspired term "Axis of Evil " to describe Iraq and other countries opposing the United States.

Faith after Foundationalism Foundationalism is the view that philosophical propositions are of two kinds those which need supporting evidence and those which in themselves provide the evidence which renders them irrefutable. This book  originally published 1988  describes the battle between foundationalism which places belief in God in the first category and various other approaches to the problem of faith – ‘Reformed Epistemology’  hermeneutics; and sociological analysis. In the concluding section of the book an examination of concept formation in religious belief is used to reinterpret the gap between the expressive power of language and the reality of God.

The central theme of this book is that of beauty. Farley employs a new typology of western texts on beauty and a theological analysis of the image of God and redemption to counter the centuries-long tendency to ignore or marginalize beauty and the aesthetic as part of the life of faith. Studying the interpretation of beauty in ancient Greece eighteenth-century England the work of Jonathan Edwards and nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophies of human self-transcendence the author explores whether Christian existence the life of faith and the ethical exclude or require an aesthetic dimension in the sense of beauty.

Similarly poetry and other literary texts provide evidence for how Jews viewed Christians and Christians viewed Moors. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315255538

Faith and FreedomContexts Choices and Crises in Religious Commitments It is sometimes thought that individual religious faith should be firmly fixed in the traditions of the past. That once it is established in someone’s life it should remain steadfast and unchanging throughout personal cultural or any other changes. This book subverts that idea by showing how it is actually ongoing inquiry examination and indeed change requiring similarly ongoing acts of informed and responsible freedom that will produce a dynamic and meaningful faith.Contending that religious faith should readily encompass deliberate and ongoing acts of personal freedom the text outlines various ways in which these dual aspects are more ally than enemy. It also demonstrates how the ongoing free choices that are required for genuine faith are not absolute but are in fact contextualized and conditioned by genetic makeup environmental conditioning and present character traits produced in part by a person’s past choices. Despite this caveat personal freedom is presented as genuine and real with a vitally important role to play in a person’s religiosity. The book concludes with some observations of this process in practice in the author’s own journey from a Christian theist worldview to that of a religious naturalist. This is a fascinating treatise on the role of personal freedom in religious faith. It will therefore be of significant interest to scholars of religion theology philosophy of religion and religious naturalism. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367590406

Faith and LogicOxford Essays in Philosophical Theology When this book was originally published in 1957 there had been lively debates on the air and in the press about the bearing of modern philosophy upon Christianity but there had been relatively little sustained discussion of the subject. This book of essays was the product of a small group of Oxford philosophers and theologians who had met and talked informally for some years before writing it. It is an attempt to discuss with care and candour some of the problems raised for Christian belief by contemporary analytical philosophy. In asking the questions raised this book makes articulate the perplexities of many intelligent people both believers and unbelievers. The contributors concentrate on the way such concepts as God Revelation the Soul Grace are actually used rather than asserting or denying some very general theory of meaning.

Faith and Philosophical AnalysisThe Impact of Analytical Philosophy on the Philosophy of Religion What tensions arise between philosophy of religion and theology? What strengths and weaknesses of analytical methods emerge in relation to strongly confessional philosophical theologies or to Continental philosophies? Faith and Philosophical Analysis evaluates how well philosophy of religion serves in understanding religious faith. Figures who rarely share the space of the same book - leading exponents of analytic philosophy of religion and those who question its legacy - are drawn together in this book with their disagreements harnessed to positive effect. Figures such as Richard Swinburne and Basil Mitchell reflect on their life-long projects from a perspective which has not previously been seen in print. A wide range of approaches found in contemporary philosophy of religion are explored including: reformed epistemology 'traditional' metaphysical theory building feminist methodologies Wittgensteinian approaches and American pragmatism. Considering the trends in philosophy of religion as they are interacting across continents looking particularly at philosophical influences in North America Britain and Continental Europe this book will appeal to students scholars and general readers with an interest in philosophy of religion theology or analytical philosophy.

Faith and Philosophical Enquiry The concern of this book is the nature of religious belief and the ways in which philosophical enquiry is related to it. Six chapters present the positive arguments the author wishes to put forward to discusses religion and rationality scepticism about religion language-games belief and the loss of belief. The remaining chapters include criticisms of some contemporary philosophers of religion in the light of the earlier discussions and the implications for more specific topics such as religious education are investigated. The book ends with a general attempt to say something about the character of philosophical enquiry and to show how important it is to realise this character in the philosophy of religion.

Faith and PhilosophyThe Historical Impact This title was first published in 2003. This work examines how Christian faith has historically impacted the notion of Nous or divine mind in Western thought up to and including the present. Christian faith is seen to have inaugurated an essential transformation over time of the ancient notion of divine mind and of thought in general. Beginning with an examination of Aristotle's notion of essence Plato's creation myth in the "Timaeus" and Plotinus' "One" it is shown how faith in the hands of Augustine and Aquinas fundamentally reshaped Western thought and made possible in the modern period the radical subjectivity of Descartes brought to perfection by Kant and Hegel. The strenuous counter-thinking of Kierkegaard Nietzsche and Levinas is closely compared to its disarming alternative the thinking of Jefferson Emerson and C.S. Peirce the father of American pragmatism. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138724983

Faith and Secularisation in Religious Colleges and Universities This book is a detailed study of higher education institutions affiliated to particular religions. It considers the debates surrounding academic freedom institutional governance educational policy mission and identity together with institutions’ relations with the state and their wider communities. A wide range of institutions are examined including: Christian Islamic and Jewish universities in the US Europe and the Middle East. Essentially this volume questions whether such institutions can be both religious and a ‘university’ and also considers the appropriate role of religious faith within colleges and universities.

Faith in FilmReligious Themes in Contemporary Cinema How plausible is it to examine the medium of film through a Christian lens? Are there any grounds for supposing that in 'going to the movies' one is participating in a religious activity? Faith in Film identifies and explores these key questions. From the unprecedented and innovative perspective of Christian theology this book investigates how cinema audiences wrestle with religious beliefs and values. Through a reading of films as diverse as Groundhog Day Billy Liar Fight Club Nobody's Fool and The Passion of the Christ Deacy reveals that the movies raise vital questions about the spiritual landscape and normative values of western society today.

Faith in FreedomLibertarian Principles and Psychiatric Practices The libertarian philosophy of freedom is characterized by two fundamental beliefs: the right to be left alone and the duty to leave others alone. Psychiatric practice routinely violates both of these beliefs. It is based on the notion that self-ownership—exemplified by suicide—is a not an inherent right but a privilege subject to the review of psychiatrists as representatives of society. In Faith in Freedom Thomas Szasz raises fundamental questions about psychiatric practices that inhibit an individual's right to freedom.His questions are fundamental. Is suicide an exercise of rightful self-ownership or a manifestation of mental disorder? Does involuntary confinement under psychiatric auspices constitute unjust imprisonment or is it therapeutically justified hospitalization? Should forced psychiatric drugging be interpreted as assault and battery on the person or is it medical treatment?The ethical standards of psychiatric practice mandate that psychiatrists employ coercion. Forgoing such "intervention" is considered a dereliction of the psychiatrists' "duty to protect." How should friends of freedom—especially libertarians—deal with the conflict between elementary libertarian principles and prevailing psychiatric practices? In Faith in Freedom Thomas Szasz addresses this question more directly and more profoundly than in any of his previous works. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781412855778

Faith in HeritageDisplacement Development and Religious Tourism in Contemporary China Using the example of China’s Wutai Shan—recently designated both a UNESCO World Heritage site and a national park—Robert J. Shepherd analyzes Chinese applications of western notions of heritage management within a non-western framework. What does the concept of world heritage mean for a site practically unheard of outside of China visited almost exclusively by Buddhist religious pilgrims? What does heritage preservation mean for a site whose intrinsic value isn’t in its historic buildings or cultural significance but for its sacredness within the Buddhist faith? How does a society navigate these issues particularly one where open religious expression has only recently become acceptable? These questions and more are explored in this book perfect for students and practitioners of heritage management looking for a new perspective. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781611320749

Faith in HonestyThe Essential Nature of Theology How if at all is religious faith 'true'? The starting point for this book is that traditional Christian theology overvalues the importance of 'correctness'. What really counts far more is 'Honesty'. Not just sincerity or frankness but Honesty in the sense of a sheer openness to the Other. A set of skills Andrew Shanks argues which the church has very much still to learn. True faith in God is faith in Honesty. But theological Honesty has three faces. It stands equally opposed to banality manipulation the mere disowning of history. This book thus presents a whole new approach to the doctrine of the Trinity. A fresh stimulus to theological debate at academic student and more popular levels.

Faith in Science There is growing academic interest in addressing the relationship of religion and science. There are also very generous funding sources that encourage scientists to demonstrate the reality of purpose in the world. Still there are organizations offering support to community groups dedicated to discussing religion and science. Contributors explore this development in Faith in Science. The intellectual initiatives analyzed here seem far removed from the deep religious and cultural divisions that dominate the contemporary geopolitical landscape. This emerging industry however originates in a cultural debate that set the evolutionary view of Nature against revelation's conception of Nature as the fulfillment of God's creation. The two worldviews are hopelessly mismatched although scientific creationism purports to have uncovered scriptural evidence that invites another look. Along the way the imposition of theological themes onto the geological record became a tendency for many naturalists. Peter Medawar's scathing review of Teilhard de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man in 1961 remains as a warning for those who mix Darwinian orthodoxy and theological parlance. The challenge Medawar would have us believe is not to abandon the exacting methods and logic of science in favor of a poetic dream of how consciousness is a manifestation of energy. But does this mean that science and religion are only methodologically demarcated? Must we insist on the traditional boundaries instituted by scientific conventions and religious beliefs? From various historical religious and scientific vantage points contributors to this volume who include Guy Consolmagno Donald Kraybill David Ray Griffin Gerald L. Schroeder Robert Pollack Robert Pennock Carol Wayne Wright Bill Durbin Kathleen Duffy and Anthony Matteo take up these challenges. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523357

Faith Without DogmaIn Quest of Meaning Life is a constant search for meaning and reflective minds need to find deeper and more comprehensive meaning than that normally proffered by the orthodox teaching of any creedal religion. When this book was initially published in 1964 religion had begun to recognize the importance of psychology and psychology had considered a spiritual principle in man. Miss Isherwood’s purpose in writing this book is to relate science and religion more closely. Her theme is that the evolution of consciousness from protozoa provides a link which not only gives grounds for faith in life and an inspiration for carrying development forward but which reveals that as we continuously work at deepening our insight into the realms of spirit the life process appears to us as steadily more meaningful. Her engaging writing style makes this a fascinating glimpse at a philosophy of religion starting to engage with science. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138990906

Faith without DogmaPlace of Religion in Postmodern Societies We live in a time of high Church membership but low Church attendance. Franco Ferrarotti arguably the most important sociologist of religion alive captures the source of this paradox In the title of his new book Faith without Dogma. For it is belief that propels membership while the absence of dogma results in a reticence to accept hierarchical direction from above or beyond.Basing much of his analysis on the postwar struggles within Roman Catholicism Ferrarotti views the demand for religious renewal and revival as part and parcel of the emergence of broad social agendas agendas to which not even the Roman curia could remain impervious. The former easy relationships between Church and State especially authoritarian states in Europe and Latin America gave way to a critical defense of individual rights within a context of a broadened vision of Christian doctrine.In addition to issues Involved in internal affairs of religion Ferrarotti explores a series of developments that have changed for all time the nature of Church survival. The critical element one that goes beyond specific doctrinal accommodations is the new primary connection of Church to people rather than Church to State. This came about through the widespread acceptance of science and technology as frames of intellectual reference the emergence of secularization as mediating religious claims and the creation from the Enlightenment to the Postmodern eras of "civil religions."The volume concludes with a set of chapters on the nature of sacred events and objects the emergence of new varieties of prayer and concludes with a chapter on the relationship of ideology to theology prepared especially for the English language edition of Faith without Dogma. This is a book likely to attract a broad audience among religionists and culturologists as well as social scientists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138510005

Faith-Based Initiatives and Aging Services Gain an understanding of the increased role religious congregations now play in providing social support to the elderlyReligious congregations and faith-based organizations (FBO) from the Jewish Christian and Islamic traditions have worked on behalf of older adults for centuries. But the initiation of President Bush’s Office of Faith-Based Initiatives has raised many questions from both the traditional secular and sectarian services as well as many nontraditional services found in each community. Faith-Based Initiatives and Aging Services addresses the issues of the separation of church and state the concerns involved in developing social services in religious congregations and the larger public policy implications of this office. This unique book offers perspectives from traditional and nontraditional faith-based groups as well as experts in volunteerism.The enactment by Congress of the Charitable Choice section of the federal welfare reform law combined with the creation of the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in the United States Department of Health and Human Services to signal a high-level of interest in supporting faith-based organizations. Faith-Based Initiatives and Aging Services focuses on the specific applications of services provided by religious congregations. Editors F. Ellen Netting and James W. Ellor conducted an in-depth interview with Elizabeth Seal-Scott then Director of the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (an edited transcript of the interview is included in the book) to help promote understanding of the development and implementation of faith-based grass roots programs.Faith-Based Initiatives and Aging Services examines: the separation of church and state Baptist perspectives on faith-based initiatives and religious liberty managing older volunteers faith organizations and ethnically diverse elders the heritage of religion and spirituality in the field of gerontology faith-related agencies and their implications for aging services the role of religious congregations in the social service systemFaith-Based Initiatives and Aging Services is an essential resource for anyone interested in developing programs for older adults in religious congregations for human services staffs seeking to work with faith-based initiatives and for government workers in need of a better understanding of faith-based services in their community.

Faith-Based Organizations in Development Discourses and Practice Exploring faith-based organizations (FBOs) in current developmental discourses and practice this book presents a selection of empirical in-depth case-studies of Christian FBOs and assesses the vital role credited to FBOs in current discourses on development. Examining the engagement of FBOs with contemporary politics of development the contributions stress the agency of FBOs in diverse contexts of development policy both local and global. It is emphasised that FBOs constitute boundary agents and developmental entrepreneurs: they move between different discursive fields such as national and international development discourses theological discourses and their specific religious constituencies. By combining influxes from these different contexts FBOs generate unique perspectives on development: they express alternative views on development and stress particular approaches anchored in their theological social ethics. This book should be of interest to those researching FBOs and their interaction with international organizations and to scholars working in the broader areas of religion and politics and politics and development.

Faithful PerformancesEnacting Christian Tradition The metaphor of performance has been applied fruitfully by anthropologists and other social theorists to different aspects of human social existence and furnishes a potentially helpful model in terms of which to think theologically about Christian life. After an introductory editorial chapter reflecting on the nature of artistic performance and its relationship to the notions of tradition and identity Part One of this book attends specifically to the phenomenon of dramatic performance and possible theological applications of it. Part Two considers various aspects of the performance of Christian identity looking at worship the interpretation of the Bible Christian response to elements in the contemporary media the shape of Christian moral life and ending with a theological reflection on the shape of personal identity correlating it with the theatrical metaphors of 'character' and 'performing a part' in a scripted drama. Part Three demonstrates how art forms (including some technically non-performative ones - literature poetry painting) may constitute faithful Christian practices in which the tradition is authentically 'performed' producing works which break open its meaning in profound new ways for a constantly shifting context.

Fake Fact and FantasyChildren's Interpretations of Television Reality Based on a study examining the meaning of the term "media literacy" in children this volume concentrates on audiovisual narratives of television and film and their effects. It closely examines children's concepts of real and unreal and how they learn to make distinctions between the two. It also explores the idea that children are protected from the harmful effects of violence on television by the knowledge that what they see is not real. This volume is unique in its use of children's own words to explore their awareness of the submerged conventions of television genres of their functions and effects of their relationship to the real world and of how this awareness varies with age and other factors. Based on detailed questionnaire data and conversations with 6 to 11-year-old children carried out with the support of a fellowship at the Annenberg School for Communication University of Pennsylvania the book eloquently demonstrates how children use their knowledge of real life of literature and of art in intelligently evaluating the relationship between television's formats and the real world in which they live.

Falangist and National Catholic Women in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939 Although there is an established historiography on women’s roles during the Spanish Civil War (1936-9) little has been written on Nationalist women in the Republican-held zones. Women were the anti-Republican resisters of the first hour in the capital but they have been largely overlooked in the historical record.　 During the bitter civil conflict a sector of dissident women helped to create a subversive and clandestine national Catholic space in the heart of Republican Madrid. By examining the vital and invisible role played by women within Madrid’s ‘fifth column’ this monograph offers a new contribution to the gender historiography of the Spanish Civil War and re-evaluates the significance of women in the Nationalist war effort. It explores how and why a sector of Falangist and Catholic women decided to mobilise against the legally constituted Popular Front government in support of an undemocratic military coup. While women’s subversive activities often involved the transgression of traditional gender norms their social and political agency arose within the conditions and precepts of Catholicism and was conceptualised and imagined within new national-Catholic discourses of ‘holy Crusade.’ Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367146740

Fall NarrativesAn Interdisciplinary Perspective Throughout history the motif of ‘the Fall’ has impacted upon our understanding of theology and philosophy and has had an influence on everything from literature to dance. Fall Narratives brings together theologians historians and artists as well as philosophers and scholars of religion and literature to explore and reflect on a wide range of concepts of the Fall. Bringing a fresh understanding of the nuanced meanings of the Fall and its various manifestations over time and across space contributions reflect on the ways in which the Fall can be seen as a transition into absence; how conceptions of the Fall relate to change and shape one another; and how the Fall can be seen positively embracing as it does a narrative of hope.

Fall Prevention Through Design in ConstructionThe Benefits of Mobile Computing The role of designers has traditionally been to design a building so that it conforms to accepted local building codes. The safety of workers is left up to the contractor building the designs. Research shows however that designers can have an especially strong influence on construction safety during the concept preliminary and detailed design phases. This book establishes the new knowledge and conceptual frameworks necessary to develop a mobile computing-enabled knowledge management system that can help reduce the high rate of construction falls. There are three main objectives of this book:1. To create a new Prevention through Design (PtD) knowledge base to model the relationships between fall risks and design decisions; 2. To develop a PtD mobile App to assist building designers in fall prevention through design; 3. To evaluate the practical implications of the PtD mobile App for the construction industry especially for building designers and workers. The cutting edge technologies explored in this book have the potential to significantly reduce the rate of serious injuries that occur in the global construction industry. This is essential reading for researchers and advanced students of construction management with an interest in safety or mobile technologies.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367738167

Fallacy of Silver Age In this study Ronen critically examines the term "Silver Age" which over the years has gained such wide currency among historians and connoisseurs of 20th century Russian culture. The author traces the origin and the controversial development of what he condemns as an influential misnomer. Ronen sets out to debunk the myth that attributes invention of the term to Nikolai Berdiaev and in turn traces this widely used catchword in the critical idiom from an abscure avante-garde manifesto to the present day. He lays to rest the use of the term which he sees as the most misleading constituent of Russia's contemporary cultural self-awareness and self-assessment.

Fallen Soviet GeneralsSoviet General Officers Killed in Battle 1941-1945 No war has caused greater human suffering than the Second World War on Germany's Eastern Front. Victory in the war cost the Red Army over 29 million casualties whose collective fate is only now being properly documented. Among the many millions of soldiers who made up that gruesome toll were an unprecedented number of Red Army general officers. Many of these perished on the battlefield or in prison camps at the hands of their German tormentors. Others fell victim to equally terrifying Stalinist repression. Together these generals personify the faceless nature of the war of the Eastern Front - the legions of forgotten souls who perished in the war. Covered up for decades the saga of these victims of war can now be told and in this volume A A Maslov begins the difficult process of memorializing these warrior casualties. Using formerly secret Soviet archival materials and personal interviews with the families of the officers he painstakingly documents the fate of Red Army generals who fell victim to wartime enemy action.

Fallen WallsPrisoners of Conscience in South Africa and Czechoslovakia This collection of prison writings straddles two continents and compares and contrasts the political struggles that gave birth to two vibrant new democracies of the twenty-first century: South Africa and the Czech Republic. The triumph over decades of suffering endured by the ordinary citizens of these two countries is symbolized by their leaders Nelson Mandela and Vaclav Havel.While the moral stature of these two men continues to act as a beacon for other political aspirants in a new century they call upon us all to acknowledge the role played by ordinary men and women in effecting freedom and justice. For this reason Fallen Walls focuses on the experiences of ordinary prisoners of conscience. It records three voices from the apartheid-era cells of Robben Island--Joseph Mati Johnson Mgabela Monde Mkunqwana--and three voices from communist-era prisons in Czechoslovakia--Jiri Mesicki Lola Skodova and Jiri Stransky. There are striking similarities as well as differences between the two sets of stories. On a personal level the tales from Robben Island are characterized by an absence of bitterness and thoughts of revenge while a sense of bleak isolation and lingering bitterness pervades accounts from the Czechoslovakian prisons and labor camps. The buoyant tone of triumph of the South Africans is balanced by the darker more skeptical mood of the Czechs. In an age that teeters so precariously between hope and despair the narratives of these six prisoners of conscience remind us not only of what we are but also of what we may become.In a timely warning against complacency Vaclav Havel notes in his foreword that "the authors remind us anew of the price that is so often paid for freedom and democracy." Fallen Walls will be of interest to historians sociologists human rights activists and political scientists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138510012

False and Distorted Memories Our memories shape how we think about the past how we plan for the future and how we think about ourselves. Yet our memories are also constantly being reinvented: we often remember our experiences differently from how they truly happened and can even remember experiences that never happened at all. 　 False and Distorted Memories provides an overview of recent and ongoing developments in the science of false memory. World-leading researchers unpick questions about flawed recollections discussing issues as varied as the reliability of highly emotional memories why we sometimes begin to remember fictional experiences that we have deliberately fabricated and what happens when we stop believing our memories. Each chapter demonstrates how memory science has furthered our understanding of these important questions by exploring theoretical ideas and psychological research methods that underpin their investigations. 　 Edited by Robert Nash and James Ost this volume offers an international and up-to-date perspective on false and distorted memories. The volume also draws attention to the broad range of real-life contexts in which such distortions might arise and their potential consequences. False and Distorted Memories illustrates the ease with which memory can be contaminated and the power of the resulting memory errors providing an integral text for researchers and students interested in the psychology of memory.

False Belief and the Meno Paradox Published in 1998 the philosophical concern of this book is epistemological in kind. It involves understanding the Socratic elentic method and how its structure introduces an important epistemological problem which is first raised in the "Meno" dialogue as a paradox. This paradox named the Meno paradox raises the problem of falsehood. Specifically the impossibility of falsehood. The "Theaetetus" dialogue is then analyzed in terms of how falsehood is there set up as a clearly epistemological problem. The "Sophist" dialogue is in turn discussed as offering a response to the problem of falsehood by revising it as a problem for semantics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138625365

False Bodies True SelvesMoving Beyond Appearance-Focused Identity Struggles and Returning to the True Self False Bodies True Selves explores the phenomenon of growing numbers of people in western society and beyond completely embedding their sense of identity in their appearance. Unlike other books which address either theoretical models of appearance-focused identity struggles or explore lived experiences of appearance-based battles False Bodies delves into both. Importantly the spiritual aspects of what it is to become enemies with one's body are given centre stage in the context of Donald Winnicott's theory of the true Self and the false Self. The book begins by looking at some of the myths superstitions and fairy tales related to mirrors before moving on to western society's current obsession with appearance which seems to have been compounded by the mass media. After looking at some of the most common manifestations of appearance-focused anguish including eating disorders and body dysmorphia it begins to unpick the possible underlying meanings beneath such struggles with a particular emphasis on issues of a systemic nature.

False ConsciousnessAn Essay on Mystification In this book Guenter Lewy explains and critiques the idea of false consciousness - that people living under capitalism do not know their best interests. This idea was prevalent in the writings of nineteenth century Marxism modern communism and the New Left. Lewy applies what German scholars call Ideologiekritik to the Marxian concept of ideology or false consciousness itself to demystify the concept of mystification. He also presents an account of the historical development of the concept and the dangers of its application in society.  Belief in false consciousness inspired many social scientists to propose that elite classes in capitalist countries use the media and the education system to manipulate the proletariat thus perpetuating their own power. Lewy marshals social scientific evidence to refute that idea demonstrating that education and the mass media in the United States in fact often challenge accepted values and the status quo.  Lewy documents Soviet and Chinese brainwashing efforts to eradicate dangerous political ideas and values derived from a belief in false consciousness. He also reviews attempts by Marxist and neo-Marxist educators and social scientists in the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) to free young people from false consciousness by means of emancipatory pedagogy--a program of intense political indoctrination.

False-memory Creation in Children and AdultsTheory Research and Implications As one of the most hotly debated topics of the past decade false memory has attracted the interest of researchers and practitioners in many of psychology's subdisciplines. Real-world issues surrounding the credibility of memories (particularly memories of traumatic events such as sexual abuse) reported by both children and adults have been at the center of this debate. Were the adults actually retrieving repressed memories under the careful direction of psychotherapists or were the memories being "created" by repeated suggestion? Were children telling investigators about events that actually happened or were the interviewing techniques used to get at unpleasant experiences serving to implant memories that eventually became their own? There is evidence in the psychological research literature to support both sides and the potential impact on individuals families and society as a whole has been profound. This book is an attempt to cut through the undergrowth and get at the truth of the "recovered memory/false-memory creation" puzzle. The contributors review seminal work from their own research programs and provide theory and critical evaluation of existing research that is necessary to translate theory into practice. The book will be of great value to basic and applied memory researchers clinical and social psychologists and other professionals working within the helping and legal professions.

Fame One of the most distinctive cultural phenomena of recent years has been the rise and rise of fame. In this book Mark Rowlands argues that our obsession with fame has transformed it. Fame was once associated with excellence or achievement in some or other field of endeavour. But today we are obsessed with something that is in effect quite different: fame unconnected with any discernible distinction fame that allows a person to be famous simply for being famous. This book shows why this new fame is simultaneously fascinating and worthless. To understand this new form of fame Rowlands maintains we have to engage in an extensive philosophical excavation that takes us back to a dispute that began in ancient Greece between Plato and Protagoras and was carried on in a remarkable philosophical experiment that began in eighteenth-century France. Somewhat like contestants on a reality TV show today we find ourselves unwittingly playing out the consequences of this experiment. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138161108

Families In 'Families' Jane Howard informally visits many dozens of families and tries to discover what makes the best ones work so well. Families are not dying she finds although they are evolving in various ways. From the tightest-knit nuclear family or extended clan to the most fragile new commune the family in one guise or another remains everybody's most basic hold on reality. We may run away from our families as many do but no sooner do we escape than we find another one often very much like it. Sympathetically with immense thrust she crosses the continent to discover families' myths jokes and rituals. She leafs through their scrapbooks sits on their porches and takes part when she can in their feasts and celebrations. She talks to a father of eighteen several double first cousins stepchildren multiple godmothers an honorary relative of an Indian tribe and a nine-year-old boy who has no family but his mother. She sits with a matriarch on the front stoop of a ghetto house goes camping with a family in Mexico has Thanksgiving with another in Iowa and orders pizza with a Greek clan in Massachusetts. Howard reports on visits to conventional Southern and Jewish households and to innovative ones whose members lacking a common history plan on building common futures as if water were after all as thick as blood. She examines the notion that "there are ways and ways of achieving kinship of which birth and marriage are only the most obvious." Millions of clans and families all over the United States continue to celebrate quarrel disband reunite and endure. Jane Howard makes us realize how our lives are interwoven both with the families we are born into and with those we invent as we go through life. 'Families' is compassionate provocative and profound. The paperback edition of this important work will be essential reading for all those with an interest in the study of familial bonds particularly sociologists anthropologists and psychologists.

Families Imprisonment and LegitimacyThe Cost of Custodial Penalties This book examines what it means to be a family within the restrictive disruptive and often distressing context of imprisonment. Drawing on original qualitative data it looks beyond traditional models of the family to examine the question of which relationships matter to individuals affected by imprisonment and demonstrates how family relationships are actively constructed and maintained through family "practices" and "displays" such as visits shared experiences and continuing family memories and traditions. It sheds new light not only on the true extent of who is impacted by the imposition of a prison sentence but also the barriers to family life that these individuals encounter throughout its duration.This book also contributes to our understanding of wider issues such as poverty and social marginalisation the role of family relationships on desistance from crime and legitimacy. It argues that the act of supporting an individual in custody can bring families into regular contact with the criminal justice system in ways that can be both distressing and problematic and therefore contends that the prison system should minimise the damage caused by imprisonment not only to family relationships but also to the perceived legitimacy of the criminal justice system.Generating new conceptual insights into the harms of imprisonment and how perceptions of legitimacy and fairness are shaped by the criminal justice system this book will be of much interest to students of criminology and sociology engaged in studies of criminal justice prisons gender social work and punishment. It will also be of interest to policy makers penal-reformers and activists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138329348

Families Labour and LoveFamily diversity in a changing world We think of our family life as very personal but in fact it is shaped by influences well beyond our control. Families Labour and Love identifies the ways in which family and personal life in three 'settler' societies - Australia New Zealand and Canada - has been shaped by colonisation immigration globalisation demographic changes law and policy.Baker shows that these three countries each a former colony developed similar family trends and similar family policies. Strongly gendered patterns of paid and unpaid work played a major role in family life. The family practices of indigenous people were largely overlooked as were those of recent immigrant groups. However local conditions also produced significant differences in family experiences among the three countries.Richly illustrated with examples comparative data and textual sources Families Labour and Love provides a broad-ranging analysis of the family which will appeal to students researchers and policy-makers.Maureen Baker outlines with great clarity the diversity of families and the way in which they are shaped by historical and cultural forces. The focus on Australia New Zealand and Canada is not only refreshing but throws into sharp relief the impact on contemporary families of the colonial experience industrialisation large scale immigration and globalisation.David de Vaus La Trobe University Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781003115588

Families Marriages and Children Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) was a pioneering sociologist feminist pragmatist author and lecturer. A skilled and perceptive writer she explained sociological concepts and principles clearly and concisely to popular audiences. This volume presents a focused and provocative set of Gilman's penetrating analyses of marriage motherhood and family relationships. Generally unavailable except in archives and special libraries the lion's share of the analyses are drawn directly from Gilman's quintessentially unique self-published journal The Forerunner.Transcending her era Gilman speaks with wit insight and candor to twenty-first century readers about many controversial aspects of family and family life. She believes deeply that women's values regeneration cooperation and compassion make for better societies. Men's values she concludes are destructive competitive and often violent. Families produce double standards and inequalities between husbands and wives resulting in inferior mothers and as a direct consequence in substandard children. To improve society Gilman argues we need healthy happy children. This requires well-trained competent mothers widespread social parenting and enlightened non-patriarchal marriages.Largely self-taught Gilman supported herself through writing and lecturing. She was at one time a settlement house leader and an active member of the American Sociological Society. Her wide sociological circle included lasting friendships with Jane Addams Edward A. Ross and Lester F. Ward. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138510036

Families Risk and Competence The problems of studying families arise from the difficulty in studying systems where there are multiple elements interacting with each other and with the child. How should this system be described? Still other problems relate to indirect effects; namely the influence of a particular dyad's interaction on the child when the child is not a member of the dyad. While all agree that the mother-father relationship has important bearing on the child's development exactly how to study this--especially using observational techniques--remains a problem. While progress in studying the family has been slow there is no question that an increase in interest in the family systems as opposed to the mother-child relationship is taking place. This has resulted in an increase in research on families and their effects. This volume by leading figures in child development on families attests to the growing sophistication of the conceptualization and measurement techniques for getting at family processes. The third in a series that aims to address topics relevant to the developmental problems and developmental disabilities of retardation this volume is divided into two parts. Section 1 presents basic family processes and approaches for describing family dynamics. It deals with these issues from a broad perspective including studying families at dinner families in different cultural contexts and the understanding of family in nonhuman primates. Section 2 looks at family processes in the service of studying families at-risk. The risk factors include poverty malnutrition and developmental delay and retardation. The study of family processes in these contexts provides data on family dynamics as well as how these dynamics impact on the children's developing competence. This volume will be informative for researchers clinicians and educators from a variety of disciplines and settings. The editors' aim is to bring a greater clarity to issues concerning the family life of children and highlight new research and possibilities for intervention.

Families of the MissingA Test for Contemporary Approaches to Transitional Justice Families of the Missing interrogates the current practice of transitional justice from the viewpoint of the families of those disappeared and missing as a result of conflict and political violence. Studying the needs of families of the missing in two contexts Nepal and Timor-Leste the practice of transitional justice is seen to be rooted in discourses that are alien to predominantly poor and rural victims of violence and that are driven by elites with agendas that diverge from those of the victims. In contrast to the legalist orientation of the global transitional justice project victims do not see judicial process as a priority. Rather they urgently seek an answer concerning the fate of the missing and to retrieve human remains. As important are livelihood issues where families are struggling to cope with the loss of breadwinners and seek support to ensure economic security. Although rights are the product of a discourse that claims to be global and universal needs are necessarily local and particular the product of culture and context. And it is from this perspective that Families of the Missing seeks both to understand the limitations of transitional justice processes in addressing the priorities of victims and to provide the basis of an emancipatory victim-centred approach to transitional justice.

Families ShamedThe Consequences of Crime for Relatives of Serious Offenders This book examines the experiences of relatives of those accused or convicted of serious crimes such as murder manslaughter rape and sex offences. A broader literature exists on prisoners' families but few studies have looked specifically at those related to serious offenders or considered their experience other than as prison visitors. Many of the difficulties faced by 'mundane' prisoners' families are magnified for the relatives of serious offenders first by the length of sentence and secondly by the seriousness and stigmatizing impact through association of the offence itself. Families Shamed draws upon intense qualitative research which combines long searching interviews with the relatives of serious offenders with ethnographic fieldwork over a period of several years. The book focuses on how relatives made sense of their experiences individually and collectively: how they described the difficulties they faced; whether they were blamed and shamed and in what manner; how they understood the offence and the circumstances which had brought it about; and how they dealt with the contradiction inherent in supporting someone and yet not condoning his or her actions. This is the first book to tell the story of serious offenders' families the difficulties they face and their attempts to overcome them. At the same time a focus on offenders' families also draws our attention to the ways in which women are affected by crime illuminating the broader effects of crime and the criminal justice process on the proportionately greater number of women involved. It contributes also to wider debates about the social organization of the meanings of crime and questions the tenability of some core policy assumptions about offenders and their families; the relationship between the state and the family and its bearing especially on expectations about family responsibilities.

Families Under StressA Psychological Interpretation The family is perhaps the most important single institution in everyone’s life. What happens in such an intense group? How does it develop over time? What happens when stress is placed upon it whether generated from inside or outside the family? Originally published in 1975 when the late Tony Manocchio was one of the leading practitioners of family therapy in Britain and Scandinavia this title written with his colleague William Petitt is a lively study of communication within families revealing the universal problems common to all. The authors demonstrate and illuminate the application of communication principles by analysing healthy and ‘unhealthy’ family systems in six major plays – The Winslow Boy Riders to the Sea Hamlet A Long Day’s Journey into Night Death of a Salesman and A Delicate Balance. As part of this analysis they examine the difficulties family members have in allowing for differences in sharing secrets and the ease with which a whole family can scapegoat a single member. They give a number of short case histories and examples from other plays which further illustrate the importance of communicating clearly. The book will still be of value to all those interested in the uses of family therapy and also to students of literature for the human insight it offers into the texts discussed.

Families without FathersFatherhood Marriage and Children in American Society <p>The American family is changing. Divorce single parents and stepfamilies are redefi ning the ways we live together and raise our children. Many "experts" feel these seemingly inevitable changes should be celebrated; they claim that the "new" families which often lack a strong father are actually healthier than traditional two-parent families—or at the very least do children no harm. But as David Popenoe shows in <em>Families Without Fathers</em> this optimistic view is severely misguided. </p><p>Examining evidence from social and behavioral science history and evolutionary biology Popenoe shows why fathers today are deserting their families in record numbers. The disintegration of the child-centered two parent family—especially in the inner cities where as many as two in three children are growing up without their fathers—and the weakening commitment of fathers to their children that more and more follows divorce are central causes of many of our worst individual and social problems. Juvenile delinquency drug and alcohol abuse teenage pregnancy welfare dependency and child poverty can be directly traced to fathers' lack of involvement in their children's lives. </p><p>Our situation will only get worse Popenoe warns unless men are willing to renew their commitment to their marriages and to their children. Yet he is not just an alarmist. He suggests concrete policies and new ways of thinking and acting that will help all fathers improve their marriages and family lives and tells us what we as individuals and as a society can do to support and strengthen the most important thing a man can do.</p> Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523388

FamiliesIntergenerational and Generational Connections This special volume is devoted to the synthesis and review of theoretical and conceptual approaches associated with familial and non-familial connections across the life span. An important book as society “returns to the family ” it compares and contrasts different disciplinary perspectives associated with intergenerational relationships. Because intergenerational relationships have been the focus of research in many disciplines various perspectives have emerged about kin and non-kin connections. Renewed interest in families and familial connections is due largely to events and situations occurring in complex modernized societies which place the intergenerational nexus on center stage. The leading researchers represented in this outstanding book provide rare opportunity for the scholarly comparison of the various perspectives in the broader spectrum of family relations.Families: Intergenerational and Generational Connecting is a significant addition to the body of research on family connections. The three major areas of generational and intergenerational connections include theoretical and conceptual perspectives connections within the family and connections outside the family. As the use of families as support networks for individual members increases this timely book will be an invaluable aid to educators students and researchers concerned about families and familial and non-familial relationships. Counselors and therapists will value this enlightening book with its diverse theoretical and conceptual perspectives on kinship intergenerational solidarity and relations social supports and cross-national perspectives on family connections.

FamiliesJoys Conflicts and Changes Unlike other family textbooks that mostly emphasize conflicts and problems this book also features the joys and pleasures of family living and its mutually nourishing qualities. Its perspective reflects polls surveys and student essays indicating that most people value their families. Families everywhere provide love support and sustenance to their members but they do so in many different arrangements.Understanding the wide variety of families historically and across cultures gives the student a better basis for understanding how families change and a better grasp of more controversial changes such as the gradual acceptance by Westerners of same-sex marriage and child-rearing by single people. Liazos offers two poignant chapters not found in other texts. Family Living (Chapter Six) focuses on the social value of caregiving and family meals.

Family Citizenship and IslamThe Changing Experiences of Migrant Women Ageing in London A longitudinal intersectional study of migrant women this book examines the lives of first generation Bangladeshi migrants to the UK considering the dynamic relationship between people and place. Shedding new light on a migrant population about which little is known the author explores the experiences of women who left rural homes to live in London speaking no English with no experience of local customs and having to adjust to what would now be dramatically shrunken family sizes within which they would act as bearers of culture and tradition. Based on research spanning a decade Family Citizenship and Islam draws on qualitative interviews with over 100 women and examines questions of identity belonging citizenship and Britishness religion ageing care and the family. With attention to the fluidity of the experiences of the first generation of migration women the book offers an alternative to much ethnographic research which often offers only a 'snapshot' of a particular minority or migrant group as fixed and preserved in time. As such Family Citizenship and Islam will appeal to scholars of sociology geography and anthropology with interests in migration and diaspora citizenship gender religion family and the lifecourse and the ways in which these different aspects of a person's life come together to shape lived experience.

Family Gender and Kinship in AustraliaThe Social and Cultural Logic of Practice and Subjectivity This ethnographically-based exploration draws on sociological historical and demographic data to provide a comprehensive analysis of family gender and kinship in Australia which informs modern kinship and gender at large. Allon Uhlmann charts the cultural basis that underlies kinship practices and argues that the Australian family is characterized by deep cultural and social continuities rather than the common view that the family is undergoing substantial change. He further shows how the modern family both shapes and is shaped by broad social and economic processes. This analysis provides greater insight into this critical field of practice as well as showcasing a novel analytical approach to practice that is rooted in the sociology of practice and in the anthropology of cognition. The book also suggests changes to the way in which social scientists currently treat family and kinship. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138264397

Family Intergenerational Solidarity and Post-Traditional Society Almost all families will at some time have to make difficult decisions concerning aging family members involving institutionalization moving from medical interventions to palliative care and even physician-assisted death. Yet the historical transition from traditional to post-traditional society means that these decisions are no longer determined by strict rules and norms and the growing role of the welfare state has been accompanied by changes in the nature of family and social solidarity. Advances in medical technology and greatly expanded life spans further complicate the decision-making process. Family Intergenerational Solidarity and Post-Traditional Society examines a range of difficult issues that families commonly face during the family life course within these contexts. The book explores both practical and ethical questions regarding filial responsibility and the roles of the state and adult children in providing financial and instrumental support to dependent parents. The book follows the experiences and deliberations of a fictional family through a series of vignettes in which its members must make difficult decisions about the treatment of a seriously ill parent. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in family studies gerontology/aging sociology social work health and social care and nursing will find this essential reading.

Family Religion and LawCultural Encounters in Europe This collection discusses how official legal systems do and should respond to the reality of a plurality of family types and origins within their jurisdictions. It further examines the challenges that arise for practitioners including lawyers and judges when faced with such plurality. Focussing on empirical research the volume presents legal and sociological data of unprecedented comparative depth. It also includes a discussion of how members of minority families respond to the need to organise their legal relationships and to resolve their disputes in the shadow of official legal systems which differ from those of their familial and communal traditions. The work invites reflection and demonstrates the urgency and complexity of the questions regarding the search for justice in the field of family life in Europe today.

Family Self and SocietyToward A New Agenda for Family Research Any agenda for family research in the 1990s must take seriously a contextual approach to the study of family relationships. The editors and contributors to this volume believe that the richness in family studies over the next decade will come from considering the diversity of family forms -- different ethnic groups and cultures different stages of family life as well as different historical cohorts. Their goal is to make more explicit how we think about families in order to study them and understand them. To illustrate the need for diversity in family studies examples are presented from new and old families majority and minority families American and Japanese families and intact and divorcing families. This variety is intended to push the limits of current thinking not only for researchers but also for all who are struggling to live with and work with families in a time when family life is valued but fragmented and relatively unsupported by society's institutions. Students and researchers interested in family development from the viewpoint of any of the social sciences will find this book of value. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138969612

Family Work and Household in Late Medieval IberiaA Social History of Manresa at the Time of the Black Death Family Work and Household presents the social and occupational life of a late medieval Iberian town in rich unprecedented detail. The book combines a diachronic study of two regionally prominent families—one knightly and one mercantile—with a detailed cross-sectional urban study of household and occupation. The town in question is the market town and administrative centre of Manresa in Catalonia whose exceptional archives make such a study possible. For the diachronic studies Fynn-Paul relied upon the fact that Manresan archives preserve scores of individual family notarial registers and the cross-sectional study was made possible by the Liber Manifesti of 1408 a cadastral survey which details the property holdings of individual householders to an unusually thorough degree. In these pages the economic and social strategies of many individuals including both knights and burghers come to light over the course of several generations. The Black Death and its aftermath play a prominent role in changing the outlook of many social actors. Other chapters detail the socioeconomic topography of the town and examine occupational hierarchies for such groups as rentiers merchants leatherworkers cloth workers women householders and the poor.

Family Activism in the Aftermath of Fatal Violence Family Activism in the Aftermath of Fatal Violence explores how family and family activism work at the intersection of personal and public troubles and considers what influence family testimonies of fatal violence can have on matters of crime justice and punishment. The problem of fatal violence represents one end of a long continuum of violence that marks society the effects of which endure in families and friends connected through ties of kinship identity and social bonds. The aftermath of fatal violence can therefore be an intensely personal encounter which confronts families with disorder and uncertainty. Nevertheless bereaved families are often found at the forefront of efforts to expose injustice rouse public consciousness and drive forward social change that seeks to prevent violence from happening again. This book draws upon ethnographic research with those bereaved by gun violence who became involved in family activism in the context of fatal violence: namely the attempts by bereaved families to manage their experiences of violent death through public expressions of grief and become proxies for wider debates on social injustice. This is an ever more pressing issue in a landscape which increasingly sees the delegation of responsibility to families and communities that are left to deal with the aftermath of violence. An accessible and compelling read this book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology sociology cultural studies and all those interested in learning more about the after-effects of fatal violence.

Family and Child Well-being After Welfare Reform Since their historic high in 1994 welfare caseloads in the United States have dropped an astounding 59 percent--more than 5 million fewer families receive welfare. Family and Child Well-Being after Welfare Reform now in paperback explores how low-income children and their families are faring in the wake of welfare reform. Contributors to the volume include leading social researchers. Can existing surveys and other data be used to measure trends in the area? What key indicators should be tracked? What are the initial trends after welfare reform? What other information or approaches would be helpful? The book covers a broad range of topics: an update on welfare reform (Douglas J. Besharov and Peter Germanis); ongoing major research (Peter H. Rossi); material well-being such as earnings benefits and consumption (Richard Bavier); family versus household (Wendy D. Manning); fatherhood cohabitation and marriage (Wade F. Horn); teenage sex pregnancy and nonmarital births (Isabel V. Sawhill); child maltreatment and foster care (Richard J. Gelles); homelessness and housing (John C. Weicher); child health and well-being (Lorraine V. Klerman); nutrition food security and obesity (Harold S. Beebout); crime juvenile delinquency and dysfunctional behavior (Lawrence W. Sherman); drug use (Peter Reuter); mothers' work and child care (Julia B. Isaacs); and the activities of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Don Winstead and Ann McCormick). When welfare reform was first debated many people feared that it would hurt the poor especially children. The contributors find little evidence to suggest this has occurred. As time limits and other programmatic requirements take hold more information will be needed to assess the condition of low-income families after welfare reform. This informative volume establishes a baseline for that assessment. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523395

Family and Human Development Across CulturesA View From the Other Side The culmination of 15 years of research by a Turkish psychologist who was educated in the West this volume examines both the theoretical and practical aspects of cross-cultural psychology. It takes a contextual-developmental-functional approach linking the child family and society as they are embedded in culture. A refreshingly different view the author presents a portrait of human development from "the other side"--from the perspective of the "majority world." In a world seemingly dominated by American psychology she proposes the cross-cultural orientation as a corrective to the culture-boundedness of much of Euro-American psychology. Analyzing human development in context while avoiding the pitfalls of extreme relativism this work studies development with an inclusive holistic and ecological perspective focusing on the development of the self and of competence. In so doing it also attempts to combine cultural contextualism with universalistic standards and psychological processes. It proposes a theory of family change which challenges some commonly held modernization assumptions and links theory and application while examining the role of psychology in inducing social change.

Family and Kinship in East London First published in 1957 and reprinted with a new introduction in 1986  Michael Young and Peter Willmott’s book on family and kinship in Bethnal Green in the 1950s is a classic in urban studies. A standard text in planning housing family studies and sociology it predicted the failure in social terms of the great rehousing campaign which was getting under way in the 1950s. The tall flats built to replace the old ‘slum’ houses were unpopular. Social networks were broken up. The book had an immediate impact when it appeared – extracts were published in the newspapers the sales were a record for a report of a sociological study Government ministers quoted it. But the approach it advocated was not accepted until the late 1960s and by then it was too late.

Family and Marital PsychotherapyA Critical Approach The family therapy movement had from its earliest days been marked by a surge of creativity and by the energy of the new ideas it generated. Originally published in 1979 the authors of the original essays collected together in this book felt that the time had come to take stock and to scrutinise more carefully the meaning and effectiveness of this new psychotherapeutic method within the particular conditions prevailing Britain at the time. The book focuses on issues relating to theory research and practice and while concentrating on three sub-specialities of family therapy – family group therapy marital therapy and network therapy – the papers cover a wide variety of topics. In addition to papers by practitioners and teachers of family therapy two contributions are included from the field of academic psychology. Before this much of the family therapy literature had been presented in the form of an uncritical eulogy of the method. The special interest of this book lies in its attempt to bring a critical perspective to bear upon family therapy and its application. Moreover in contrast with much that had been previously written the authors sought to make a distinctive contribution to the development of family therapy through their effort to integrate rather than to polarise what is valuable within a variety of different theoretical and empirical approaches.

With close attention to the implications of differing relations to space for the social fabric of families it presents studies of theoretical methodological and empirical aspects of late-modern family life. Examining the meaning of absence and presence for parenting the aesthetic and sensual dimensions of everyday family life and its digital and media-related features aspects Family and Space considers the value of a range of approaches to researching the spatial elements of family life including ethnographic accounts interviews group discussions mobile methods and network analyses.

Family and the State in Early Modern Revenge DramaEconomies of Vengeance In this book McMahon considers Early Modern revenge plays from a political science perspective paying particular attention to the construction of family and state institutions. Plays set for close study are The Spanish Tragedy Hamlet The Revenger’s Tragedy The Malcontent and The Duchess of Malfi. The plays are read as unique events occupying positions in historical process concerning the privatisation of the family (by means of symbolism and concrete household strategies such as budgeting and surveillance) and the subsequent appropriation of the family and its methods by the state. The effect is that family becomes an unofficial organ of the state. This process however also involves the reform of the state along lines demanded by the private family. McMahon’s critical method derived from the theory of Bourdieu Bataille and Girard maps capital transactions to reveal emotionally charged often idiosyncratic responses to issues of shared concern. Such issues include state corruption the management of women the performance of roles according to gender the uses of surveillance and the ethics of sacrifice.

Family Business Until the early 1980s serious academic research on family businesses was sparse to say the least. The scholarship that did exist was primarily based on anecdotal evidence and mostly biased toward the negative effects of family involvement particularly in terms of nepotism and family feuds undermining a firm’s performance and familial relationships. Considered at best an example for how not to manage a business family business was deemed not worthy of scientific attention. This has changed dramatically over the past three decades and this new Routledge Major Works collection provides users with background knowledge about the foundations of family-business theory and research as well as a sense of its theoretical and empirical variety. Edited and with a new introduction by a team of leading scholars the four volumes assemble the very best and most influential works in family business to provide an authoritative research resource.

Family Centred Group Care: Model Building Published in 1997 this study focused on building and empirically validating a model of family centred group care. This is an alternative to the traditional model of group child care that is primarily child centred and which reflects the notion of group care as a substitute for parental care. The model represents a step forward in the conceptualization of group care practice as both child centred and family affirming. The Family Centred Group Care instrument used in the study is unique in that this is the first to measure a model of group care empirically. The book will be of interest to child welfare practitioners social workers child care workers and other human service personnel as well as managers of agencies that provide group care services for children and at-risk youth. Researchers and policy makers will also find this book useful as the study advances the application of empirical methodology to human service programs.

As well as contributing creative ideas to centre practice this important edited collection highlights the role of practitioners as developmental or informal educationalists. International contributors challenge care management in child protection as the dominant discourse in child care social work and instead advance integrated practice in the internationally developing role of family centres as a more authentic and hopeful practice for children and families. The contributors outline ways of avoiding reductionism - social work reduced to a protective and assessment role - and show how socially inclusive practice can be sustained with very marginalized families. The book argues that there is a need for the social work training curriculum to emphasize social work's debt to social and informal education and concludes with a call for an international forum of family centre practice.

Family CyclesStrength Decline and Renewal in American Domestic Life 1630-2000 In this paradigm-shifting volume Allan C. Carlson identifies and examines four distinct cycles of strength or weakness of American family systems. This distinctly American family model includes early and nearly universal marriage high fertility close attention to parental responsibilities complementary gender roles meaningful intergenerational bonds and relative stability. Notably such traits distinguish the "strong" American family system from the "weak" European model (evident since 1700) which involves late marriage a high proportion of the adult population never married significantly lower fertility and more divorces.The author shows that these cycles of strength and weakness have occurred until recently in remarkably consistent fifty-year swings in the United States since colonial times. The book's chapters are organized around these 50-year time frames. There have been four family cycles of strength and decline since 1630 each one lasting about one hundred years. The author argues that fluctuations within this cyclical model derive from intellectual economic cultural and religious influences which he explores in detail and supports with considerable evidence.

Family Development in Three Generations Family Development in Three Generations is an unusual kind of multi-generational gathering--the result of a massive in-depth research effort. It is based upon Hill's personal interviews conducted with over 300 families during the course of a year. The discussion results from these interviews from the statistical information that they produced and from Hill's consultation with five other fellow researchers. This scholarly contribution to the family field thoroughly analyzes the complexities of the modified generational network. As a multi-generational study it is pervaded by the vigorous spirit that usually characterizes such research.In his preface to Family Development in Three Generations Reuben Hill invites the reader "to drop in on any generational gathering" where "you will hear how much better or worse life was in grandfather's day than today." Such discussions are usually controversial and center upon shared experiences. Such rhetoric polemic and energy sustain conversations among generations.Family Development in Three Generations penetrates to the life center of intimate change in American society. It is a wide-ranging volume that presents varied and highly significant insights into many fields. Scholars will find it a vital contribution to their knowledge of the subject and laymen will find it full of valuable information that they can profitably apply to their own families. The work is widely recognized as a classic in longitudinal analysis of family life. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203792193

Family DramasIntimacy Power and Systems in Shakespeare's Tragedies Most of Shakespeare’s tragedies have a family drama at their heart. This book brings these relationships to life offering a radical new perspective on the tragic heroes and their dilemmas. Family Dramas: Intimacy Power and Systems in Shakespeare's Tragedies focusses on the interactions and dialogues between people on stage linking their intimate emotional worlds to wider social and political contexts. Since family relationships absorb and enact social ideologies their conflicts often expose the conflicts that all ideologies contain. The complexities contradictions and ambiguities of Shakespeare’s portrayals of individuals and their relationships are brought to life while wider power structures and social discourses are shown to reach into the heart of intimate relationships and personal identity. Surveying relevant literature from Shakespeare studies the book introduces the ideas behind the family systems approach to literary criticism. Explorations of gender relationships feature particularly strongly in the analysis since it is within gender that intimacy and power most compellingly intersect and frequently collide. For Shakespeare lovers and psychotherapists alike this application of systemic theory opens a new perspective on familiar literary territory. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138335776

Family DynastiesThe Evolution of Global Business in Scandinavia A remarkable fifteen Nordic family businesses are among the 500 biggest companies in the world and the Nordic countries have more dynasties than most others per capita and in GDP terms. The willingness often reluctant of both the political system and labour movement to accept asset accumulation has helped these Nordic businesses survive. The top 1% of Swedes own close to 25% of the country's wealth as opposed to 16.5% of Spaniards where dynasties are also abundant. The pattern has held a firm grip on the Nordic countries since the Industrial Revolution and emergence of free enterprise. The trend is particularly pronounced in comparison with the Anglo-Saxon countries – somewhat less so relative to places like Italy Japan Germany and South-Asian countries.This book describes the factors and dynamics behind the ability of Nordic businesses to grow and thrive from one generation to the next in the process of becoming dynasties. Far from being commercial enterprises they are a venue for power philanthropy passion conflict freedom and captivity. Like many other dynasties the Nordic ones are a witch's brew of Machiavelli's Prince Marx's belief in the potential of the meritocracy and Smith's baker who works to sustain his family. Topped by a spoonful of Weber's Protestant Ethic.This book will be key readings for students and scholars of entrepreneurship corporate governance business history Scandinavian history family business and enterprises and the related disciplines.

Family EstrangementA matter of perspective Family estrangement is larger than conflict and more complicated than betrayal. It is entwined in contradictory beliefs values behaviours and goals and is the result of at least one member of the family considering reconciliation impossible and/or undesirable.

Family Farming In Europe And America Much has happened since agricultural economists and rural sociologists met at the University of Chicago in 1946 to discuss family farming. The problems and issues related to the structure of agriculture have been intensified by current economic considerations which promote the growth of larger-scale commercial farming operations and edge out many smaller farms owned operated and worked by families. In this book contributors from eleven nations in Europe and North America provide a comparison of farm structure under different economic and political systems including Poland as an example of a non-market economy. In addition to providing information on how local state and international policies have affected the agricultural enterprise they look at the role of farmers' organizations in policy formulation and take note of changes in farm patterns and policies that have had an impact on farm production off-farm work and the welfare of farm families and rural communities.

Family Farms: Survival and ProspectA World-Wide Analysis Marx Lenin and Kautsky all regarded family farming as doomed to be split into capitalist farms and proletarian labour. Most modern economists regard family farming as an archaic form of production organization destined to give way to agribusiness. Family Farms refutes these notions and analyses the manner in which family farmers have been able to operate with success in both developed and developing countries using examples wherever these are illuminating. This book begins by reviewing theoretical arguments about agricultural structures and defines family farming. This is followed by five vignettes about farming in the first half of the twentieth century. The authors analyse the conditions of access to land and water labour livestock tools and seed and review marketing arrangements and how they have changed since 1900. A three-chapter review of evolving policies in the North Atlantic countries in the communist states and in the developing countries leads to a discussion of the impact of neo-liberalism. New issues of the farmer as steward of the environment are explored as well as modern ideas about de-agrarianization and a discussion of land reform tracing the experience of Mexico and Brazil. In two final chapters the more positive approach of pluriactivity is discussed and followed by a review of organic farming as a principal modern innovation. New political organizations representing family farming are described and their demands are discussed with empathy but in a sceptical manner.   Family farming is an adaptable and resilient form of production organization and these qualities have allowed it to survive. The future will be no easier than the past yet family farming continues to flourish in most contexts. This book will be useful for researchers students and lecturers interested in Development Studies Rural Studies and Geography and Anthropology as well as general readers who have an interest in farming.

Family Fictions and Family FactsHarriet Martineau Adolphe Quetelet and the Population Question in England 1798-1859 Classical political economy rests on the assumption that the market and the family are overlapping and mutually dependent realms dominated in turn by economic men and domestic women.

Family Foster Care in the Next Century Family foster care is supposed to provide temporary protection and nurturing for children experiencing maltreatment. Although it has long been a critical service for millions of children in the United States the increased attention given to this service in the last two decades has focused more on its inability to achieve its intended outcomes than on its successes. However as social and political trends and new legislation reshape child welfare policymakers and service providers continue to offer innovative policy and practice options for this child welfare service. Though use of the service has changed family foster care remains important.  Responding to a widespread sense of the "drifting" of children in care Congress passed the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980. This legislation became a key factor shaping the current status of family foster care. Its goal was to reduce reliance on out-of-home care and encourage use of preventive and reunification services; it also mandated that agencies engage in planning efforts for permanent solutions for foster children. Yet despite federal mandates and funding the child welfare system has continued to struggle to provide the level of services needed for children to reduce the amount of time children remain in temporary foster care. The latest response to these problems the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 established unequivocally that safety permanency and well-being were national goals for children in the child welfare system. To comply with the law public and private agencies are required to initiate significant program and practice changes in the coming years to improve permanency outcomes and child well-being in family foster care.  The central theme of the volume is accountability for outcomes certainly a current driving force in child welfare as well as in other public and private service fields. This volume will be of interest to all concerned with the social welfare of children and families at the end of the twentieth century.  Kathy Barbell is director of Foster Care of the Child Welfare League of America Washington DC.  Lois Wright is assistant dean at the College of Social Work University of South Carolina Columbia.

Family Identity And The State In The Bamako Kafu This groundbreaking book explores the history and the cultural context of family claims to power in the Bamako kafu or state (located in contemporary Mali in West Africa) primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Perinbam argues that the absence of precise information on the Bamako kafu's political status during this period empowered families to manipulate the myths rituals and ancestral legends?as well as belief systems?so that their claims to state power appeared incontrovertible. The French on reaching the region accepted these representations of power.Although the author's historical data focus mainly on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries mythical recountings beyond this historical grid?ranging across approximately one thousand years and including large-scale migrations throughout the West African Sahel?provide insights into the processes by which many of these ethnic identities were subject to reconfiguration and reinvention. Within this historical-mythical matrix Perinbam offers new insights into the reconstruction of Mande identities their cultures (material and otherwise) political systems and various social fields as well as their past. Instead of rigid ethnic identities?sometimes identified in the historical and anthropological literature as ?Mandingo ? ?Malinke ? or ?Bambara??the author argues that variable ethnographic identities were more often than not mediated in accordance with a number of mythic and historical contingencies most notably the respective states into which the families were drawn as well as state formation maintenance and renewal not to mention meaning sensitive to political generational and gender challenges. With the arrival of the French in the late nineteenth century and the Mande incorporation into the French colonial state familial identities once more readjusted.The careful research and original scholarship of Family Identity and the State in the Bamako Kafu make it a significant contribut Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367096335

Family Investments in Children's PotentialResources and Parenting Behaviors That Promote Success The papers in this volume bring together a cross-disciplinary mix of researchers--developmental psychologists evolutionary biologists economists anthropologists and sociologists--working on the common theme of investments in children. The interdisciplinary conceptual framework adopted by this collection of papers is loosely built around the idea that there are two broad dimensions of parental investments. These include resources (e.g. income wealth) on the one hand and behaviors (e.g. parental instrumental support and parental activities that promote warmth socialization and cognitive stimulation) on the other. Believing that parental investments yield a "return" in improved child and young adult outcomes the papers discuss how parents differ in terms of the resources they have available to invest the choices parents make the behaviors they engage in and relevant policy and program interventions. More specifically core questions addressed by the authors include: Why do some families invest while others do not and are differential investment patterns related to biology economics or social factors? What constitutes a successful "investment portfolio?" How are "investments" measured and/or characterized? Are different investments interchangeable compensating or off-setting? Given a set of resources why are some families able to make more effective investments in child outcomes? How well do these investments affect outcomes for children and for these children as young adults? Can interventions or public policies help families build assets or become "better" investors in their children's potential? Developing a better understanding of what investments matter when they matter and how resources can be successfully invested in children's potential is key to shaping efficient interventions and social policies. Knowledge of how parents invest and what strategies are effective may help policies which seek to further empower and enable parental involvement and choice for their children.

Family Life and the LawUnder One Roof This book brings a modern critical approach to bear on the broad range of subjects that used to constitute 'family law.' A key consideration in this collection is the way in which law itself is premised upon constructing a particular image of the family. By bringing different areas of law together Probert et al suggest it is possible to explore how differing ideas about 'the family' inform different areas of law. This approach allows Family Life and the Law to analyze the extent to which the law is consistent and/or inconsistent in its concept and treatment of the family across and within disciplines. The book is particularly timely in view of the passage of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 the implications of which reverberate throughout family law and allied disciplines and the current reconsideration of the position of cohabiting couples.

Family Life and Youth OffendingHome is Where the Hurt is The contention that young people commit offences due to inadequate parenting and parental difficulties has been an abiding feature of the debates on juvenile offending. Previously this evidence has been used to design prevention programmes for young offenders who have been processed by the criminal justice system but this book examines how this evidence can be used to prevent offending in the first place. Examining the relationship between the causes of youth offending and the legal duty of the state to address those causes this book provides evidence to show that improving the family environment could be the most effective and enduring strategy for combating juvenile delinquency and associated behavioural social and emotional problems. It examines how current child welfare legislation in particular the Children Act 1989 could be employed to prevent children who are at risk of engaging in antisocial and delinquent behaviour from offending. It abandons the traditional ‘welfare vs. justice’ dichotomy and instead outlines a new approach which focuses on the rights and needs of young people in troubled circumstances and their families.

Family Love in the DiasporaMigration and the Anglo-Caribbean Experience Colonial social policy in the British West Indies from the nineteenth century onward assumed that black families lacked morals structure and men a void that explained poverty and lack of citizenship. African-Caribbean families appeared as the mirror opposite of the "ideal" family advocated by the white colonial authorities. Yet contrary to this image what provided continuity in the period and contributed to survival was in fact the strength of family connections their inclusivity and support. This study is based on 150 life story narratives across three generations of forty-five families who originated in the former British West Indies. The author focuses on the particular axes of Caribbean peoples from the former British colonies of Jamaica Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados and Great Britain. Divided into four parts the chapters within each present an oral history of migrant African-Caribbean families demonstrating the varieties organization and dynamics of family through their memories and narratives. It traces the evolution of Caribbean life; argues how the family can be seen as the tool that helps transmit and transform historical mentalities; examines the dynamics of family life; and makes comparisons with Indo-Caribbean families. Above all this is a story of families that evolved against the odds of slavery and poverty to form a distinct Creole form through which much of the social history of the English-speaking Caribbean is refracted. "Family Love in the Diaspora" offers an important new perspective on African-Caribbean families their history and the problems they face for now and the future. It offers a long overdue historical dimension to the debates on Caribbean families. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203792179

Family Mediation in Ireland This title was first published in 2002: After outlining the origins and development of family mediation on a world-wide basis this book assesses family mediation services in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland within the context of the empirical and theoretical debates surrounding the practice. It is the first comprehensive study of the area in Ireland appearing at an opportune time due to the expansion of the service in the Republic and its virtual collapse in Northern Ireland. It argues that the service provided in the Republic of Ireland is appreciated by clients and is successful although the issue of domestic violence remains. In contrast it suggests that the absence of service provision in Northern Ireland is problematic since it undermines consumer choice. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138728998

Family Migration and the Path to an OccupationThe (Early) Experiences of Skilled Taiwanese and Chinese ‘Wives’ This book sheds light on the invisible early post-arrival period of female family migrants traditionally considered to be low skilled or professionally quiescent. With attention to the experiences of Chinese and Taiwanese women married to German men it examines the ways in which the private sphere—marked by intermarriage couple dynamics and native–foreigner relations—constitutes the main locus of women’s socialization in the host country as interactions with their intimate partners in the family realm shape both their self-conceptions and their employment intentions. Based on interviews with migrant women and their spouses the author outlines the subject positions that characterize female migrants’ attitudes to external constructs and entering the labor market showing that female family migrants frequently take on family migrant and wife roles that permeate intimate relationships and impede employment intentions but also often strive to realign with their pre-departure independent selves and thus regain agency. A study of gender dynamics and labor market entry among newly arrived female migrants this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in gender migration and work.

Family MobilityReconciling Career Opportunities and Educational Strategy Family mobility decisions reveal much about how the public and private realms of social life interact and change. This sociological study explores how contemporary families reconcile individual members’ career and education projects within the family unit over time and space and unpacks the intersubjective constraints on workforce mobility. This Australian mixed methods study sampled Defence Force families and middle class professional families to illustrate how families’ educational projects are necessarily and deeply implicated in issues of workforce mobility and immobility in complex ways. Defence families move frequently often absorbing the stresses of moving through ‘viscous’ institutions as private troubles. In contrast the selective mobility of middle class professional families and their ‘no go zones’ contribute to the public issue of poorly serviced rural communities. Families with different social material and vocational resources at their disposal are shown to reflexively weigh the benefits and risks associated with moving differently. The book also explore how priorities shift as children move through educational phases. The families’ narratives offer empirical windows on larger social processes such as the mobility imperative the gender imbalance in the family’s intersubjective bargains labour market credentialism the social construction of place and the family’s role in the reproduction of class structure.

Family MultinationalsEntrepreneurship Governance and Pathways to Internationalization In contrast to widespread assessments that family enterprises lack sufficient resources and capabilities to go global many family companies are competing successfully in an increasingly globalized business environment. Worldwide a large number of thriving multinationals are still family-owned and/or under family control. While there is abundant literature on the phenomenon of globalization from many different disciplines neither the literature on multinationals nor the growing field of family business studies have systematically investigated family multinationals yet. This volume is one of the first to deal explicitly with family multinationals and the role of the family in internationalization. It situates itself at the crossroads of internationalization studies on the one hand and family business research on the other. Why do families continue to play such a large role in some of the most prominent firms in emerging and mature economies? How did they manage to maintain ownership control yet divest of unrelated business ventures? How did they internationalize yet maintain control? This book identifies the idiosyncratic strategies and structures of family multinationals in different countries and at different points in time. A comparative historical and case study approach allows us to explore the role of the family through the firms’ various internationalization pathways and understand long-term developments and path dependencies.

Family Narratives and the Development of an Autobiographical SelfSocial and Cultural Perspectives on Autobiographical Memory Stories are central to our world. We form our families our communities and our nations through stories. It is through stories of our everyday experiences that each of us constructs an autobiographical self a narrative identity that confers a sense of coherence and meaning to our individual lives. In this volume Robyn Fivush describes how this deeply personal autobiographical self is socially and culturally constructed. Family Narratives and the Development of an Autobiographical Self demonstrates that through participating in family reminiscing in which adults help children learn the forms and functions of talking about the past young children come to understand and evaluate their experiences and create a sense of self defined through individual and family stories that provide an anchor for understanding self others and the world. Fivush draws on three decades of research from her own lab and from others to demonstrate the critical role that family stories and family storytelling play in child development and outcome. This volume is essential reading for students and researchers interested in psychology human development and family studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138037243

Family Rights and Religion The interaction between individual rights which are often seen in secular terms and religion is becoming an important and complex topic not only for academic study but for practical policy. This volume collects a range of writings from journals edited collections and individual books which deal with different aspects of the interaction within the context of family life and which appear with their original pagination. These studies have been selected because they throw a sharp light on central elements of the role of religion in determining the structure of the rights of family members in relation to one another both from an historical and contemporary perspective. While many of the writings are focused on US and European systems selected writings covering other systems illustrate the universal nature of the topic. The studies are accompanied by a reflective commentary from the editor which sets the writings in a broad context of social constitutional and philosophical thought with the aim of stimulating critical thought and discussion.

Family Romance of the French Revolution This latest work from an author known for her contributions to the new cultural history is a daring multidisciplinary investigation of the imaginative foundations of modern politics. Hunt uses the term `Family Romance' (coined by Freud to describe the fantasy of being freed from one's family and belonging to one of higher social standing) in a broader sense to describe the images of the familial order that structured the collective political unconscious. In a wide-ranging account that uses novels engravings paintings speeches newspaper editorials pornographic writing and revolutionary legislation about the family Hunt shows that the politics of the French Revolution were experienced through the network of the family romance.

Family Stories and the Life CourseAcross Time and Generations This edited book draws from work that focuses on the act of telling family stories as well as their content and structure. The process of telling family stories is linked to central aspects of development including language acquisition affect regulation and family interaction patterns. This book extends across traditional developmental psychology personality theory and family studies. Drawing broadly on the epigenetic framework for individual development articulated by Erik Erikson as well as on conceptions of the family life cycle the editors bring together contemporary examples of psychological research on family stories and their implications for development and change at different points in the life course. The book is divided into sections that focus on family stories at different points in the life cycle from early childhood and the beginnings of narrative skill through adolescence young adulthood midlife and then mature adulthood and its intergenerational meaning. During each of these periods of the life cycle research focusing on individual development within an Eriksonian framework of ego strengths and virtues is highlighted. The dynamic role of family stories is also featured here with work exploring the links between family process intergenerational attachment and storytelling. Sociocultural theories that emphasize how such development is situated in the wider cultural context are also featured in several chapters. This broad lifespan developmental focus serves to integrate the exciting diversity of this work and foster further questions and research in the emerging field of family narrative. The book is intended primarily for researchers and advanced-level students in the fields of developmental and personality psychology as well as those in family studies and in gerontology. It may also be of interest to those in the helping professions who are concerned with family therapy and family issues and may--due to its content and illustrative material--have appeal to a wider market of the lay public. The chapters are written in a readily accessible style and the analyses are presented in a fairly non-technical way. Because family stories are charted across the lifespan it would be a suitable companion book to a more traditional lifespan textbook in certain courses.

Family Strategies Guanxi and School Success in Rural China Research in school success in contemporary China has argued that market reforms have reproduced the advantages for children from the cadre and the professional families while simultaneously creating new opportunities for children of the new arising economic elites. However it has performed less for traditional peasant families. This book places a special emphasis on how rural parents from different social backgrounds use guanxi (interpersonal social networks) to maintain the interconnectedness between their families and schools to create advantages for their children in school success. It investigates by an ethnographic study in a rural county in middle China how families from different social backgrounds within rural society get involved in the schooling of their children and how this contributes to different patterns of school success. The book argues that schools provide few formal and routine channels for rural parents to become involved in their children’s schooling. This raises the importance of family strategic initiatives to employ guanxi in the creation of advantages for their children’s school success. It concludes with discussions about guanxi as an important mechanism for social exclusion in post-socialist China. Chapters include: Family Strategies Parental Involvement and School Success The Roles of Parents: Voices of Parents in Zong Regarding School Involvement Policy Discourses: Missing the Link between Family and School Peasants: Family and Kinship The Blurring Division between Home and School This concise and comprehensive book is a qualitative study that will appeal to researchers and advance students in Chinese education and society.

Family Systems/Family TherapyApplications for Clinical Practice Use your family therapy skills to coordinate multidisciplinary teams!This comprehensive book examines family therapy issues in the context of the larger systems of health law and education. Family Systems/Family Therapy shows how family therapists can bring their skills to bear on a broad range of problems both by considering the effects of larger social systems and by cooperating with professionals in other disciplines.

Family Therapy and Chronic Illness Treatment for the chronically ill has traditionally focused on physical factors and symptoms despite the fact that chronic illness also affects life in an emotional and spiritual way. The approach toward treatment described in this volume addresses all aspects of a patient's life including their interpersonal experiences and relationships presenting family therapists and family physicians as part of the same treatment team. This volume thus provides a foundation for understanding the role illness plays in family systems.The meaning an individual gives to an illness is profoundly influenced by and influences that person's social world. In turn social culture and social networks both shape and are shaped by the individual's experiences. Exploring how the meaning of chronic illness is defined tells us much about the individual's interpersonal relations and the resultant meaning given to the person's illness. As a consequence family therapy must be an integral part of the treatment plan for chronically ill patients .Family Therapy and Chronic Illness approaches chronic illness from a leading-edge perspective. This approach enables therapists to listen attentively to complicated narratives. Because these stories feelings and emotions are difficult to describe the clients have demanding "telling" tasks while therapists have demanding "listening" tasks. This book sends an important message not just about the chronically ill but also about their families therapists and doctors and how they can work together to develop the best treatment plan possible.

By extensive use of verbatim transcripts of interviews she shows the minute-by-minute flow of a family therapy session and gives a clear idea of what can be and is achieved using this method of therapeutic intervention.

Family Values and Social JusticeReflections on Family Values: the Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships by H. Brighouse and A. Swift In making the argument for the remedy of inequality contemporary political philosophers often emphasize the arbitrariness of disadvantage stressing how one’s lot in life is to a significant extent determined by the circumstances of one’s birth that is in which family and in what part of the world. In the latter instance people differ in how well they live in a large part because of their context in the global order. But equally important for a person’s chances in life is the family that raises her (if the person is lucky enough to have a family in the first place). In Family Values: the Ethics of Parent-Child Relationships Harry Brighouse and Adam Swift provide a systematic analysis of the morality and politics of the family exploring why families are valuable whether people have a right to parent what rights and duties parents have and in particular what rights children have that may constrain the rights of their parents. The essays in this volume assess Brighouse and Swift’s contribution taking up a number of controversial issues about autonomy human flourishing parental rights and indeed the nature of childhood itself. Contributors offer a range of arguments some challenging others complementing of Brighouse and Swift’s account of the ethics of parent-child relationships. The chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue in the Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367586157

Family ValuesSubjects Between Nature and Culture Family Values shows how the various contradictions at the heart of Western conceptions of maternity and paternity problematize our relationships with ourselves and with others. Using philosophical texts psychoanalytic theory studies in biology and popular culture Kelly Oliver challenges our traditional concepts of maternity which are associated with nature and our conceptions of paternity which are embedded in culture. Oliver's intervention calls into question the traditional image of the oppositional relationship between nature and culture maternal and paternal. Family Values also undercuts recent returns to the rhetoric of a "battle between the sexes" by analyzing the conceptual basis of these descriptions in biological research and the presuppositions of such suggestions in philosophy and psychoanalysis. By developing a reconception of maternity and paternity Family Values offers hope for peace in the battle of the sexes. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315865867

Family Violence and Police ResponseLearning From Research Policy and Practice in European Countries Police response to incidents of intimate partner violence can be critical. This volume investigates the elements in the institutional legal and organizational context that are relevant for police response to incidents in the realm of the private sphere and whether there exists a relation with the reporting of such incidents by victims. Addressing this complex question requires insights from research policy and practice and as such any conclusions will have implications for each of these fields. This volume addresses issues that are key elements in the relationship between the (legal) response to family violence and the reporting by victims. These issues concern societal and legal definitions of family violence employed in research policy making and legal practice; how the legislation of various countries covers violence in the private sphere; the way the police deal with reported incidents of intimate partner violence; and the role that other interventions play in the response to and combat of family violence and intimate partner violence.

Family WorldsA Psychosocial Approach to Family Life How does a family function? How does a family make a distinctive life of its own while living according to the values of society? In what ways is a family a unit when all its members have personalities of their own? How can we understand diversity among families?Robert D. Hess and Gerald Handel sensitively explore the dynamics of family life in five narrative case studies. The Clarks Lansons Littletons Newbolds and Steeles are all "typical" families with representative social cultural and psychological problems. By simultaneously studying each family as a small group and as a set of individual personalities the authors have captured the interplay between personality and family as each group works out its own special way of coping with its problems. Further they have formulated several principles of family functioning that help focus comparison.Family Worlds was the first and is still one of the few studies to interview each member of the family giving equal weight to children as well as to adults so each family member's perspective is factored into Hess and Handel's family portraits. A new introduction to the Transaction edition illuminates just how significant this ground-breaking study still is today and highlights the new implications it has for today's families as well as emerging approaches.

Family-Peer RelationshipsModes of Linkage Originally published in 1992 this volume provided an up-to-date overview of recent research concerning the links between family and peer systems. Considerable work in the past had focused on family issues or peer relationships but these systems had typically been considered separately. This volume bridges the gap across these two important socialization contexts and provides insights into the processes that account for the links across the systems – the ways in which the relationships between these systems shift across development. In addition the variations in the links between family and peers are illustrated by cross-cultural work studies of abused children and research on the impact of maternal depression. In short the volume provides not only a convenient overview of recent progress at the time but lays out an agenda for future research. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138649262

Family-School LinksHow Do They Affect Educational Outcomes? Based on the presentations and discussions from a national symposium on family-school links held at the Pennsylvania State University this volume brings together psychologists sociologists educators and policymakers studying the bidirectional effects between schools and families.

The chapter authors consider these questions and related issues present different perspectives highlight various aspects of the issues and suggest widely differing answers. This volume's goal is to provide the reader with current information on what is known about family-school-community links and to provoke new ways of thinking about these links and their implications for children's education and well-being.

Famine and FashionNeedlewomen in the Nineteenth Century Like the figure of the governess the seamstress occupied a unique place in the history of the nineteenth century appearing frequently in debates about women's work and education and the condition of the working classes generally in the rapidly changing capitalist marketplace. Like the governess the figure of the needlewoman is ubiquitous in art fiction and journalism in the nineteenth century. The fifteen articles in this book address the seamstress's appearance as a 'real' figure in the changing economies of nineteenth-century Britain America and France and as an important cultural icon in the art and literature of the period. They treat the many different types of needlewomen in the nineteenth century-from skilled milliners and dressmakers some of whom owned their own businesses selling merchandise to other women (forming a unique 'female economy') to women who through reduced circumstances were forced into the lowest end of paid needlework sewing clothing at home for starvation wages-like the impoverished shirt-maker in the famous Victorian poem by Thomas Hood 'The Song of the Shirt.' This volume assembles the work of leading American British and Canadian scholars from many different fields including art history literary criticism gender studies labor history business history and economic history to draw together recent scholarship on needlewomen from a variety of different disciplines and methodologies. Famine and Fashion will therefore appeal to anyone studying images of work in the nineteenth century popular and canonical nineteenth-century literature the history of women's work the history of sweated labor the origins of the ready-made clothing industry and early feminism.

Famine and Pestilence in the Late Roman and Early Byzantine EmpireA Systematic Survey of Subsistence Crises and Epidemics Famine and Pestilence in the Late Roman and Early Byzantine Empire presents the first analytical account in English of the history of subsistence crises and epidemic diseases in Late Antiquity. Based on a catalogue of all such events in the East Roman/Byzantine empire between 284 and 750 it gives an authoritative analysis of the causes effects and internal mechanisms of these crises and incorporates modern medical and physiological data on epidemics and famines. Its interest is both in the history of medicine and the history of Late Antiquity especially its social and demographic aspects. Stathakopoulos develops models of crises that apply not only to the society of the late Roman and early Byzantine world but also to early modern and even contemporary societies in Africa or Asia. This study is therefore both a work of reference for information on particular events (e.g. the 6th-century Justinianic plague) and a comprehensive analysis of subsistence crises and epidemics as agents of historical causation. As such it makes an important contribution to the ongoing debate on Late Antiquity bringing a fresh perspective to comment on the characteristic features that shaped this period and differentiate it from Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Famine Early Warning SystemsVictims and destitution Is it possible to see famines coming to be prepared and to save possibly hundreds of thousands of lives? Or is this the wrong question? A famine is not a single natural catastrophe: it has different stages. Many societies have sophisticated strategies for coping â€“ but these are becoming dramatically limited. Famine Early Warning System is about the people who are caught up in the process of famine. Peter Walker looks at how they perceive their predicament and what they do to avert mass starvation: and at what genuinely useful help can be offered in order to prevent irreversible disaster.

Famine Irish and the American Racial State Accounts of Irish racialization in the United States have tended to stress Irish difference. Famine Irish and the American Racial State takes a different stance. This interdisciplinary transnational work uses an array of cultural artifacts including novels plays songs cartoons government reports laws sermons memoirs and how-to manuals to make its case. It challenges the claim that the Irish "became white" in the United States showing that the claim fails to take into full account the legal position of the Irish in the nineteenth-century US state – a state that deemed the Irish "white" upon arrival. The Irish thus not only fitted into the US racial state; they helped to form it. Till now little heed has been paid to the state’s role in the Americanization of the Irish or to the Irish role in the development of US state institutions. Distinguishing American citizenship from American nationality this volume journeys to California to analyze the means by which the Irish gained acceptance in both categories at the expense of the Chinese. Along the way it contests ideas that have taken hold within American studies. One is the notion that the Roman Catholic Church operated outside of the power structure of the nineteenth-century United States. On the contrary Famine Irish and the American Racial State argues the Irish-led corporate Catholic Church became deeply imbricated in US state structures. Its final chapter discusses a radical transnational Irish tradition that offers a glimpse at a postnational future. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367344443

Famines in European Economic HistoryThe Last Great European Famines Reconsidered This volume explores economic social and political dimensions of three catastrophic famines which struck mid-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Europe; the Irish Famine (An Gorta Mór ) of 1845–1850 the Finnish Famine (Suuret Nälkävuodet) of the 1860s and the Ukrainian Famine (Holodomor) of 1932/1933.In addition to providing new insights into these events on international national and regional scales this volume contributes to an increased comparative historiography in historical famine studies. The parallel studies presented in this book challenge and enhance established understandings of famine tragedies including: famine causation and culpability; social and regional famine vulnerabilities; core–periphery relationships between nations and regions; degrees of national autonomy and self-sufficiency; as well as famine memory and identity.Famines in European Economic History advocates that the impact and long-term consequences of famine for a nation should be understood in the context of evolving geopolitical relations that extend beyond its borders. Furthermore regional structures within a nation can lead to unevenness in both the severity of the immediate famine crisis and the post-famine recovery.This book will be of interest to those in the fields of economic history European history and economic geography.

Fan Fiction and CopyrightOutsider Works and Intellectual Property Protection As long as there have been fans there has been fan fiction. There seems to be a fundamental human need to tell additional stories about the characters after the book series play or movie is over. But developments in information technology and copyright law have put these fan stories at risk of collision with the content owners’ intellectual property rights. Fan fiction has long been a nearly invisible form of outsider art but over the past decade it has grown exponentially in volume and in legal importance. Because of its nature authorship and underground status fan fiction stands at an intersection of key issues regarding property sexuality and gender. In Fan Fiction and Copyright author Aaron Schwabach examines various types of fan-created content and asks whether and to what extent they are protected from liability for copyright infringement. Professor Schwabach discusses examples of original and fan works from a wide range of media genres and cultures. From Sherlock Holmes to Harry Potter fictional characters their authors and their fans are sympathetically yet realistically assessed. Fan Fiction and Copyright looks closely at examples of three categories of disputes between authors and their fans: Disputes over the fans’ use of copyrighted characters disputes over online publication of fiction resembling copyright work and in the case of J.K. Rowling and a fansite webmaster a dispute over the compiling of a reference work detailing an author's fictional universe. Offering more thorough coverage of many such controversies than has ever been available elsewhere and discussing fan works from the United States Brazil China India Russia and elsewhere Fan Fiction and Copyright advances the understanding of fan fiction as transformative use and points the way toward a safe harbor for fan fiction.

Fanon Education ActionChild as Method Bridging childhood studies pedagogy and educational theory critical psychology and postcolonial studies this unique book reads the role and functions of ‘the child’ and childhood as both cultural motif and as embodied life condition through the work of Frantz Fanon.

Fanon and the Crisis of European ManAn Essay on Philosophy and the Human Sciences As the first book to analyze the work of Fanon as an existential-phenomenological of human sciences and liberation philosopher Gordon deploys Fanon's work to illuminate how the "bad faith" of European science and civilization have philosophically stymied the project of liberation. Fanon's body of work serves as a critique of European science and society and shows the ways in which the project of "truth" is compromised by Eurocentric artificially narrowed scope of humanity--a circumstance to which he refers as the crisis of European Man. In his examination of the roots of this crisis Gordon explores the problems of historical salvation and the dynamics of oppression the motivation behind contemporary European obstruction of the advancement of a racially just world the forms of anonymity that pervade racist theorizing and contribute to "seen invisibility " and the reasons behind the impossibility of a nonviolent transition from colonialism and neocolonialism to postcolonialism.

FanonIn Search of the African Revolution First published in 1986. Fanon: In Search of the African Revolution is different from other books on Fanon in that it approaches him as both a political philosopher and political sociologist of the African experience. It suggests that Fanon's political writings be viewed in terms of his concern with how relations are structured in colonial and post-colonial Africa and the implications of those structural arrangements for political conflict in Africa. Fanon's attempt to explain the pathologies and contradictions of African politics in terms of class and the historical processes that influence and constrain class political behavior is provocative and insightful. But the moral dimension that informs Fanon's theoretical perspectives is no less important if only because it attests to his strong advocacy of the need for revolutionary change as a condition for the restructuring of African political systems.

Fantasy and BeliefAlternative Religions Popular Narratives and Digital Cultures Religion and spirituality are being transformed in our late modern and secularising times. New forms of belief proliferate often notable for not being limited to traditional systems of reference or expression. Increasingly these new religions present worldviews which draw directly upon popular culture - or occulture - in fiction film art and the internet. Fantasy and Belief explores the context and implications of these types of beliefs through the example of the Otherkin community. The Otherkin are a loosely-affiliated group who believe themselves to be in some way more than just human their non-humanity often rooted in the characters and narratives of popular fantasy and science fiction. Challenging much current sociological thinking about spirituality and consumption Fantasy and Belief reveals how popular occulture operates to recycle develop and disseminate metaphysical ideas and how the popular and the sacred are combining in new ways in today's world.

Fantasy and Mimesis (Routledge Revivals)Responses to Reality in Western Literature Since Plato and Aristotle’s declaration of the essence of literature as imitation western narrative has been traditionally discussed in mimetic terms. Marginalized fantasy- the deliberate from reality – has become the hidden face of fiction identified by most critics as a minor genre. First published in 1984 this book rejects generic definitions of fantasy arguing that it is not a separate or even separable strain in literary practice but rather an impulse as significant as that of mimesis. Together fantasy and mimesis are the twin impulses behind literary creation. In an analysis that ranges from the Icelandic sagas to science fiction from Malory to pulp romance Kathryn Hume systematically examines the various ways in which fantasy and mimesis contribute to literary representations of reality. A detailed and comprehensive title this reissue will be of particular value to undergraduate literature students with an interest in in literary genres and the centrality of literature to the creative imagination.

Fantasy and the Real World in British Children’s LiteratureThe Power of Story This study examines the children’s books of three extraordinary British writers—J.K. Rowling Diana Wynne Jones and Terry Pratchett—and investigates their sophisticated use of narrative strategies not only to engage children in reading but to educate them into becoming mature readers and indeed individuals. The book demonstrates how in quite different ways these writers establish reader expectations by drawing on conventions in existing genres only to subvert those expectations. Their strategies lead young readers to evaluate for themselves both the power of story to shape our understanding of the world and to develop a sense of identity and agency. Rowling Jones and Pratchett provide their readers with fantasies that are pleasurable and imaginative but far from encouraging escape from reality they convey important lessons about the complexities and challenges of the real world—and how these may be faced and solved. All three writers deploy the tropes and imaginative possibilities of fantasy to disturb challenge and enlarge the world of their readers. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138547858

Fantasy in Greek and Roman Literature Fantasy in Greek and Roman Literature offers an overview of Greek and Roman excursions into fantasy including imaginary voyages dream-worlds talking animals and similar impossibilities. This is a territory seldom explored and extends to rarely read texts such as the Aesop Romance The Battle of the Frogs and the Mice and The Pumpkinification of the Emperor Claudius. 　 Bringing this diverse material together for the first time Anderson widens readers’ perspectives on the realm of fantasy in ancient literature including topics such as dialogues with the dead Utopian communities and fantastic feasts. Going beyond the more familiar world of myth his examples range from The Golden Ass to the Late Antique Testament of a Pig. The volume also explores ancient resistance to the world of make-believe. 　 Fantasy in Greek and Roman Literature is an invaluable resource not only for students of classical and comparative literature but also for modern writers on fantasy who want to explore the genre’s origins in antiquity both in the more obvious and in lesser-known texts.

FantasyThe Literature of Subversion This study argues against vague interpretations of fantasy as mere escapism and seeks to define it as a distinct kind of narrative. A general theoretical section introduces recent work on fantasy notably Tzventan Todorov's The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre (1973). Dr Jackson however extends Todorov's ideas to include aspects of psychoanalytical theory. Seeing fantasy as primarily an expression of unconscious drives she stresses the importance of the writings of Freud and subsequent theorists when analysing recurrent themes such as doubling or multiplying selves mirror images metamorphosis and bodily disintegration.^l Gothic fiction classic Victorian fantasies the 'fantastic realism' of Dickens and Dostoevsky tales by Mary Shelley James Hogg E.T.A. Hoffmann George Eliot Henry James Joseph Conrad R.L. Stevenson Franz Kafka Mervyn Peake and Thomas Pynchon are among the texts covered. Through a reading of thse frequently disquieting works Dr Jackson moves towards a definition of fantasy expressing cultural unease. These issues are discussed in relation to a wide range of fantasies with varying images of desire and disenchantment. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138837126

Farce Farce has always been relegated to the lowest rung of the ladder of dramatic genres. Distinctions between farce and more literary comic forms remain clouded even in the light of contemporary efforts to rehabilitate this type of comedy. Is farce really nothing more than slapstick-the "putting out of candles kicking down of tables falling over joynt-stools " as Thomas Shadwell characterized it in the seventeenth century? Or was his contemporary Nahum Tate correct when he declared triumphantly that "there are no rules to be prescribed for that sort of wit no patterns to copy; and 'tis altogether the creature of imagination"? Davis shows farce to be an essential component in both the comedic and tragic traditions. Farce sets out to explore the territory of what makes farce distinct as a comic genre. Its lowly origins date back to the classic Graeco-Roman theatre; but when formal drama was reborn by the process of elaboration of ritual within the mediaeval Church the French term "farce" became synonymous with a recognizable style of comic performance. Taking a wide range of farces from the briefest and most basic of fair-ground mountebank performances to fully-fledged five-act structures from the late nineteenth century the book reveals the patterns of comic plot and counter-plot that are common to all. The result is a novel classification of farce-plots which serves to clarify the differences between farce and more literary comic forms and to show how quickly farce can shade into other styles of humor. The key is a careful balance between a revolt against order and propriety and a kind of Realpolitik which ultimately restores the social conventions under attack. A complex array of devices in such things as framing plot characterization timing and acting style maintain the delicate balance. Contemporary examples from the London stage bring the discussion up-to-date and reveal farce as a complex and potent comic form with its own history rules and traditions. Farce sheds light on the genre its history and usage in terms of dramatic critics. Davis examines the recurring themes in farcical comedies including rebellion revenge and coincidence. This classic work updated with a new introduction and 50% new material has been a staple of literary and humor studies libraries for years. It is part of the Transaction Series in Humor edited by Arthur Asa Berger. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523449

Farewell to FarmsDe-Agrarianisation and Employment in Africa First published in 1997 this volume asks whether Africa’s future is necessarily rooted in peasant agriculture. The title of this book Farewell to Farms is deliberately intended to challenge the widely held view that Africa is the world’s reserve for peasant farming. African rural populations are themselves moving away from a reliance on agriculture. ‘De-agrarianisation’ takes the form of urban migration as well as the expansion of non-agricultural activities in rural areas providing new income sources occupations and social identities for rural dwellers. Using recent continent-wide case study evidence the authors assess the impact of de-agrarianisation on household welfare business performance and national development. Their findings which reveal new economic trajectories and social patterns emerging from a period of accelerated change call into question assumptions about Africa’s future place in the world division of labour.

Farewell to the Leftist Working Class Social conflicts and voting patterns in Western nations indicate a gradual erosion of working-class support for the left a process that class theory itself cannot adequately explain. Farewell to the Leftist Working Class aims to fill this gap by developing testing and confirming an alternative explanation of rightist tendencies among the underprivileged. The authors argue that cultural issues revolving around individual liberty and maintenance of social order have become much more significant since World War II.The obligation to work and strict notions of deservingness have become central to the debate about the welfare state. Indeed although economic egalitarianism is more typically found among the working class it is only firmly connected to a universalistic and inclusionary progressive political ideology among the middle class.Farewell to the Leftist Working Class reports cutting-edge research into the withering away of working-class support for the left and the welfare state drawing mostly on survey data collected in Western Europe the United States and other Western countries.

Farm Management in Peasant Agriculture First published in 1972 Farm Management in Peasant Agriculture remains the only detailed discussion of on-site research techniques for economists working on the development of small-holder agriculture in Africa. Part 1 describes the conditions of the agricultural sector within which the African peasant farmer must operate and then outlines an approach to farm management tailored to those conditions. Part 2 sets out the research planning and investigation tasks implied by the approach. Survey techniques as well as the value of a pre-survey for understanding general attributes of a farm system are reviewed and alternative data-collection methods are elaborated. Part 3 shows how research data can be used in planning content for extension programs. Dr. Collinson concludes with the details of a planning method that interpolates changes in farm practice into a model of the existing farm system and that projects a sequence of changes representing a sequence of extension content on the basis of farmer acceptability.

Farmer Innovation in AfricaA Source of Inspiration for Agricultural Development One of Africa's major untapped resources is the creativity of its farmers. This book presents a series of clear and detailed studies that demonstrate how small-scale farmers both men and women experiment and innovate in order to improve their livelihoods despite the adverse conditions and lack of appropriate external support with which they have to contend. The studies are based on fieldwork in a wide variety of farming systems throughout Africa and have been written primarily by African researchers and extension specialists. Numerous lively examples show how a participatory approach to agricultural research and development that builds on local knowledge and innovation can stimulate the creativity of all involved - not only the farmers. This approach which recognizes the farmers' capacity to innovate as the crucial component of success provides a much-needed alternative to the conventional 'transfer of technology' paradigm. This book is a rich source of case studies and analyses of how agricultural research and development policy can be changed. It presents evidence of the resilience and resolution of rural communities in Africa and will be an inspiration for development workers researchers and policy-makers as well as for students and teachers of agriculture environment and sustainable development.

Farmers and Agriculture in the Roman Economy Often viewed as self-sufficient Roman farmers actually depended on markets to supply them with a wide range of goods and services from metal tools to medical expertise. However the nature extent and implications of their market interactions remain unclear. This monograph uses literary and archaeological evidence to examine how farmers – from smallholders to the owners of large estates – bought and sold lent and borrowed and cooperated as well as competed in the Roman economy. A clearer picture of the relationship between farmers and markets allows us to gauge their collective impact on and exposure to macroeconomic phenomena such as monetization and changes in the level and nature of demand for goods and labor. After considering the demographic and environmental context of Italian agriculture the author explores three interrelated questions: what goods and services did farmers purchase; how did farmers acquire the money with which to make those purchases; and what factors drove farmers’ economic decisions? This book provides a portrait of the economic world of the Roman farmer in late Republican and early Imperial Italy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367666224

Farmers and Plant BreedingCurrent Approaches and Perspectives This book presents the history of and current approaches to farmer-breeder collaboration in plant breeding situating this work in the context of sustainable food systems as well as national and international policy and law regimes. Plant breeding is essential to food production climate-change adaptation and sustainable development. This book brings together experienced practitioners and researchers involved in collaborative breeding programmes across a diversity of crops and agro-ecologies around the world. Case studies include collaborative sorghum and pearl millet breeding for water-stressed environments in West Africa participatory rice breeding for intensive rice farming in the Mekong Delta and evolutionary participatory quinoa breeding for organic agriculture in North America. While outlining the challenges the volume also highlights the positive impacts such as yield increases farmers’ empowerment in the innovation and development processes contributions to maintenance of crop genetic diversity and adaptation to climate change. This collection offers a range of perspectives on enabling conditions for farmer–breeder collaboration in plant breeding in relation to biodiversity agreements such as the Plant Treaty trade agreements and related intellectual property rights (IPR) regimes and national seed policies and laws. Relevant to a wide audience including practitioners with experience in plant breeding and management of crop genetic resources and those with a broader interest in agriculture and development as well as students of international cooperation and development this volume is a timely addition to the literature.

Farmers' Cooperatives and Sustainable Food Systems in Europe Farmers' cooperatives are very prevalent in the European Union where they account for approximately half of agricultural trade and thus are key to articulating rural realities and in shaping the sustainability credentials of European food and farming. This book analyses to what extent farmers' cooperatives are working to benefit their members are showing concern for their communities and are promoting cooperative economies. It offers a multilevel set of theoretical disciplinary methodological empirical and social perspectives using the UK and Spain as contrasting examples and analyses whether agricultural cooperatives contribute to achieving sustainable food systems. The book presents empirical data from diverse and rich case studies  from large international cooperatives to small multi-stakeholder initiatives. This provides an alternative viewpoint to that of economics which tends to dominate the study of agricultural cooperatives. The author presents a new theoretical framework that provides a novel lens to study farmers’ cooperatives as organisations deeply embedded in power dynamics of the food system and agricultural policy that shape and constraint their potential to adopt cooperative and sustainable practices. The book is a major addition to the study of agricultural cooperatives and their impact in the development of fairer and more sustainable food systems and it is one of the first detailed accounts of multi-stakeholder food and farming cooperatives in Europe. It is a valuable resource for all scholars working on cooperatives as well as for students studying agricultural and food policy environmental justice and rural sociology.

Farmers' Crop Varieties and Farmers' RightsChallenges in Taxonomy and Law Over the last 50 years there has been a growing appreciation of the important role that farmers play in the development and conservation of crop genetic diversity and the contribution of that diversity to agro-ecosystem resilience and food security. This book examines policies that aim to increase the share of benefits that farmers receive when others use the crop varieties that they have developed and managed i.e. ‘farmers varieties’. In so doing the book addresses two fundamental questions. The first question is ‘how do farmer management practices â€“ along with other factors such as environment and the breeding systems of plants â€“ affect the evolution and maintenance of discrete farmers’ varieties?’ The second question is ‘how can policies that depend on being able to identify discrete plant varieties accommodate the agricultural realities associated with the generation use and maintenance of farmers’ varieties?’ This focus on discreteness is topical because there are no fixed internationally recognized taxonomic or legal definitions of farmers’ varieties. And that presents a challenge when developing policies that involve making specific discrete farmers’ varieties the subject of legal rights or privileges. The book includes contributions from a wide range of experts including agronomists anthropologists geneticists biologists plant breeders lawyers development practitioners activists and farmers. It includes case studies from Asia Africa Latin America and Europe where in response to a diversity of contributing factors there have been efforts to develop policies that provide incentives or rewards to farmers as stewards of farmers’ varieties in ways that are sensitive to the cultural taxonomic and legal complexities involved. The book situates these initiatives in the context of the evolving discourse and definition of ‘farmers' rights’ presenting insights for future policy initiatives.

Farmers’ Suicides in IndiaA Policy Malignancy This book locates the malignant causes behind the factors leading to farmers’ suicides in India. It argues that not only a combination of innovative managerial and economic policies is required to make farming profitable but also food production within the carrying capacity of soil water forests and economic and social resources must still be maintained. It brings together diverse themes such as farming development and suicide statistics as well as the developmental inertia evident in farmers’ welfare policy history. The book stresses the need to go beyond the narrow crop economics of minimum support price utility and towards recognizing the farm household economic nature of farming reinventing the uniqueness of farmers as a productive class engaged in converting cosmic elements into food and adopting the budgetary support approach to bail out the farmers from the suicidal debt-multiplying production support approach.Lucid and topical this book will be useful to scholars and researchers of political studies political sociology agricultural economics political economy public policy sociology agrarian and rural development studies as also to policy analysts governmental bodies and civil society activists.

Farming Fascism and EcologyA life of Jorian Jenks The life of Jorian Jenks (1899-1963) has great potential to upset settled assumptions. Why did a sensitive and intelligent　man from a liberal family become a fascist? How did a Blackshirt go green? The son of an eminent academic from his childhood onwards Jenks instead longed to farm. Lacking the means to do so he worked as a farm bailiff and then in New Zealand as a government agricultural instructor. Finally a legacy permitted him to come home and become a tenant farmer. Struggling to survive in the economic depression of the 1930s he became an author and activist for rural reconstruction. Then having lost faith in the established parties he joined the British Union of Fascists. Becoming one of the Blackshirts’ leading figures he was imprisoned without trial during the war. On his release Jenks returned to the struggle this time in the cause of ecology becoming a pioneer of today’s organic movement and a founder of the Soil Association. This book draws on an extensive range of sources a large proportion of which were previously unseen by historians. For the first time it portrays the private and public life of this unusual man revealing many hitherto un-glimpsed facets of Jenks’ life. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138688629

Far-Right FantasyA Sociology of American Religion and Politics Far-Right Fantasy is a straight-forward jargon-free study of contemporary American right-wing extremism. Accessible to both professional and lay audiences it allows activists to speak for themselves in their own words. It takes the self-announced religious motivations of extremists seriously and illustrates this by citing numerous cases of radical politics. The book addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the standard psycho-social-cultural explanations of far-right activism. It shows how extremists are similar educationally and psychologically to their more conventional neighbors; that they get into the movement in the same way that others become peace activists or radical environmentalists namely through their ties with fellow workers and church-goers family members and classmates; and that their views are given a patina of certainty by being repeatedly corroborated within closed non-contaminated communication systems. The book avoids being preachy or judgmental but it does try to challenge readers morally by submitting far-right fantasy to a formal ideology critique. It does this by showing how the reforms it recommends – a marketplace free of regulation draconian immigration restrictions; an end to the federal reserve bank and the income tax; a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution; anti-union "right to work" laws and a return to debt slavery; the privatization of schools the post office and the commons and so on – contradict its ostensible goal which is to protect and enhance middle class interests. Far-Right Fantasy is suitable for adoption as a supplemental text in political psychology and sociology sociologies of religion and knowledge collective behavior and American political history.

Fascism Populism and American Democracy Hard right-wing politics is growing in popularity in America marked by Donald Trump’s success in the 2016 election and it is worth questioning what this means for the American democratic system. This book seeks to explain the vulnerability of democracies to the appeal of right-wing politics through a contemporary case study of the US and how democracies are possibly under threat from a conflict between popular attitudes and institutional paralysis. Various forms of American right-wing extremism are examined here such as the alt-right the radical right and the Religious right but their perceived relevance to Trump’s victory is questioned. Even still this book asks the question: can the far-right prevail under the American way? Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138063754

Fascism Totalitarianism and Political Religion 9/11 and its aftermath demonstrate the urgent need for political scientists and historians to unravel the tangled relationship of secular ideologies and organized religions to political fanaticism. This major new volume uses a series of case studies by world experts to further our understanding of these complex issues. They examine the connections between fascism political religion and totalitarianism by exploring two inter-war fascist regimes two abortive European movements and two post-war American extreme right-wing movements with contrasting religious components. A highlight of this collection is a fresh article from Emilio Gentile recently awarded an international prize for his contributions to our appreciation of the central role played by political religion in the modern age. This is preceded by an editorial essay by Roger Griffin one of fascist studies' most original thinkers. Alongside these contributions the reader is presented with a wealth of work that redefines the complex concept of 'totalitarian movement' and our understanding of generic Fascism. Taken as a whole  it comprehensively analyses the links between particular totalitarian movements and regimes and the concrete historical phenomena produced in the light of current radical theories of fascism totalitarianism and political religion. This book will be of great interest to all students and scholars of international relations politics and contemporary history. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203320624

Fascism and IdeologyItaly Britain and Norway This book develops a number of new conceptual tools to tackle some of the most hotly debated issues concerning the nature of fascism using three profoundly different national contexts in the inter-war years as case studies: Italy Britain and Norway. It explores how fascist ideology was the result of a sustained struggle between competing internal factions which created a precarious but also highly dynamic balance between revolutionary/totalitarian and conservative/authoritarian tendencies. Such a balance meant that these movements were hybrids with a surprising degree of internal diversity which cannot be explained away as simple opportunism or lack of ideological substance. The book's focus on fascist ideology's internal variety and aggregative potential leads it to argue that when fascism "succeeded " this was less an effect of its revolutionary ideas than of the opposite – namely its power to integrate elements from other pre-existing ideologies. Given the prevailing opinion that fascism is revolutionary by definition the book ultimately poses a challenge to the dominant view in the field of fascist studies.

Fascism and the MassesThe Revolt Against the Last Humans 1848-1945 Highlighting the "mass" nature of interwar European fascism has long become commonplace. Throughout the years numerous critics have construed fascism as a phenomenon of mass society perhaps the ultimate expression of mass politics. This study deconstructs this long-standing perception. It argues that the entwining of fascism with the masses is a remarkable transubstantiation of a movement which understood and presented itself as a militant rejection of the ideal of mass politics and indeed of mass society and mass culture more broadly conceived. Thus rather than "massifying" society fascism was the culmination of a long effort on the part of the élites and the middle-classes to de-massify it. The perennially menacing mass – seen as plebeian and insubordinate – was to be drilled into submission replaced by supposedly superior collective entities such as the nation the race or the people. Focusing on Italian fascism and German National Socialism but consulting fascist movements and individuals elsewhere in interwar Europe the book incisively shows how fascism is best understood as ferociously resisting what Elias referred to as "the civilizing process" and what Marx termed "the social individual." Fascism notably was a revolt against what Nietzsche described as the peaceful middling and egalitarian "Last Humans." Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367893064

Fascism and the Right in Europe 1919-1945 This new text places interwar European fascism squarely in its historical context and analyses its relationship with other right wing authoritarian movements and regimes. Beginning with the ideological roots of fascism in pre-1914 Europe Martin Blinkhorn turns to the problem-torn Europe of 1919 to 1939 in order to explain why fascism emerged and why in some settings it flourished while in others it did not. In doing so he considers not just the 'major' fascist movements and regimes of Italy and Germany but the entire range of fascist and authoritarian ideas movements and regimes present in the Europe of 1919-1945.

Fascism in Europe What was fascism why did it gain support between the wars and could it happen again? This collection of essays published in 1981 by leading authorities on the subject offers a comprehensive study of European fascism with a detailed analysis of its roots its extraordinary strength between the two world wars and its prospects in modern Europe. The essays discuss the economic political and social conditions out of which individual fascist movements arose the crucial problem of why a few fascist parties succeeded but most failed. The essays on Italy Germany and Spain examine the continuities and contradictions between the fascist movements in opposition and the fascist regimes in power. The introductory and conclusive essays are concerned with the overall problem of the historical nature of the fascist phenomenon but all the papers address themselves directly to this theme testing the generalizations made by social scientists against the historical experiences of individual countries. Besides Italy and Germany which harboured the major fascist movements the countries discussed range from those with traditional parliamentary democracies – such as England France Belgium and Norway – to the new states which emerged from the collapse of the central European empires such as Austria Hungary Romania and Poland. Originally published in 1968 under the title European Fascism this survey acquired a worldwide reputation for its excellent and wide-ranging account of the history role and functions of fascism in Europe. The present edition contains six new or wholly re-written essays and three substantially revised ones. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138938465

Fascism Old and NewAmerican Politics at the Crossroads Deep historical trends suggest the United States could be moving toward a distinctly novel form of fascism embracing elements of the historical phenomenon as it appeared in such countries as Italy Germany Japan and Spain while departing in significant ways. A twenty-first century fascism would hardly be revolutionary or totalitarian as it would involve no dramatic break with the past following a logic of continuity and building on firmaments of entrenched power going back to World War II. This new type of fascist regime would be driven by a tightening confluence of sectoral interests in American society: corporate state military and cultural – interests favoring oligarchy authoritarianism the warfare system and surveillance order within an expanding globalized matrix of power. The dominant historical forces emphasized by such theorists as C. Wright Mills (The Power Elite) and Sheldon Wolin (Democracy Inc.) an important foundation of this book have grown stronger and more pervasive across the decades. An integrated power structure has been fueled by new advances in technology a money-saturated political system and neoliberal globalism bolstered by the spread of right wing populism that among other things has catapulted Donald Trump into the U.S. presidency.　 In this book Carl Boggs explores new political and ideological terrain in systematically considering the prospects for a gradual development of fascism in contemporary American society and by extension elsewhere across the advanced industrial world. He persuasively argues that modern fascistic trends arguably most visible in the U.S. demonstrate a closer affinity with Mussolini’s Italy (corporate state) than with the more extreme Nazi German model of tyranny and genocide.　　 A very timely scholarly enterprise this book will be of interest to students of contemporary radical politics fascism more broadly US political history ideologies and party politics.

FascismAn Informal Introduction to Its Theory and Practice For Italian intellectuals the terms fascist and antifascist continue to be the hard currency of contemporary political debate. When Professor Renzo de Felice suggests that fascism describes a moment in the Italian past--and only that--he is challenging the very heart of current orthodoxy. His ideas about fascism have a broad significance and represent a radical departure from conventional wisdom. This book remains important because of de Felice's vast knowledge of fascism and rigorous historical analysis. This dialogue between de Felice and American scholar Michael Ledeen ranges from empirical research on the history of Mussolini and the Fascist Regime in Italy to seeking a definition of fascism and determining its general characteristics.

Fascist in the FamilyThe Tragedy of John Beckett M.P. John Beckett was a rising political star. Elected as Labour's youngest M.P. in 1924 he was constantly in the news and tipped for greatness. But ten years later he was propaganda chief for Mosley’s fascists and one of Britain’s three best known anti-Semites. Yet his mother whom he loved was a Jew.　 Her ancestors were Solomons Isaacs and Jacobsons originally from Prussia. He successfully hid his Jewish ancestry all his life – he said his mother’s family were "fisher folk from the east coast." His son the author of this book acclaimed political biographer and journalist Francis Beckett did not discover the truth until John Beckett had been dead for years. He left Mosley and founded the National Socialist League with William Joyce later Lord Haw Haw and spent the war years in prison considered a danger to the war effort. For the rest of his life and all of Francis Beckett’s childhood John Beckett and his family were closely watched by the security services. Their devious machinations traced in records only recently released damaged chiefly his young family. This is a fascinating and brutally honest account of a troubled man in turbulent times.

Fashion Over the last forty years or so academic interest in fashion has burgeoned and since the 1970s at least attempts to define analyse and critically explain fashion phenomena have become vital areas of research and study in almost all disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. As serious academic work on and around the theory and practice of fashion continues to flourish as never before this new title in the Routledge Major Works series Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature and to provide a map of the area as it has emerged and developed. It is a landmark collection of foundational and the best cutting-edge scholarship in the field and is organized in four volumes. What is meant by fashion? Volume I provides a conspectus of some of the most important definitions and philosophies of fashion. The philosophical sources of the various senses of the word ‘fashion’ in the work of Kant and Adam Smith for example are represented here. Volume II examines the many ways in which analysts have tried to make sense of the incredible variety of things that people wear. One of the simplest ways of doing this is to describe and classify those things. A slightly more sophisticated approach has been to attempt an analysis of them. Volume II presents the best of both the descriptive and analytical approaches to the understanding of fashion. In addition to describing and analysing fashion many scholars and other thinkers have tried to account for the very possibility of fashion. The critical task of explaining what makes fashion possible may be described as answering the question ‘Why does this item of clothing look the way it does?’ and it demands social cultural economic and political answers. Volume III therefore collects the pre-eminent and most influential work to explore and explain what people wear. From whence does our individual and personal identity spring? Is it even appropriate in an age of mass fashion to think of ourselves as having individual identities? Volume IV gathers the essential scholarship which addresses these and other hotly contested questions about identity image and performance that are raised by postmodern critical analyses of fashion. Fashion is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415462334

Fashion Interior Design and the Contours of Modern Identity Challenging the notion that fashion and furniture were or are separate enterprises and distinct material aesthetic traditions this collection focuses on three material and conceptual links central to understanding the relationship between interior design and fashion-the body fabric and space. The volume considers the changing visual material and spatial character methodological challenges posed by and formal political and historiographical significance of a wide range of British European and North American case studies since the eighteenth century. The volume's eleven case studies allow the reader to understand connecting notions behind the formation of interiors and fashionable clothing. The essays combine a wide range of significant and challenging new examples alongside powerful reversionary analyses of the various periods artists designers and their best and significant objects. Fashion Interior Design and the Contours of Modern Identity is concerned not only with fabric but also with the body and the implications of embodiment in the practices of both design domains which are equally invested in the comfort aesthetic pleasure extension and support of the body in different and yet seemingly identical ways.

Fashion and Masculinities in Popular Culture Popular culture in the latter half of the twentieth century precipitated a decisive change in style and body image. Postwar film television radio shows pulp fiction and comics placed heroic types firmly within public consciousness. This book concentrates on these heroic male types as they have evolved from the postwar era and their relationship to fashion to the present day. As well as demonstrating the role of male icons in contemporary society this book’s originality also lies in showing the many gender slippages that these icons help to effect or expose. It is by exploring the somewhat inviolate types accorded to contemporary masculinity that we see the very fragility of a stable or rounded male identity.

Fashion and Narrative in Victorian Popular LiteratureDouble Threads We know that way we dress says a lot about us. It’s drilled into us by our parents as children as adults throughout our working lives and eternally from the culture surrounding us. Our dress tells the outside world of the culture and era we come from to our social status within that culture. Our dress can be telling of our political views religious beliefs sexuality and countless other identifying traits that we can keep hidden or show to the world by our choice of what to wear when heading venturing out. This was absolutely true famously so in the Victorian Era in which men and women alike wore their status on their often lavish embellished sleeves. In her new book Dr. Madeleine Seyes explores Victorian culture through the lens of fashion in her new book Double Threads: Fashion and Victorian Popular Literature which sits at the intersection of the fields of Victorian literary studies dress and material cultural studies feminist literary criticism and gender and sexuality studies.

Fashion Design for Living Fashion Design for Living explores the positive contribution that the contemporary fashion designer can make within society. The book seeks to reveal new ways of designing and making fashion garments and products that not only enhance and enrich our lives but also are mindful of social and sustainable issues. This book sets out to question and challenge the dominant conventional process of fashion design that as a practice has been under-researched. While the fashion designer in industry is primarily concerned with the creation of the new seasonal collection designed produced and measured by economically driven factors society increasingly expects the designer to make a positive contribution to our social environmental and cultural life. Consequently an emergent set of designers and research-based practitioners are beginning to explore new ways to think about fashion designing. The contributors within this book argue that fashion designing should move beyond developing garments that are just aesthetically pleasing or inexpensive but also begin to consider and respond to the wearer's experiences wellbeing problems desires and situations and their engagement with and use of a garment. Fashion Design for Living champions new approaches to fashion practice by uncovering a rich and diverse set of views and reflective experiences which explore the changing role of the fashion designer and inspire fresh innovative and creative responses to fashion and the world we live in.

Fashionability Exhibition Culture and Gender PoliticsFair Women Fair Women was the Victorian equivalent of a ‘blockbuster’ exhibition. Organised by a committee of women it opened to great fanfare in the Grafton Galleries in London and was comprised of both historical and contemporary portraits of women as well as decorative objects. Meaghan Clarke argues that the exhibition challenged contemporary assumptions about the representation of women and the superficiality of female collectors. The Fair Women phenomenon complicated gender stereotypes and foregrounded women as cultural arbiters. This book uncovers a wide range of texts and images to reveal that Fair Women brought together fashion modernity and gender politics in new and surprising ways. It shows that while invariably absent in institutional histories women were vital to the development of the modern blockbuster exhibition. This book will be of interest to scholars in art and gender studies museum studies feminist art history women artists and art history. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138493568

Fashioning Childhood in the Eighteenth CenturyAge and Identity This innovative collection of essays re-examines conventional ideas of the history of childhood exploring the child's increasing prominence in eighteenth-century discourse and the establishment of the category of age as a marker of social distinction alongside race class and gender. While scholars often approach childhood within the context of a single nation this collection takes a comparative approach examining the child in British German and French contexts and demonstrating the mutual influences between the Continent and Great Britain in the conceptualization of childhood. Covering a wide range of subjects from scientific and educational discourses on the child and controversies over the child's legal status and leisure activities to the child as artist and consumer the essays shed light on well-known novels like Tristram Shandy and Tom Jones as well as on less-familiar texts such as periodicals medical writings trial reports and schoolbooks. Articles on visual culture show how eighteenth-century discourses on childhood are reflected in representations of the child by illustrators and portraitists. The international group of contributors including Peter Borsay Patricia Crown Bernadette Fort Brigitte Glaser Klaus Peter Jochum Dorothy Johnson and Peter Sabor represent the disciplines of history literature and art and reflect the collection's commitment to interdisciplinarity. The volume's unique range of topics makes it essential reading for students and scholars concerned with the history and representation of childhood in eighteenth-century culture.

Fashioning Identities in Renaissance Art This title was first published in 2000:  Fashioning Identities analyses some of the different ways in which identities were fashioned in and with art during the Renaissance taken as meaning the period c.1300-1600. The notion of such a search for new identities expressed in a variety of new themes styles and genres has been all-pervasive in the historical and critical literature dealing with the period starting with Burckhardt and it has been given a new impetus by contemporary scholarship using a variety of methodological approaches. The identities involved are those of patrons for whom artistic patronage was a means of consolidating power projecting ideologies acquiring social prestige or building a suitable public persona; and artists who developed a distinctive manner to fashion their artistic identity or drew attention to aspects of their artistic personality either in self portraiture or the style and placing of their signature or by exploiting a variety of literary forms. Several papers also attend to the fashioning of identities and meanings in Renaissance art by the spectator or critic and the ways in which these might or might not differ from those that were intended by the patron or artist. Though several of the studies deal with relatively little known material from Ferrara Brescia or Tudor England the majority aim to treat well known artists and works such as Giotto Michelangelo or Cellini in a fresh way. Most of the essays are based on papers given at the conference of the Association of Art Historians held in 1998. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138712812

Fashioning MasculinityNational Identity and Language in the Eighteenth Century The fashioning of English gentlemen in the eighteenth century was modelled on French practices of sociability and conversation. Michele Cohen shows how at the same time the English constructed their cultural relations with the French as relations of seduction and desire. She argues that this produced anxiety on the part of the English over the effect of French practices on English masculinity and the virtue of English women. By the end of the century representing the French as an effeminate other was integral to the forging of English masculine national identity. Michele Cohen examines the derogation of women and the French which accompanied the emergent 'masculine' English identity. While taciturnity became emblematic of the English gentleman's depth of mind and masculinity sprightly conversation was seen as representing the shallow and inferior intellect of English women and the French of both sexes. Michele Cohen also demonstrates how visible evidence of girls' verbal and language learning skills served only to construe the female mind as inferior. She argues that this perception still has currency today. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415756396

Fashioning TeenagersA Cultural History of Seventeen Magazine Founded in 1944 by Helen Valentine Seventeen magazine was the first modern “teen magazine.” An immediate success it became iconic in establishing the tastes and behaviors of successive generation of teen girls covering the last half of the 20th century. Kelley Massoni has written the first cultural history of the origins of Seventeen and its role in shaping the modern teen girl ideal. Using content analysis interviews letters oral histories and promotional materials Massoni is able to show how Seventeen helped create the modern concept of “teenager.” The early Seventeen provided a generation of thinking young women with information on citizenship and clothing politics and popularity adult occupations and adolescent preoccupations until economic and social forces converged to reshape the magazine toward teen consumerism. A chapter on the 21st century Seventeen brings the story to the present. Fashioning Teenagers will be of interest to students of popular culture sociology gender studies mass media journalism business and American studies. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315428536

FashionNew Feminist Essays Inspired by a rapidly changing fashion landscape Fashion: New Feminist Essays offers historical and contemporary studies that reveal the relationships between fashion with gender sexuality race and age. Fashion is a rich terrain for feminist scholars in the twenty-first century. Explicit engagements with feminist and queer politics critical interventions by industry outsiders across digital platforms diversifying images of stylish bodies and ongoing discussions of the ethics and sustainability of fashion production: all of these point to an urgent need to reappraise the relationship of fashion to feminism and other justice-seeking movements. The essays in this collection take up fashion as a feminist critical tool that uniquely holds together the lived and represented body with larger cultural structures. Contributors unearth surprising new lines of connection between gender sexuality race age and religion in their relationship to capitalism both historically and in the present. Bringing together established and emerging scholars and perspectives from gender studies history sociology philosophy and literary studies Fashion: New Feminist Essays traces the far-reaching impact of this most feminized of forms underscoring the significance of fashion studies for understanding the politics of culture.

Fashions in Management ResearchAn Empirical Analysis Published in 1999 this text sets out to analyze fashions in management literature through studying patterns in the citations offered to leading management authors. Particular attention is paid to those publications which are cited extensively but only for a short period - these publications are regarded as potentially subject to fashionable pressures. More detailed case studies of fashionable publications are undertaken to gain a greater understanding of what factors may lead to management fashions. The book represents a large-scale empirical analysis of management fashions and culminates in an empirically validated theory of management fashions.

Fast Childcare in Public PreschoolsThe Utopia of Efficiency Fast Childcare in Public Preschools presents an ethnographic examination of the implementation of fast-policy management models and the efforts of teachers to use these to improve their work organization and the frictions this brings. Using examples from Swedish public preschools the book focuses on essential areas of the Lean management model in particular bringing to life concepts relating to the care and education of children. The book draws on international childcare policy and public reforms exploring the assignments that preschools are set and argues that separating the pedagogical and the organizational as suggested by proponents of management models is not possible.This book considers Jamie Peck and Nik Theodore’s work on ‘fast policy’ and ‘model power’ and analyzes the tensions between the easy-to-use and difficult-to-use in management models. The model form of Lean’s management model rendered it difficult to align with existing childcare policy pedagogical models and the organization of a preschool. The book explores the utopian dimension of a modern project in pursuit of efficiency and speed in relation to the Lean model and the preschool teachers’ work by asking ‘what are the wider societal implications of the Lean project in preschools?’Fast Childcare in Public Preschools will be of great interest to cultural anthropologists qualitative sociologists and political scientists and organizational researchers interested in the anthropology of policy.

Fast ForwardLatin America on the Edge of the 21st Century Latin America is developing rapidly. As the authors see the region a small group of countries has found a fast-forward button. In these countries change is exciting occurring at such a rapid pace that a major breakthrough hi economic growth appears within grasp. After an almost decade-long period of recession and stagnation many Latin American economies now have elected governments. With a few exceptions most have also improved their socioeconomic conditions beyond meeting basic human needs. Yet few North Americans or Europeans are aware of these advances. How does Latin America fit into the changing world in the 1990s and why should someone living in the United States Europe or developed parts of the Pacific Basin care?Fast Forward shows that Latin America's economic renaissance clearly has implications for a post-Cold War world order. Latin America is starting to make important contributions particularly in the areas of international diplomacy economics and culture. Collectively Latin Americans now demonstrate a coherent collective will about where they wish to take themselves. This does not mean that U.S. influence in the Americas will soon disappear but that new challenges in the international system will force greater equity in Western Hemisphere relationships.While Latin America in the 1990s offers much to be excited about the authors caution that there are dangers in being too enthusiastic. The always-present potential for top-down authoritarian approaches must temper enthusiasm about a better Latin American future. Despite this the authors see a well-defined departure from past economic modes occurring and the potential for a higher level of development for some countries. This book is for economists sociologists and political scientists interested in economic and political development and researchers interested in Latin America in particular.

Fast Light Slow Light and Left-Handed Light The propagation of light in dispersive media is a subject of fundamental as well as practical importance. In recent years attention has focused in particular on how refractive index can vary with frequency in such a way that the group velocities of optical pulses can be much greater or much smaller than the speed of light in vacuum or in which the refractive index can be negative. Treating these topics at an introductory to intermediate level Fast Light Slow Light and Left-Handed Light focuses on the basic theory and describes the significant experimental progress made during the past decade. The book pays considerable attention to the fact that superluminal group velocities are not in conflict with special relativity and to the role of quantum effects in preventing superluminal communication and violations of Einstein causality. It also explores some of the basic physics at the opposite extreme of very slow group velocities as well as stopped and regenerated light including the concepts of electromagnetically induced transparency and dark-state polaritons. Another very active aspect of the subject discussed concerns the possibility of designing metamaterials in which the refractive index can be negative and propagating light is left-handed in the sense that the phase and group velocities are in opposite directions. The last two chapters are an introduction to some of the basic theory and consequences of negative refractive index with emphasis on the seminal work carried out since 2000. The possibility that "perfect" lenses can be made from negative-index metamaterials-which has been perhaps the most controversial aspect of the field-is introduced and discussed in some detail.

Fast Solvers for Mesh-Based Computations Fast Solvers for Mesh-Based Computations presents an alternative way of constructing multi-frontal direct solver algorithms for mesh-based computations. It also describes how to design and implement those algorithms. The book’s structure follows those of the matrices starting from tri-diagonal matrices resulting from one-dimensional mesh-based methods through multi-diagonal or block-diagonal matrices and ending with general sparse matrices. Each chapter explains how to design and implement a parallel sparse direct solver specific for a particular structure of the matrix. All the solvers presented are either designed from scratch or based on previously designed and implemented solvers. Each chapter also derives the complete JAVA or Fortran code of the parallel sparse direct solver. The exemplary JAVA codes can be used as reference for designing parallel direct solvers in more efficient languages for specific architectures of parallel machines. The author also derives exemplary element frontal matrices for different one- two- or three-dimensional mesh-based computations. These matrices can be used as references for testing the developed parallel direct solvers. Based on more than 10 years of the author’s experience in the area this book is a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students who would like to learn how to design and implement parallel direct solvers for mesh-based computations.

Fasten Your Seatbelt: The Passenger is Flying the Plane Fasten Your Seatbelt: The Passenger is Flying the Plane is the fourth in a series written at the encouragement of practitioners in the global airline industry. Core customers are beginning to seize control of the direction of the industry from airline management. Customers are doing so due to deep dissatisfaction with what is being offered by traditional carriers across all areas including network product price customer service and the distribution system. New airlines have clearly focused business designs with the discipline to reject non-valued products or services. In the US new airlines score higher in customer satisfaction offering lower fares and making larger operating profits. This book is about customer behaviour and how to address it. It provides detailed but easy-to-read practical discussion of the changes required on the part of airline management not only to think boldly but also to execute courageously and relentlessly ground-breaking strategies to fly ahead of their customers. As with previous books written by Nawal Taneja the primary audience continues to be senior level practitioners within the global airline industry - in both traditional carrier and low complexity carrier segments. The approach is impartial candid and pragmatic based on what is happening in the actual market place rather than theoretical business models. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138383685

Faster Better Cheaper in the History of ManufacturingFrom the Stone Age to Lean Manufacturing and Beyond The industrial revolution mechanization water and steam power computers and automation have given an enormous boost to manufacturing productivity. "Faster Better Cheaper" in the History of Manufacturing shows how the ability to make products faster better and cheaper has evolved from the stone age to modern times. It explains how different developments over time have raised efficiency and allowed the production of more and better products with less effort and materials and hence faster better and cheaper. In addition it describes the stories of inventors entrepreneurs and industrialists and looks at the intersection between technology society machines materials management and – most of all – humans. "Faster Better Cheaper" in the History of Manufacturing follows this development throughout the ages. This book covers not only the technical aspects (mechanization power sources new materials interchangeable parts electricity automation) but organizational innovations (division of labor Fordism Talyorism Lean). Most of all it is a story of the people that invented manufactured and marketed the products. The book shows how different developments over time raised efficiency and allowed production of more with less effort and materials which brought us a large part of the wealth and prosperity we enjoy today. The stories of real inventors and industrialists are told which includes not only their successes but also their problems and failures. The effect of good or bad management on manufacturing is a recurring theme in many chapters as is the fight for intellectual property through thrilling tales of espionage. This is a story of successes and failures. It is not only about technology but also about social aspects. Ultimately it is not a book about machines but about people!

Fat In contemporary western societies the fat body has become a focus of stigmatizing discourses and practices aimed at disciplining regulating and containing it. Despite the fact that in many western countries fat bodies outnumber those that are thin fat people are still socially marginalized and treated with derision and even repulsion and disgust. Medical and public health experts continue to insist that an ‘obesity epidemic’ exists and that fatness is a pathological condition which should be prevented and controlled. Fat is a book about why the fat body has become so reviled and reviewed as diseased the target of such intense discussion and debate about ways to reduce its size down to socially and medically acceptable dimensions. It is about the lived experience of fat embodiment: how does it feel to be fat in a fat phobic-society? Fat activism and obesity politics and related controversies are also discussed. Internationally-renowned sociologist Deborah Lupton explores fat as a sociocultural artefact: a bodily substance or body shape that is given meaning by complex and shifting systems of ideas practices emotions material objects and interpersonal relationships. This analysis identifies broader preoccupations and trends in the ways that human bodies and selfhood are experienced and practised. The second and much expanded edition of Fat is twice as long as the original edition. Lupton incorporates the very latest current critical scholarship and research offered in the humanities and social sciences on fat embodiment and fat politics. New updated material is presented in every chapter including substantial additional sections on new digital media. Fat is a lively at times provocative introduction for the general reader as well as for students and academics interested in the politics of embodiment and health.

Fat LivesA Feminist Psychological Exploration Ever caught somebody – or yourself – checking out the content of a ‘fat’ person’s supermarket trolley? Ever wondered what lies behind this behaviour or what it might be like to be at the receiving end of this judging gaze? Within the context of the current ‘obesity debate’ this book investigates the embodied experience of ‘being large’ from a critical psychological perspective. Using poststructuralist and feminist theories the author explores the discourses available to and used by self-designated ‘fat’ individuals as well as the societal power relationships that are produced by these. Using the issues of body size and ‘fat’ as an illustration the book describes the benefits of exploring psychological and social matters from a poststructuralist perspective and the dangers inherent in taking reductionist approaches to public health and other social issues. As such this book should be of particular interest to anyone working within the disciplines of psychology sociology and health studies as well as those involved in the study of health gender issues and appearance.

Fat ReligionProtestant Christianity and the Construction of the Fat Body Fat Religion: Protestant Christianity and the Construction of the Fat Body explores how Protestant Christianity contributes to the moralization of fat bodies and the proliferation of practices to conform fat bodies to thin ideals. Focusing primarily on Protestant Christianity and evangelicalism this book brings together essays that emphasize the role of religion in the ways that we imagine talk about and moralize fat bodies. Contributors explore how ideas about indulgence and restraint sin and obedience are used to create and maintain fear of and animosity towards fat bodies. They also examine how religious ideology and language shape attitudes towards bodily control that not only permeate Christian weight-loss programs but are fundamental to secular diet culture as well. Furthermore the contributors investigate how religious institutions themselves attempt to define and control the proper religious body. This volume contributes to the burgeoning field of critical fat studies by underscoring the significance of religion in the formation of historical and contemporary meanings and perceptions of fat bodies including its moralizing role in justifying weight bias prejudice and privilege.

Fatal Errors; or Poor Mary-Anne. A Tale of the Last Centuryby Elizabeth Hays Lanfear In December 2015 a novel by Elizabeth Hays (c. 1765-1825) that has eluded scholars of women novelists of the 1790s for more than a century was finally discovered in the British Library. Fatal Errors was written in the late 1790s by the sister of Mary Hays but not published until 1819 under her married name Lanfear and has therefore been completely overlooked until now. There has been considerable interest in the missing novel since we know that Mary Wollstonecraft read and commented on a version of the manuscript in 1796 but it was presumed never to have been published. Now this missing piece of the conversation of the Hays-Wollstonecraft-Godwin circle has been located this modern critical edition of Fatal Errors contributes both to our knowledge of this network of radical writers and thinkers and to our understanding of the trajectory of women’s fiction and the Jacobin novel.

Fate Glory and Love in Early Modern Gallery DecorationVisualizing Supreme Power Analysing the decorative programmes of the most opulent European palaces of the time Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöf investigates how meaning was conveyed through display and visual effects. She explores the visual meaning inherent in the scheme of spatial relations; in effects of scale perspective lighting figures' positions and postures; and in relations among image types. The analysis concerns the interrelations of various kinds of images in the ensembles; the relations between images and physical site; and the address to the beholder. Lagerlöf considers the visual impact of the imagery in conjunction with 'readable' or symbolically 'coded' meanings; thus the study does not merely subject these decorations to formalist aesthetic principles. She shows the visual meaning generally to sustain the verbal or readable messages but often in subtle ways extending or elaborating the meaning. Occasionally the visual meaning comes forth as an undercurrent or complication deviating from the proclaimed and symbolic meaning. Fate Glory and Love in Early Modern Gallery Decoration contributes to the body of scholarship on visual rhetoric and on how images 'act' out their messages.

Fate Honor Family and VillageDemographic and Cultural Change in Rural Italy Since 1800 The Italian peasantry has often been described as tragic backward hopeless downtrodden static and passive. In Fate and Honor Family and Village Rudolph Bell argues against this characterization by reconstructing the complete demographic history of four country villages since 1800. He analyzes births marriages and deaths in terms of four concepts that capture more accurately and sympathetically the essence of the Italian peasant's life: Fortuna (fate) onore (honor dignity) famiglia (family) and campanilismo (village).Fortuna is the cultural wellspring of Italian peasant society the worldview from which all social life flows. The concept of Fortuna does not refer to philosophical questions predestination or value judgments. Rather Fortuna is the sum total of all explanations of outcomes perceived to be beyond human control. Thus in Bell's view high mortality does not lead peasants to a resigned acceptance of their fate; instead they rely on honor reciprocal exchanges of favors and marriage to forge new links in their familial and social networks. With thorough documentation in graphs and tables the author evaluates peasant reactions to time work family space migration and protest to portray rural Italians as active flexible and shrewd participating fully in shaping their destinies.Bell asserts that the real problem of the Mezzogiorno is not one of resistance to technology of high birth rates or even of illiteracy. It is one of solving technical questions in ways that foster dependency. The historical and sociological practice of treating peasant culture as backward secondary and circumscribed only encourages disruption and ultimately blocks the road to economic and political justice in a post-modern world.

Fate and Transport of Nutrients in Groundwater and Surface Water in an Urban Slum Catchment Kampala Uganda Urban informal settlements or slums are growing rapidly in cities in sub-Saharan Africa. Most often a sewer system is not present and the commonly-used low-cost onsite wastewater handling practices typically pit latrines are frequently unplanned uncontrolled and inefficient. Consequently most households dispose of their untreated or partially treated wastewater on-site generating high loads of nutrients to groundwater and streams draining these areas. However the fate of nutrients in urban slums is generally unknown. In excess these nutrients can cause eutrophication in downstream water bodies.This book provides an understanding of the hydro-geochemical processes affecting the generation fate and transport of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) in a typical urban slum area in Kampala Uganda. The approach used combined experimental and modeling techniques using a large set of hydrochemical and geochemical data collected from shallow groundwater drainage channels and precipitation. The results show that both nitrogen-containing acid precipitation and domestic wastewater from slum areas are important sources of nutrients in urban slum catchments. For nutrients leaching to groundwater pit latrines retained over 80% of the nutrient mass input while the underlying alluvial sandy aquifer was also an effective sink of nutrients where nitrogen was removed by denitrification and anaerobic oxidation and phosphorus by adsorption to calcite. In surface water nutrient attenuation processes are limited. This study argues that groundwater may not be important as regards to eutrophication implying that management interventions in slum areas should primarily focus on nutrients released into drainage channels. This research is of broad interest as urbanization is an ongoing trend and many developing countries lack proper sanitation systems. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9781138027152

Fate of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment and in Water Treatment Systems The detection of pharmaceutical residues remained elusive until instruments such as liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry became commonplace in environmental laboratories. The documentation of the occurrence of pharmaceutical residues and endocrine disrupting chemicals in water resources has raused questions about their long-term effects in the ecosystem and their potential effects on human health. Fate of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment and in Water Treatment Systems covers critical issues regarding the occurrence persistence treatment and transformations of pharmaceuticals in the environment and in drinking water and wastewater treatment systems.Acompilation of the recent literature the book reviews advances in instrumentation and sample preparation techniques and includes an example of how risk assessment is conducted to investigate the fate and effects of pharmaceutical contaminants. Several chapters explore the behavior of pharmaceuticals in soil and the potential side effects of antibiotics on plants after uptake. Experts in drinking water and wastewater treatment systems present new findings on the effectiveness of current treatment practices to reduce the concentrations of pharmaceuticals at the source providing new insights on how to better mitigate future problems brought about by emerging environmental contaminants.Contributing authors from academia government and industry provide a well-balanced multi-disciplinary perspective on the issues discussing topics ranging from field studies documenting the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in environmental compartments to laboratory studies determining the degradation kinetics and formation of by-products during treatment.

Herzog's Father Hunger: Explorations with Adults and Children will quickly take its place both as a landmark contribution to developmental psychology and as an enduring classic in the clinical literature of psychoanalysis.  We live in an era when a great many children grow up without a father or worse still with fathers who traumatically abuse them.  Yet society continues to ignore the emotional price that children pay and often continue to pay throughout their lives for this tragic state of affairs.   Father Hunger will change this situation.  First drawn to his topic by observing the recurring nightmares of clinic-referred children of newly separated parents - nightmares in which the children's fear of their own aggression was coupled with desperate wishes for their fathers' return - Herzog went on to spend more than two decades exploring the role of the father in a variety of naturalistic settings.  He discovered that the characteristically intense manner in which fathers engaged their children provided an experience of contained excitement that served as a necessary scaffolding to the children's emerging sense of self and as a potential buffer against future trauma.  A brilliant observer and remarkably gifted caring clinician Herzog remains true to the ambiguities and multiple leves of meaning that arise in therapeutic encounters with real people.  He consistently locates his therapeutic strategies and clinical discoveries within a sophisticated observational framework thus making his formulations about father hunger and its remediation of immediate value to scientific researchers.  A model of humane psychoanalytic exploration in response to a deepening social problem Father Hunger is a clinical document destined to raise public consciousness and help shape social policy.  And in the extraordinary stories of therapeutic struggle and restoration that emerge from its pages it is a stunning testament to the resiliency of the human spirit.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138005358

Father-Child RelationsCultural and Biosocial Contexts Due to a greater involvement of American fathers in the direct care of their children in recent years interest in the impact and nature of the father's role in nurturing children has increased. While studies about fathers in the industrialized literate West have proliferated little is known about the role of fathers in the preliterate non-Western world. This collection examines the diversity of paternal roles found in human cultures among various types of societies that are very peaceful and those that actively engage in warfare as a mode of existence.Father-Child Relations recognizes the importance of understanding both biological and cultural aspects of the father's role. Many of the contributors utilize evolutionary or biosocial models including those of developmental psychology to examine the father's role while others rely upon the symbolic analysis of cultural and social anthropology. One chapter is devoted to male-infant relationships in nonhuman primates a further largely ignored comparative perspective.The anthropologists who have contributed to this collection are field workers who have lived intimately over significant periods of time with the people about whom they are writing. These research reports from the field have been edited to make them wholly accessible to the non-specialist. The contributors of this volume recognize that biology and ideology are intertwined; both together influence the father's behavior and the effects of his behavior.

Fatherhood Authority and British Reading Culture 1831-1907 During a period when the idea of fatherhood was in flux and individual fathers sought to regain a cohesive collective identity debates related to a father’s authority were negotiated and resolved through competing documents. Melissa Shields Jenkins analyzes the evolution of patriarchal authority in nineteenth-century culture drawing from extra-literary and non-narrative source material as well as from novels. Arguing that Victorian novelists reinvent patriarchy by recourse to conduct books biography religious manuals political speeches and professional writing in the fields of history and science Jenkins offers interdisciplinary case studies of Elizabeth Gaskell George Meredith William Makepeace Thackeray George Eliot Samuel Butler and Thomas Hardy. Jenkins’s book contributes to our understanding of the part played by fathers in the Victorian cultural imagination and sheds new light on the structures underlying the Victorian novel.

Fatherhood (Routledge Revivals) First published in 1984 this groundbreaking title explores the concept of fatherhood by following a hundred men who become fathers for the first time. The book is addressed to men who are discovering fatherhood and to women who wish to hear what a man feels and thinks about having a child. Many men experience the strange problems of the male couvade. They have everything from mysterious back ache to inexplicable stomach pains. Later they frequently find that the white-coated professionals shut the door on their doubts and needs and their shy search for information. Brian Jackson’s book cautiously explores changing attitudes to fatherhood emerging at the time of the book’s initial publication. In recent years we have gone through a unique revolution in man’s experience of woman and child. There is surprise at the costs and demands of parenthood so much so that both parents may move from a honeymoon phase of parenthood into the birth of the blues. Previously this has been thought of as a female hormonal readjustment but since men speak of identical symptoms this study suggests that at the roots lies the strain of unprepared parenthood. The traditional father is still there – showing off his medals his tattoos his rugby triumphs and his unconcern for the gentler aspects of life. So is the man who simply hunts in the economic jungle and expects his home to service him. But most of these men now waver and hedge their bets. They look at their child as they return from their working day or as they slump into unemployment and wonder if they could be more positive more creative more licensed to care.

Fatherhood for Gay MenAn Emotional and Practical Guide to Becoming a Gay Dad Get the inside story on a single gay man's struggle to adopt! Fatherhood for Gay Men: An Emotional and Practical Guide to Becoming a Gay Dad is the story of one man's journey down the road less traveled—a single gay man adopting and raising his two sons. Author Kevin McGarry recounts his passage into parenthood after years of having his natural fathering instincts stifled by the limits—real and perceived—of being gay. This unique book details the emotional financial practical and social realities of the adoption process for gay men. From the author: "We take risks by coming out of the closet as gay men and at the end of the day we are emotionally happier because we took those risks. By coming out we are being true to who we are. The same goes for anyone gay or straight who has gut instincts for parenthood. I knew over the years that I had parenting instincts because I had this incredible envy of other dads. I would watch them with their kids and wish that somehow I could have that role. It was painful at times because being gay I didn't think parenting was in my life plan. Had more role models been available to me the process would have been a little less difficult." Much more than a “how-to” guide to adoption Fatherhood for Gay Men is the personal account of a single gay man's struggle to become a father despite the real and imagined limitations of being a gay man. The book looks at the adoption process (domestic and international) from the inside providing unique insight into: conducting a homestudy costs (fees and expenses) what countries allow men to adopt alternatives to adoption life as a new parent online resources and a state-by-state review of adoption laws categorized by “Completely Legal ” “Favorable Climate ” “Mixed Success ” and “Illegal” The book also includes results of the 2000 study by Gillian Dunne senior researcher for the London School of Economics Gender Institute of 100 gay fathers and fathers-to-be. “Fatherhood for Gay Men: An Emotional and Practical Guide to Becoming a Gay Dad is a heartfelt and heartwarming story of a father's refusal to be denied a family.Visit the Author's Web site at http://www.fatherhoodforgaymen.com Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315801643

FatherhoodResearch Interventions and Policies How much power does a father have to influence his children's development? A lively and often heated public debate on the role and value of the father in a family has been underway in the United States for the past decade. Nevertheless we are far from understanding the complex ways in which fathers make contributions to their families and children. Fatherhood: Research Interventions and Policies addresses the central questions of the role of fathers: Ž What is the impact of father involvement on child outcomes? Ž What factors predict increased involvement of fathers?Bringing together papers presented at the Conference on Father Involvement this volume includes contributions by leading scholars in anthropology demography economics family science psychology and sociology. Many of the contributors also address the implications of father involvement for family policy issues including family leave child care and child support. Furthermore the discussion of fatherhood ranges well beyond the case of intact middle-class white families to include fathers from various ethnic groups and socioeconomic classes and of varied marital status including fathers of nonmarital children single-father families and nonresident fathers. Fatherhood: Research Interventions and Policies addresses both practical and theoretical concerns including:the redefinition of fatherhood changes over time in research on fatherhood the predictive power of fathers’activities on their children's adult outcomes the correlation between fathers’income and their involvement with their nonmarital children the influence of fathers on their sons’probability of growing up to become responsible fathers the effects of divorce on father-son and father-daughter relationships interventions that help to keep divorced fathers in touch with their childrenThis comprehensive powerful book combines pioneering empirical research with thoughtful consideration of the social and psychological implications of fatherhood.

Fathers Families and the Outside World This is the second monograph to be published under the auspices of Winnicott Studies the Squiggle Foundation's renowned series of publications on contemporary applications of Winnicott's thought. Like its predecessor which concentrated on the True and False Self this volume focuses on a single topic: Winnicott's treatment of fathers. The volume includes a reprint of Winnicott's 1965 paper "A child psychiatry case illustrating delayed reaction to loss" which is followed by John Forrester's "On holding as a metaphor" which expands and comments on many of the issues which Winnicott raises. John Fielding then provides an insight into Shakespeare's treatment of father-figures; Graham Lee outlines a new approach to the Oedipus complex in the light of Winnicott's insights; and Val Richards concludes with some clinical and theoretical thoughts. Taken together these papers provide an intriguing composite picture of Winnicottian thought today on a topic which is of increasing social and cultural interest.

Fathers and AdolescentsDevelopmental and Clinical Perspectives The understanding and study of fathers has traditionally assumed that fathers compared to mothers are less involved with their children. Originally published in 1997 Fathers and Adolescents presents a different approach that focuses on the distinctive role of fathers in the lives of their adolescents especially in their role in adolescents’ attainment of developmental tasks. Drawing on a variety of disciplines the authors’ examine the relationships of fathers to their adolescents in the context of a changing society. They find that fathers interact in ways that are different from those of mothers but that are important for both normal and disturbed adolescent development. Psychopathological aggressive and incestuous behaviour is considered as well as the role of the father in more ideal circumstances. Drawing on the authors’ wealth of clinical experience this title will still be an important resource for all professionals working with adolescents as well as those in research.

Fathers and Their Families Although a great deal has been written about the development of children the mother-child relationship and the differing psychologies of women and men the study of fathers fathering and fatherhood has until very recently been virtually ignored.  Fathers and Their Families redresses this situation with original contributions covering fathering and fatherhood in their interacting psychological familial and social dimensions.  In 28 chapters and extensive editorial commentary the editors and their contributors explore the changing roles of fathers - changes prompted partly by societal shifts and partly by changes in the family and in "traditional" parental roles. The broad questions that guide the editors and contributors could not be more timely.   Among the topical studies contained in this collection are illuminating examinations of fathers as single parents readiness for grandfatherhood transition to fatherhood father-daughter relationships and father-son relationships.  Chapters involving ruptured families divorce and fathers and the treatment challenges of working with fathers will be of special interest to clinicians of various backgrounds and orientations. Throughout this volume the emphasis is less on intrapsychic and dyadic relationships than on the total family system and the intrafamilial intergenerational and societal forces that shape paternal behavior.  In this ranging systematic approach Fathers and Their Families speaks to the concerns of clinical social workers and family therapists.  But it will also be enormously helpful to psychoanalysts psychiatrists and clinical psychologists for whom it can be depended upon to broaden the vision and thereby enlarge the context that informs individual psychotherapy.  For developmental psychologists students of the family and clinicians alike it promises to be a revelation a lifting of the blinders that for centuries have sustained that most sacrosanct of icons the father.

Fathers in FamiliesThe Changing Role of the Father in the Family The role of the father in a family and for his children has varied greatly throughout history. However scientific research into fatherhood began relatively late at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s with a strong focus on the impact of the father on child development. This book focuses on the role of the father in the contemporary two-parent heterosexual family. Of eight longitudinal studies from several Western countries six focus on the socialization outcomes of the children and two concentrate on parental satisfaction. Although the father is in focus family dynamics cannot be conclusively described without a look at the mother and parental interaction. Therefore all of the studies examine mothers and their role in the family system. Thus the book gives a contemporary insight into the father and his role in changing family dynamics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Developmental Psychology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138094963

Fathers Who FailShame and Psychopathology in the Family System Despite the burgeoning literature on the role of the father in child development and on fathering as a developmental stage surprisingly little has been written about the psychiatrically impaired father.  In Fathers Who Fail Melvin Lansky remedies this glaring lacuna in the literature.  Drawing on contemporary psychoanalysis family systems theory and the sociology of conflict he delineates the spectrum of psychopathological predicaments that undermine the ability of the father to be a father.  Out of his sensitive integration of the intrapsychic and intrafamilial contexts of paternal failure emerges a richly textured portrait of psychiatrically impaired fathers of fathers who fail.  Lansky's probing discussion of narcissistic equilibrium in the family system enables him to chart the natural history common to the symptomatic impulsive actions of impaired fathers.  He then considers specific manifestations of paternal dysfunction within this shared framework of heightened familial conflict and the failure of intrafamilial defenses to common shame.  Domestic violence suicide the intensification of trauma posttraumatic nightmares catastrophic reactions in organic brain syndrome and the murder of a spouse are among the major "symptoms" that he explores.  In each instance Lansky carefully sketches the progression of vulnerability and turbulence from the father's personality to the family system and thence to the symptomatic eruption in question.  In his concluding chapter he comments tellingly on the unconscious obstacles - on the part of both patients and therapists - to treating impaired fathers.  The obstacles cut across different clinical modalities underscoring the need for multimodal responses to fathers who fail.

Fatimid History and Ismaili Doctrine The thirteen studies in this volume explore critical problems in Fatimid history and historiography many specifically focused on the content of doctrinal writings produced by the Ismaili supporters and agents of this caliphate who worked on behalf of the dynasty both within the empire and outside. Several concern issues in disputes that separated the various factions of Medieval Islam and served to distinguish the Ismailis from the rest often branding the Fatimids with the charge of heterodoxy. Others deal with the consequence of Shiite rule over a largely non-Shiite populace. Yet others involve the relationship between religious ideology and the administration of government. Among the themes featured in this collection there are separate investigations of institutions of learning of succession to the imamate the da`wa the judiciary relations with the Byzantines and with the Abbasids and works on heresiography doctrines of time and the accusation that the Ismailis upheld the metempsychosis of the human soul. The latter topics help to situate the Ismailis and hence the Fatimids within the broader context of Islamic thought. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138375253

Fault Lines in Global JihadOrganizational Strategic and Ideological Fissures This book deals with the causes nature and impact of the divisions within the jihadi movement and the splits between jihadis and other Islamic groups. Fault Lines in Global Jihad offers a systematic and comprehensive examination of the broad range of divisions that contribute to the weakening of the jihadi movement. It separates these divisions into two broad categories namely fissures dividing jihadis themselves and divisions separating jihadis from other Muslim and Islamist groups. The first part of the book covers intra-jihadi divisions highlighting tensions and divisions over strategic tactical and organizational issues. The second part of the book addresses several important case studies of jihadi altercations with other Muslim and Islamist groups of non-jihadi persuasion such as the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas and the Shii community. More than simply an enumeration of problems and cracks within al-Qa’ida and its cohorts this book addresses critical policy issues of relevance to the broader struggle against the global jihadi movement. The editors conclude that these divisions have and continue to weaken al-Qa’ida but neither in an automatic nor in an exclusive fashion—for these divisions render the global jihadi movement simultaneously vulnerable and more resilient. This book will be of much interest to students of jihadism terrorism and political violence Islamism security studies and IR in general. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415724081

Fault Tolerant Attitude Estimation for Small Satellites Small satellites use commercial off-the-shelf sensors and actuators for attitude determination and control (ADC) to reduce the cost. These sensors and actuators are usually not as robust as the available more expensive space-proven equipment. As a result the ADC system of small satellites is more vulnerable to any fault compared to a system for larger competitors. This book aims to present useful solutions for fault tolerance in ADC systems of small satellites. The contents of the book can be divided into two categories: fault tolerant attitude filtering algorithms for small satellites and sensor calibration methods to compensate the sensor errors. MATLAB® will be used to demonstrate simulations. Presents fault tolerant attitude estimation algorithms for small satellites with an emphasis on algorithms’ practicability and applicability Incorporates fundamental knowledge about the attitude determination methods at large Discusses comprehensive information about attitude sensors for small satellites Reviews calibration algorithms for small satellite magnetometers with simulated examples Supports theory with MATLAB simulation results which can be easily understood by individuals without a comprehensive background in this field Covers up-to-date discussions for small satellite attitude systems design Dr. Chingiz Hajiyev is a professor at the Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics Istanbul Technical University (Istanbul Turkey).

Faustus and the Promises of the New Science c. 1580-1730From the Chapbooks to Harlequin Faustus Having identified the literary origins of the Faustus legend in the German Faust Book (1587) and its English translation (1592) this book argues that these works transformed a simple rogue's tale into an incisive study of morality and beliefs. The chapbooks' contrastive portrayal of an imaginary experience of hell and a pseudo-scientific journey through the cosmos is interpreted as an unconventional approach to the questions of an inquiring mind. This study offers the first analysis of the chapbooks as literary works in their own right as opposed to simply being sources for Christopher Marlowe's play. It is also the first study to describe the Faustus typology as a vehicle by which uncompromising thinkers of early modernity and the Enlightenment questioned contemporary views about religion morality and the possibility of experiencing transcendence. While arguing that Marlowe's Doctor Faustus primarily examines the imaginary foundations of religious rules and standards the author suggests that the 1616 version of the play revived the chapbooks' accounts of spiritual ravishment and intellectual ecstasy. Imaginary explorations of cosmic space became popular in the seventeenth century and gave rise to strongly diverging works of literature embracing the arcane spirituality of Milton's Paradise Lost as well as Fontenelle's sociable but essentially secular fantasy of cosmic travel. This book shows that contemporary responses to early modern science also tended to address the most urgent concerns of the Faustus legend explaining the re-emergence of the typology in Mountfort's late seventeenth-century farcical Faustus play and early eighteenth-century harlequinades about Doctor Faustus Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315255392

FaxtonExcavations in a deserted Northamptonshire village 1966–68 The village of Faxton in Northamptonshire was only finally deserted in the second half of the 20th century. Shortly afterwards between 1966 and 1968 its medieval crofts were investigated under the direction of archaeologist Lawrence Butler. At the time this was one of the most ambitious excavations of a deserted medieval settlement to have been conducted and although the results were only published as interim reports and summaries Butler’s observations at Faxton were to have significant influence on the growing academic and popular literature about village origins and desertion and the nature of medieval peasant crofts and buildings. In contrast to regions with abundant building stone Faxton revealed archaeological evidence of a long tradition of earthen architecture in which so-called ‘mud-walling’ was successfully combined with other structural materials. The ‘rescue’ excavations at Faxton were originally promoted by the Deserted Medieval Village Research Group and funded by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works after the extensive earthworks at the site came under threat from agriculture. Three areas were excavated covering seven crofts. In 1966 Croft 29 at the south-east corner of the village green revealed a single croft in detail with its barns yards and corn driers; in 1967 four crofts were examined together in the north-west corner of the village in an area badly damaged by recent ploughing and finally an area immediately east of the church was opened up in 1968. In all some 4000m2 were investigated in 140 days over three seasons. The post-excavation process for Faxton was beset by delay. Of the 12 chapters presented in this monograph only two were substantially complete at the time of the director’s death in 2014. The others have had to be pieced together from interim summaries partial manuscripts sound recordings handwritten notes and on-site records. Building on this evidence a new team of scholars have re-considered the findings in order to set the excavations at Faxton into the wider context of modern research. Their texts reflect on the settlement’s disputed pre-Conquest origins probable later re-planning and expansion the reasons behind the decline and abandonment of the village the extraordinary story behind the destruction of its church the development of the open fields and the enclosure process as well as new evidence about Faxton’s buildings and the finds discovered there. Once lauded then forgotten the excavations at Faxton now make a new contribution to our knowledge of medieval life and landscape in the East Midlands.   Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367517717

FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling GuideDecision Diagrams Check A workbook for day-to-day decisions Nutrition labels on various food products must comply with numerous ever-changing requirements. Items such as meat and poultry products food packages and dietary supplements are subject to stringent federal regulations-and the costs of compliance are often significant.

FDI Regionalism Government Policy and Endogenous GrowthA Comparative Study of the ASEAN-5 Economies with Development Policy Implications Published in 1999 this text investigates whether FDI caused spill over effects which have led to the economic growth of the ASEAN-5 economies and if that it so whether the ASEAN Preferential Trade Agreement (APTA) had a significant effect in attracting FDI to the region. It takes into account the different levels of economic development of the countries under analysis. The results from the structural (static) model suggest that FDI has stimulated economic growth through the human factors followed by technology transfer international trade and learning by doing and that the formation of APTA had a lagged influence on FDI inflows into the advantage of the more developed member countries and the disadvantage of the less developed countries. Those from the multiplier (dynamic) effects analysis demonstrate that whereas the impact is immediate in the more developed politically stable and foreign investment friendly economies there is a time lag in those economies which are less developed and more hostile to FDI. The analysis presents an empirical comparison of how the level of economic development affects the interaction of FDI regionalism and economic growth.

Fealty and Fidelity: The Lazarists of Bourbon France 1660-1736 The career of the French saint Vincent de Paul has attracted the attention of hundreds of authors since his death in 1660 but the fate of his legacy - entrusted to the body of priests called the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists) - remains vastly neglected. De Paul spent a lifetime working for the reform of the clergy and the evangelization of the rural poor. After his death his ethos was universally lauded as one of the most important elements in the regeneration of the French church but what happened to this ethos after he died? This book provides a thorough examination of the major activities of de Paul’s immediate followers. It begins by analysing the unique model of religious life designed by de Paul - a model created in contradistinction to more worldly clerical institutes above all the Society of Jesus. Before he died de Paul made very clear that fidelity to this model demanded that his disciples avoid the corridors of power. However this book follows the subsequent departures from this command to demonstrate that the Congregation became one of the most powerful orders in France. The book includes a study of the termination of the little-known Madagascar mission which was closed in 1671. This mission replete with colonial scandal and mismanagement revealed the terrible pressures on de Paul’s followers in the decade after his demise. The end of the mission occasioned the first major reassessment of the Congregation’s goals as a missionary institute and involved abandoning some of the goals the founder had nourished. The rest of the book reveals how the Lazarists recovered from the setbacks of Madagascar famously becoming parish priests of Louis XIV at Versailles in 1672. From then on fealty to Louis XIV gradually trumped fidelity to de Paul. The book also investigates the darker side of the Congregation’s novel alliance with the monarch by examining its treatment of Huguenot prisoners at Marseille later in the century and its involvement with the slave trade in the Indian Ocean. This study is a wide-ranging investigation of the Lazarists’ activities in the French Empire ultimately concluding that they eclipsed the Society of Jesus. Finally it contributes new information to the literature on Louis XIV’s prickly relationship with religious agents that will surprise historians working in this area.

Fear Exclusion and RevolutionRoger Morrice and Britain in the 1680s Between the years 1677 and 1691 the Puritan minister Roger Morrice compiled an astonishingly detailed record of public affairs in Britain. Running to almost a million words his 'Entring Book' provides a unique record of late seventeenth-century political and religious history. It charts the rise of British party politics and the transformation of Puritanism into 'Whiggery' and Dissent. It provides a wealth of information on social and cultural history as well as the relationships between the three Stuart kingdoms. All the essays in this volume have been inspired by the key concerns of the Entring Book: the palpable sense of the fear and foreboding in the 1680s; the long shadow cast by the mid-century civil war; the profound effect on Englishmen of events on the continent; and the anxieties and opportunities caused by a socially diffuse culture of news and information. In so doing they give a vivid sense of what it was like to live in England in the years before the Revolution and help to explain why that Revolution took place when it did and why it took the particular form that it did. These chapters provide fresh and insightful perspectives on religion politics and culture from established and emerging scholars on three continents. Taken together they offer a valuable introduction to the world of Roger Morrice and will be an essential companion to the scholarly edition of the Entring Book.

Fear Society and the Police Fear Society and the Police examines elements of fear and how they can be controlled and turned into an effective and proper response in an emergency situation. Readers of this book will be exposed to ways fear can become an uncontrolled emotion often leading to unnecessary acts of violence and will examine ways and means of using reasoning to overcome unfounded fear. The author encourages readers to critically assess circumstances in today’s society that have caused fear unrest and division between the enforcers of law and the people they are sworn to protect. Providing examples of how violence in society has had an impact on police–community relations this book examines the many facets of fear from several perspectives including historical personal and institutional. Security management courses concentrate on the "how and why" of security yet to become an effective professional security specialist it is recommended the practitioner become educated in the nuances of fear. This book presents a look into the how and why of fear and will relate to security personnel as it does to police officers. The book brings perspectives based on reality and experience. It will be of interest not only to those who work in law enforcement but also to students in criminal justice management and leadership psychology and sociology courses. As violence in society escalates professionalism will require more understanding of fear-based emotions. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367246112

Fear and Crime in Latin AmericaRedefining State-Society Relations The feeling of insecurity is a little known phenomenon that has been only partially explored by social sciences. However it has a deep social cultural and economic impact and may even contribute to define the very structures of the state. In Latin America fear of crime has become an important stumbling block in the region’s process of democratization. After long spells of dictatorships and civil wars violence in the region was supposed to be under control yet crime rates have continued to skyrocket and citizens remain fearful. This analytical puzzle has troubled researchers and to date there is no publication which explores this problem. Based on a wealth of cutting edge qualitative and quantitative research Lucía Dammert proposes a unique theoretical perspective which includes a sociological criminological and political analysis to understand fear of crime. She describes its linkages to issues such as urban segregation social attitudes institutional trust public policies and authoritarian discourses in Chile’s recent past.  Looking beyond Chile Dammert also includes a regional comparative perspective allowing readers to understand the complex elements underpinning this situation. Fear and Crime in Latin America challenges many assumptions and opens an opportunity to discuss an issue that affects everyone with key societal and personal costs. As crime rates increase and states become even more fragile fear of crime as a social problem will continue to have an important impact in Latin America.

Fear and SchoolingUnderstanding the Troubled History of Progressive Education By exploring the tensions impacts and origins of major controversies relating to schooling and curricula since the early twentieth century this insightful text illustrates how fear has played a key role in steering the development of education in the United States. Through rigorous historical investigation Evans demonstrates how numerous public disputes over specific curricular content have been driven by broader societal hopes and fears. Illustrating how the population’s concerns have been historically projected onto American schooling the text posits educational debate and controversy as a means by which we struggle over changing anxieties and competing visions of the future and in doing so limit influence of key progressive initiatives. Episodes examined include the Rugg textbook controversy the 1950s "crisis" over progressive education the MACOS dispute conservative restoration culture war battles and corporate school reform. In examining specific periods of intense controversy and drawing on previously untapped archival sources the author identifies patterns and discontinuities and explains the origins development and results of each case. Ultimately this volume powerfully reveals the danger that fear-based controversies pose to hopes for democratic education. This informative and insightful text will be of interest to graduate and postgraduate students researchers and academics in the fields of educational reform history of education curriculum studies and sociology of education.

Fear of CrimeIncivility and the Production of a Social Problem Mass incarceration and lower crime rates have not made city dwellers feel safe. Programs designed to deal with this problem focus on increased police protection. In this study Lewis and Salem question the validity of these assumptions and the effectiveness of this approach. Their five-year investigation challenged theories that focused only on the psychological responses to victimization and failed to take into account the social and political environments within which such fears are created.From a "social control" perspective which informs their research and analysis the authors examined the fear of crime in ten neighbourhoods in Chicago San Francisco and Philadelphia which represent the range of communities typically found in urban areas. The authors contend that fear of crime is not related to exposure or knowledge about criminal events alone but also stems from residents' concerns about changes in their neighbourhoods. Many people they argue are afraid of crime because they believe that they have lost control over their local communities. Their conclusions remain as valid as when this book was first published in 1986.Lewis and Salem consider ways to restore the control that community residents feel they have lost and consider the possibilities for a more equitable distribution of security in urban areas.

FearA Dark Shadow Across Our Life Span Beginning with Freud's celebrated case of Little Hans psychoanalysts and psychotherapists have been intrigued with the topic of fear. Eclipsed in theoretical writings by the term 'anxiety' fear remains a pervasive expression in day to day clinical work. Patients constantly talk about it. One implores that we cure him of his fear of dogs. Another offers the fear of aloneness as the rationale of her staying in a bad marriage. Yet another avoids all athletic activity due to the fear of physical injury. And a fourth one lives in utter denial of passing time to avoid facing his fear of death. Despite its ubiquitous presence fear has received little direct attention in psychoanalytic literature. This book aims to fill this lacuna. It explicates various intensities of fear e.g. apprehension dread panic and terror. It delineates the boundaries between fear and anxiety and demonstrates how phobic states constitute an admixture of these two emotions. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781782200680

Fearless LeadershipOvercoming Reticence Procrastination and the Voices of Doubt Inside Your Head The intent of this book -- the author's goal for you — is to understand the baseless underpinnings of almost all our fears. You read that correctly -- almost all our fears -- and therefore to discard them. The author has expertly coached leaders and managers in the discovery of examination of elimination of and sustained freedom from fears. We all know people who are charming and articulate but flounder on a stage addressing colleagues; musicians who master intricate scores but can’t play the basics when asked to solo; athletes who "choke"; business people who are strong until it comes time to ask for the business; people who consistently feel like "imposters." We are far better at dealing with external tangible fears than our own imagined ones. We purchase insurance watch the safety demonstrations know how to use the Heimlich Maneuver. But those are responses to rare and often never-occurring emergencies. Our mythical and monstrous fears are daily dark clouds masking our talents no less than depression or guilt. It’s time to realize there is no monster under the bed never has been and never will be without having to check nightly and without needing a weapon on the night table. Picture yourself freed of restraints that you could never properly articulate and were loath to discuss but which you carried on your shoulders constantly a dead weight nonetheless. Essentially this book is for entrepreneurs business owners and those who seek a better position for themselves and their talents but who procrastinate delay and hang back. It’s about isolating and overcoming the internal fears that we generate every day like a geyser triggered by time events or shifts in the environment. We are our own worst enemies and we ignore the practical remedies to escape fear because we use our energies instead on blaming everyone else. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367337360

Feature Engineering for Machine Learning and Data Analytics Feature engineering plays a vital role in big data analytics. Machine learning and data mining algorithms cannot work without data. Little can be achieved if there are few features to represent the underlying data objects and the quality of results of those algorithms largely depends on the quality of the available features. Feature Engineering for Machine Learning and Data Analytics provides a comprehensive introduction to feature engineering including feature generation feature extraction feature transformation feature selection and feature analysis and evaluation. The book presents key concepts methods examples and applications as well as chapters on feature engineering for major data types such as texts images sequences time series graphs streaming data software engineering data Twitter data and social media data. It also contains generic feature generation approaches as well as methods for generating tried-and-tested hand-crafted domain-specific features.The first chapter defines the concepts of features and feature engineering offers an overview of the book and provides pointers to topics not covered in this book. The next six chapters are devoted to feature engineering including feature generation for specific data types. The subsequent four chapters cover generic approaches for feature engineering namely feature selection feature transformation based feature engineering deep learning based feature engineering and pattern based feature generation and engineering. The last three chapters discuss feature engineering for social bot detection software management and Twitter-based applications respectively.This book can be used as a reference for data analysts big data scientists data preprocessing workers project managers project developers prediction modelers professors researchers graduate students and upper level undergraduate students.

Fecal Matters in Early Modern Literature and ArtStudies in Scatology Feces urine flatus phlegm vomitus - unlike ourselves our most educated forebears did not disdain these functions and further they employed scatological references in all manner of works. This collection of essays was provoked by what its editors considered to be a curious lacuna: the relative academic neglect of the copious and ubiquitous scatological rhetoric of Early Modern Europe here broadly defined as the representation of the process and product of elimination of the body's waste products. The contributors to this volume examine the many forms and functions of scatology as literary and artistic trope and reconsider this last taboo in the context of Early Modern European expression. They address unflinchingly both the objective reality of the scatological as part and parcel of material culture - inescapably a much larger part a much heavier parcel then than now - and the subjective experience of that reality among contemporaries.

Federal Challenges and Challenges to Federalism Discussing what we may learn from thinking about the EU in federal terms represents a two-fold challenge. It is on the one hand a matter of establishing ‘how federal’ the EU is (the EU’s federal challenge). On the other the EU has federal features but is not a state thus raising the question of whether federal theory and practice may have to be adapted to take proper account of the EU (the EU’s challenge to federalism). The contributions to this collection supplement and extend existing scholarship through focusing on two important lines of inquiry. The first focuses on the relationship between federalism and democracy with particular emphasis on how federal systems respond to and deal with citizens’ interests and concerns within and outside the political system. Representation is explored both in the process of federalization and as a feature of established systems. The second line of inquiry places the emphasis on the relationship among the governments of federal systems. The focus is on intergovernmental relations and the particular merits that emanate from studying these from a federal perspective. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of European Public Policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367234904

Federal Democracies Federal Democracies examines the evolution of the relationship between federalism and democracy. Taking the late 18th century US Federal Experience as its starting-point the book uses the contributions of Calhoun Bryce and Proudhon as 19th century conceptual prisms through which we can witness the challenges and changes made to the meaning of this relationship. The book then goes on to provide a series of case studies to examine contemporary examples of federalism and includes chapters on Canada USA Russia Germany Spain Belgium Switzerland and the emerging European Union. It features two further case studies on Minority Nations and a Federal Europe and concludes with two chapters providing comparative empirical and theoretical perspectives and comparative reflections on federalism and democracy. Bringing together international experts in the field this book will be vital reading for students and scholars of federalism comparative politics and government.

Federal Narcotics Laws and the War on DrugsMoney Down a Rat Hole We’re losing the “war on drugs”—but the fight isn’t over yetFederal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs examines our current anti-drug programs and policies explains why they have failed and presents a plan to fix them. Author Thomas C. Rowe who has been educating college students on recreational drug use for nearly 30 years exposes the truth about anti-drug programs he believes were conceived in ignorance of the drugs themselves and motivated by racial/cultural bias. This powerful book advocates a shift in federal spending to move funds away from the failed elements of the “war on drugs” toward policies with a more realistic chance to succeed—the drug courts education and effective treatment. Common myths and misconceptions about drugs have produced anti-drug programs that don’t work won’t work and waste millions of dollars. Federal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs looks at how—and why—this has happened and what can be done to correct it. The book is divided into “How did we get into this mess?” which details the history of anti-narcotic legislation how drug agencies evolved and the role played by Harry Anslinger Commissioner of the United States Bureau of Narcotics from 1930 to 1962; “What works and what doesn’t work ” which looks at the failure of interdiction efforts and the negative consequences that have resulted with a particular focus on the problems of prisons balanced against the drug court system; and a third section that serves as an overview of various recreational drugs considers arguments for and against drug legalization and offers suggestions for more effective methods than our current system allows.Federal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs also examines: the creation of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics current regulations and structures current federal sentencing guidelines current state of the courts and the prison system mandatory sentencing and what judges think interdiction for heroin cocaine and crack cocaine and marijuana early education efforts the DARE program drug use trends drug treatment models the debate over legalizationFederal Narcotics Laws and the War on Drugs also includes several appendices of federal budget figures cocaine and heroin purity and price and federal bureau of prisons statistics. This unique book is required reading for anyone concerned about the drug problem in the United States and what is—and isn’t—being done to correct it. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9780203725825

Federal Reserve Behavior 1923-1931 The Federal Reserve System has been widely criticised for its response (or lack of response) to the economic and financial problems of 1928-1933. This period was one of frantic speculation followed by the collapse of the stock market the banking system and the economy at large. How did the Fed let this happen and was it to blame? This book first published in 1993 carries out an in-depth statistical analysis of the relevant data supporting the various theories surrounding the Fed’s behaviour at the time and is a key work in understanding the thinking of the period.

Federal Solutions to Ethnic ProblemsAccommodating Diversity Exploring five distinct models of federal arrangement this book evaluates the relative merits of each model as a mechanism for managing relations in ethnically divided societies. Two broad approaches to this issue accommodation and denial are identified and from this five distinct models of federal arrangement are derived. The models; ethnic anti-ethnic territorial ethno-territorial and federacy are defined and then located within their broader theoretical tradition. Detailed case studies are used to evaluate the strengths and weakness of each model and highlight patterns in the success and failure rates of the universe of post-1945 federal arrangements. From this it is clear that two forms of ethnically defined federal arrangement – federacy and ethno-territorial federalism are associated with low failure rates while ethnic federalism has enjoyed a far higher rate of failure. The reasons for this are examined and the implications of this for the design of federal systems in ethnically divided societies are assessed. Federal Solutions to Ethnic Problems: Accommodating Diversity advances a new argument within the field of comparative politics that certain forms of federal arrangement are systematically more successful than others in ameliorating ethnically conflicted societies and is essential reading for students and scholars with an interest in politics and the Middle East.

Federalism Feminism and Multilevel Governance Until recently few gender scholars took notice of the impact of state architecture on women's representation political opportunities and policy achievements. Likewise scholars of federalism devolution and multilevel governance have largely ignored their gender impact. For the first time this book explores how women's politics is affected by and affects federalism whether in Australia Canada India Mexico Nigeria Russia or the US. Equally it assesses the gender implications of devolution and multilevel governance in the European Union including case studies of the UK and Germany. Globally multilevel governance is providing new arenas for women's politics. For example CEDAW (the UN Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women) has led most governments to adopt gender-equality norms while other UN instruments have supported Aboriginal self-government. Gender scholars will find especially valuable what is revealed about the impact of political architecture on a broad range of policy issues including gay marriage reproductive rights and childcare. Federalism scholars will benefit from the book's wide range of cases comparative themes and combination of gender and federalism perspectives. Written by leading experts this book fills an important gap in both literatures. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367605537

Federalism Plurinationality and Democratic ConstitutionalismTheory and Cases This book provides a theoretical and comparative analysis of federalism and federations in plurinational democracies examining how states with distinct peoples and communities coexist (or not). Through a theoretical approach to democracy and federalism and interdisciplinary analysis of plurinationality in state organization including case studies of the UK Russia Canada Belgium India Spain Switzerland and Bolivia this text assesses the possibilities and limits of federalism as a way to recognize and accommodate multinationalism in plurinational democracies. It evaluates a range of strategies used by states to support national ethnic linguistic or religious collectives in present-day liberal democracies. Leading scholars in the field evaluate the institutional and practical repercussions regarding the issue of recognition and accommodation of national minorities in a globalised world through different theoretical perspectives to build up a detailed picture of problems and solutions to multinationalism. Looking both within and beyond the state this is an invaluable examination of dilemmas and institutional challenges faced by many modern democracies.

Federalism Secession and International Recognition RegimeIraqi Kurdistan Federalism is widely believed to be an efficient tool to quell ethnic conflict yet recently there has been a pronounced global tendency among ethnic minorities to break away from larger nations. Iraqi Kurdistan a region within the newly established Iraqi federation also harbors plans to proclaim its own sovereign state. This volume analyses the factors that have caused the Kurds to change their minds about living in a federal Iraq and the reaction of their neighbors and the international community at large. Using a broad theoretical framework of federal studies and secession theory this book examines the causes for the breakup of ethnic federations fuelled by nationalism as well as the international regime of recognition of newly formed entities. It provides a first-hand account and theoretically informed interpretations of the Iraqi situation showing that federalism is not always a universal remedy for ethnic and religious conflicts; it also emphasizes that the international recognition regime is a significant variable in peoples’ actions and aspirations to sovereignty.Enriching the ongoing debate on federalism and self-determination this volume will appeal to scholars and students of politics international relations and comparative politics as well as those interested in federalism the Middle East and Kurdistan.

Federalism Secession and the American StateDivided We Secede One important tradition in political science conceives of the Civil War in the United States serving as the functional equivalent of the English and French Revolutions bringing with it the victory of liberal democratic industrialism over aristocratic agriculturalism. From this perspective the Civil War is notable for its impact on the American state. Surprisingly however little attention has been paid to the distinguishing features of this historic rupture in American politics. Through primary source research and the re-analysis of the rich historical literature about the antebellum era and the causes of the Civil War Lawrence A. Anderson explores the relationship between federalism and the movement for secession in the United States during the pre-civil war era. Focusing primarily on South Carolina Anderson carefully revisits theory on institutional analysis of political development to expose what caused secession in the United States.

Federalism and Decentralization in Sub-Saharan Africa The 1990s were marked by democratic reforms throughout Africa which went in tandem with decentralization reforms. The chapters of the volume all highlight the gradual changes that have taken place since. Long-term structural uncodified factors – be it societal economic geographic demographic – seem to have interacted with the constitutional clauses introduced during the reforms. Some chapters look at how decentralization slowly gave way to recentralization because none of the new subnational entities were politically and economically strong enough to balance off the center; some look at how inherent deficiencies in infrastructure and personnel at the subnational level brought the central government back in; some look at how different subnational units ended up working differently due to differences in demographic and social factors; some look at how uncodified factors came to determine how national politics functioned; some look at how decentralization created new conflicts between ethnic groups competing for the control of the new entities; some look at how decentralization blew new life into traditional authorities. This book was original published as a special issue of Regional and Federal Studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367234454

Federalism and Ethnic Conflict in EthiopiaA Comparative Regional Study This book examines the impact of the federal restructuring of Ethiopia on ethnic conflicts. The adoption of ethnic federalism in Ethiopia was closely related with the problem of creating a state structure that could be used as instrument of managing the complex ethno-linguistic diversity of the country. Ethiopia is a multinational country with about 85 ethno-linguistic groups and since the 1960s it suffered from ethno-regional conflicts. The book considers multiple governance and state factors that could explain the difficulties Ethiopian federalism faces to realise its objectives. These include lack of political pluralism and the use of ethnicity as the sole instrument of state organisation. Federalism and Ethnic Conflict in Ethiopia will be of interest to students and scholars of federal studies ethnic conflict and regionalism. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138496293

Federalism and Regional Policy in Contemporary Russia How do Russian leaders balance the need to decentralize governance in a socially and politically complex country with the need to guarantee political control of the state? Since the early 2000s Russian federal authorities have arranged a system of political control on regional elites and their leaders providing a "police control" of special bodies subordinated by the federal center on policy implementation in the regions. Different mechanisms of fiscal federalism and investment policy have been used to ensure regional elites’ loyalty and a politically centralized but administratively decentralized system has been created. Asking clear direct and theoretically informed questions about the relationship between federalism decentralization and authoritarianism this book explores the political survival of authoritarian leaders the determinants of policy formulation and theories of federalism and decentralization to reach a new understanding of territorial governance in contemporary Russia. As such it is an important work for students and researchers in Russian studies and regional and federal studies.

Federalism and the Courts in AfricaDesign and Impact in Comparative Perspective This volume examines the design and impact of courts in African federal systems from a comparative perspective. Recent developments indicate that the previously stymied idea of federalism is now being revived in the constitutional arrangements of several African countries. A number of them jumped on the bandwagon of federalism in the early 1990s because it came to be seen as a means to facilitate development to counter the concentration of power in a single governmental actor and to manage communal tensions. An important part of the move towards federalism is the establishment of courts that are empowered to umpire intergovernmental disputes. This edited volume brings together contributions that first discuss questions of design by focusing in particular on the organization of the judiciary and the appointment of judges in African federal systems. They then examine whether courts have had a rather centralizing or decentralizing impact on the operation of African federal systems. The book will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers in the areas of comparative constitutional law and comparative politics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367266707

Federalism and the Making of America 　 Though Americans rarely appreciate it federalism has profoundly shaped their nation’s past present and future. Federalism—the division of government authority between the national government and the states—affects the prosperity security and daily life of every American. Some of the most spectacular political conflicts in American history have been fought on the battlefield of federalism including states’ rights to leave the union government power to regulate business and responses to the problems of race poverty pollution abortion and gay rights. In the second edition of this nuanced and comprehensive text David Brian Robertson shows that past choices shape present circumstances and that a deep understanding of American government public policy political processes and society requires an understanding of the key steps in federalism’s evolution in American history. New to the Second Edition Emphasizes that federalism is a battleground that shapes every life inAmerica. Extensively revised and updated including new coverage of recent controversies like Ferguson immigration climate change Obamacare gay rights the minimum wage political polarization voter identification fracking and marijuana legalization. Brings together the newest developments in history political science law and related disciplines to show how federalism influences government and politics today.

Federalism as a Tool of Conflict Resolution Looking at the growing use of federalism and decentralization as tools of conflict resolution this book provides evidence from several case studies on the opportunities and challenges that territorial solutions offer when addressing internal conflicts within a variety of countries. Federalism has been used as a tool of conflict resolution in a number of conflict situations around the world. The results of this have been mixed at best with some countries moving slowly to the paths of peace and recovery while others have returned to violence. This volume looks at a number of case studies in which federalism and decentralization have been promoted in order to bring opposing groups together and protect the territorial integrity of different countries. Yet it is demonstrated that this has been incredibly difficult and often overshadowed by wider concerns on secession de and re-centralization and geopolitics and geoeconomics. While federalism and decentralization might hold the key to keeping war-torn countries together and bringing hostile groups to the negotiation table we nevertheless need to rethink under which conditions territorial autonomy can help to transform conflict and when it might contribute to an increase in conflict and violence. Federalism alone so the key message from all contributions cannot be enough to bring peace – yet without territorial solutions to ongoing violence it is also unlikely that peace will be achieved. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Ethnopolitics. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367692964

Federalism beyond FederationsAsymmetry and Processes of Resymmetrisation in Europe Since the end of the Second World War a set of democratic European countries have established a decentralized system of government based on federal or regional patterns. Some of these systems initially displayed an asymmetrical trend however some democracies have implemented a subsequent process of re-symmetrization that changes the structure and the legitimization of the previous political agreements. Charting the evolution of decentralization processes and asymmetries implemented in Belgium Denmark Finland France Italy Portugal Russia Spain Ukraine and the United Kingdom leading international scholars illustrate which countries have evolved more symmetrically why this is so and what the role of political actors in these processes have been. In doing so each case study: - Examines the causes of the legal and constitutional asymmetries and the main political cleavages. - Analyses the main institutions actors and factors that influence the political dynamics of the territorial debate. - Questions whether there is such a process of re-symmetrization - Presents the main actors in favour of the process of re-symmetrization and of maintaining the constitutional and legal asymmetries Written accessibly and contributing to key debates on federalism and asymmetry Federalism beyond Federations appeals to academics politicians decision-makers and all those interested in the political problems facing modern democracies.

Federalism in South Asia This book is one of the first in-depth and systematic studies on the functioning and aspiring federations of South Asia. It examines how federal dynamics in India Pakistan Nepal and Sri Lanka are impinged on by the nature of their specific constitutions; their societal political and cultural fabrics; composition of power elites and ruling classes; structures of political economy and market; electoral and party systems; mass media; and information technology. The authors offer a comparative analytical conceptual and theoretical framework to understand patterns and trends as also experiences of and possibilities for federalism in South Asia. They highlight divergences and similarities successes and key challenges while indicating federalism’s wider regional relevance in the discourse on democracy and governance. The book concludes that the multicultural character of these societies — beset with ethnic and regional conflicts separatist and military undercurrents — makes federal political solutions the only viable route. Providing a wealth of material this will deeply interest scholars students and teachers of comparative politics political science federal studies area studies as well as those interested in political structures and processes in South Asia.

Federalism of Wetlands This book investigates the consequences of redundant state and federal environmental regulations in the United States. Drawing on the most exhaustive statistical analysis of US federal wetland permits ever constructed the book uncovers the disjointed world of wetland regulation. The author starts by examining the socioeconomic and environmental factors driving individuals to apply for environmental regulatory permits and the regional inconsistencies encountered in federal environmental regulatory program performance. The book goes on to demonstrate that states have more power in federal relationships than scholars often believe and that individual state policies are important even in a time of strong federal governance. Evidence shows that such intergovernmental redundancy serves to increase overall regulatory program effectiveness. This book breaks new ground in the subjects of federalism and environmental regulation by rejecting the traditional approach of picking winners and losers in favour of a nuanced demonstration of how redundancy and collaboration between different levels of governance can make for more effective governmental programs. The book is also innovative in its use of the perspectives of regulated citizens not as a point of judgment but as a means of introducing a constructive new way of thinking about political and administrative boundaries within a federalist system of governance. The book provides relevant context to wider political debates about excessive and duplicative regulatory oversight and will be of interest to Environmental Policy students and administrators.

Federico BarocciInspiration and Innovation in Early Modern Italy Reviewers of a recent exhibition termed Federico Barocci (ca. 1533–1612) 'the greatest artist you’ve never heard of'. One of the first original iconographers of the Counter Reformation Barocci was a remarkably inventive religious painter and draftsman and the first Italian artist to incorporate extensive color into his drawings. The purpose of this volume is to offer new insights into Barocci’s work and to accord this artist the dates of whose career fall between the traditional Renaissance and Baroque periods the critical attention he deserves. Employing a range of methodologies the essays include new ideas on Barocci’s masterpiece the Entombment of Christ; fresh thinking about his use of color in his drawings and innovative design methods; insights into his approach to the nude; revelations on a key early patron; a consideration of the reasons behind some of his most original iconography; an analysis of his unusual approach to the marketing of his pictures; an exploration of some little-known aspects of his early production such as his reliance on Italian majolica and contemporary sculpture in developing his compositions; and an examination of a key Barocci document the post mortem inventory of his studio.

Feedback Nonlinear and Distributed Circuits Upon its initial publication the Handbook of Circuits and Filters broke new ground. It quickly became the resource for comprehensive coverage of issues and practical information that can be put to immediate use. Not content to rest on his laurels editor Wai-kai Chen divided the second edition into volumes making the information easily accessible and digestible. In the third edition these volumes have been revised updated and expanded so that they continue to provide solid coverage of standard practices and enlightened perspectives on new and emerging techniques. Feedback Nonlinear and Distributed Circuits draws together international contributors who discuss feedback amplifier theory and then move on to explore feedback amplifier configurations. They develop Bode’s feedback theory as an example of general feedback theory. The coverage then moves on to the importance of complementing numerical analysis with qualitative analysis to get a global picture of a circuit’s performance. After reviewing a wide range of approximation techniques and circuit design styles for discreet and monolithic circuits the book presents a comprehensive description of the use of piecewise-linear methods in modeling analysis and structural properties of nonlinear circuits highlighting the advantages. It describes the circuit modeling in the frequency domain of uniform MTL based on the Telegrapher’s equations and covers frequency and time domain experimental characterization techniques for uniform and nonuniform multiconductor structures. This volume will undoubtedly take its place as the engineer's first choice in looking for solutions to problems encountered in the analysis and behavior predictions of circuits and filters.

Feedback Control in Systems Biology Like engineering systems biological systems must also operate effectively in the presence of internal and external uncertainty—such as genetic mutations or temperature changes for example. It is not surprising then that evolution has resulted in the widespread use of feedback and research in systems biology over the past decade has shown that feedback control systems are widely found in biology. As an increasing number of researchers in the life sciences become interested in control-theoretic ideas such as feedback stability noise and disturbance attenuation and robustness there is a need for a text that explains feedback control as it applies to biological systems.Written by established researchers in both control engineering and systems biology Feedback Control in Systems Biology explains how feedback control concepts can be applied to systems biology. Filling the need for a text on control theory for systems biologists it provides an overview of relevant ideas and methods from control engineering and illustrates their application to the analysis of biological systems with case studies in cellular and molecular biology. Control Theory for Systems BiologistsThe book focuses on the fundamental concepts used to analyze the effects of feedback in biological control systems rather than the control system design methods that form the core of most control textbooks. In addition the authors do not assume that readers are familiar with control theory. They focus on "control applications" such as metabolic and gene-regulatory networks rather than aircraft robots or engines and on mathematical models derived from classical reaction kinetics rather than classical mechanics. Another significant feature of the book is that it discusses nonlinear systems an understanding of which is crucial for systems biologists because of the highly nonlinear nature of Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367382261

Feedback in Higher and Professional EducationUnderstanding it and doing it well Learners complain that they do not get enough feedback and educators resent that although they put considerable time into generating feedback students take little notice of it. Both parties agree that it is very important. Feedback in Higher and Professional Education explores what needs to be done to make feedback more effective. It examines the problem of feedback and suggests that there is a lack of clarity and shared meaning about what it is and what constitutes doing it well. It argues that new ways of thinking about feedback are needed. There has been considerable development in research on feedback in recent years but surprisingly little awareness of what needs to be done to improve it and good ideas are not translated into action. The book provides a multi-disciplinary and international account of the role of feedback in higher and professional education. It challenges three conventional assumptions about feedback in learning: That feedback constitutes one-way flow of information from a knowledgeable person to a less knowledgeable person. That the job of feedback is complete with the imparting of performance-related information. That a generic model of best-practice feedback can be applied to all learners and all learning situations It seeking a new approach to feedback it proposes that it is necessary to recognise that learners need to be much more actively involved in seeking generating and using feedback. Rather than it being something they are subjected to it must be an activity that they drive. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415692298

Feed-in TariffsAccelerating the Deployment of Renewable Energy A feed-in tariff is a renewable energy law that obliges energy suppliers to buy electricity produced from renewable resources at a fixed price usually over a fixed period - even from householders. These legal guarantees ensure investment security and the support of all viable renewable energy technologies. Supporters argue that the feed-in model if implemented effectively around the world would greatly assist the energy revolution that is so desperately required; through CO2 reduction market creation and development job creation and improved energy security. Feed-in Tariffs is a concise introduction to feed-in laws examining the experience of countries that have implemented this model.

Feeding African CitiesStudies in Regional Social History Originally published in 1987 this book traces the broad outlines of urban food policy drawing attention to the limited knowledge of regional social history. Urban food supply systems in Africa have developed very fast in the midst of societies in which food production was not in general oriented to feeding distant populations of 'specialist consumers'. Institutional and political links had to be forged between town and country if food supply was to be cheap and predictable. This volume explores the political and material dynamics of urban food supply through 4 case studies: Kano Yaoundé Dar es Salaam and Harare. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367000455

Feeding CitiesImproving local food access security and resilience There is enormous current interest in urban food systems with a wide array of policies and initiatives intended to increase food security decrease ecological impacts and improve public health. This volume is a cross-disciplinary and applied approach to urban food system sustainability health and equity.  The contributions are from researchers working on social economic political and ethical issues associated with food systems. The book's focus is on the analysis of and lessons obtained from specific experiences relevant to local food systems such as tapping urban farmers markets to address issues of food access and public health and use of zoning to restrict the density of fast food restaurants with the aim of reducing obesity rates. Other topics considered include building a local food business to address the twin problems of economic and nutritional distress developing ways to reduce food waste and improve food access in poor urban neighborhoods and asking whether the many and diverse hopes for urban agriculture are justified.  The chapters show that it is critical to conduct research on existing efforts to determine what works and to develop best practices in pursuit of sustainable and socially just urban food systems. The main examples discussed are from the United States but the issues are applicable internationally. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367029807

Feeding DesireFatness Beauty and Sexuality Among a Saharan People While the Western world adheres to a beauty ideal that says women can never be too thin the semi-nomadic Moors of the Sahara desert have for centuries cherished a feminine ideal of extreme fatness. Voluptuous immobility is thought to beautify girls' bodies hasten the onset of puberty heighten their sexuality and ripen them for marriage. From the time of the loss of their first milk teeth girls are directed to eat huge bowls of milk and porridge in one of the world's few examples of active female fattening. Based on fieldwork in an Arab village in Niger Feeding Desire analyses the meanings of women's fatness as constituted by desire kinship concepts of health Islam and the crucial social need to manage sexuality. By demonstrating how a particular beauty ideal can only be understood within wider social structures and cultural logics the book also implicitly provides a new way of thinking about the ideal of slimness in late Western capitalism. Offering a reminder that an estimated eighty per cent of the world's societies prefer plump women this gracefully written book is both a fascinating exploration of the nature of bodily ideals and a highly readable ethnography of a Saharan people.

Feeding IndiaLivelihoods Entitlements and Capabilities Food security is one of the twenty-first century’s key global challenges and lessons learned from India have particular significance worldwide. Not only does India account for approximately one quarter of the world’s under-nourished persons it also provides a worrying case of how rapid economic growth may not provide an assumed panacea to food security.  This book takes on this challenge. It explains how India’s chronic food security problem is a function of a distinctive interaction of economic political and environmental processes. It contends that under-nutrition and hunger are lagging components of human development in India precisely because the interfaces between these aspects of the food security problem have not been adequately understood in policy-making communities. Only through an integrative approach spanning the social and environmental sciences are the fuller dimensions of this problem revealed. A well-rounded appreciation of the problem is required informed by the FAO’s conception of food security as encompassing availability (production) access (distribution) and utilisation (nutritional content) as well as by Amartya Sen’s notions of entitlements and capabilities.

Feeling Film: Affect and Authenticity in Popular Cinema Cinema has the capacity to enflame our passions to arouse our pity to inspire our love. Feeling Film is a book that examines the emotional encounters found in contemporary popular cinema cultures. Examining melodrama film noir comic book franchises cult indie movies and romantic comedy within the context of a Jungian-informed psychology and contemporary movements in film-philosophy this book considers the various kinds of feelings engendered by our everyday engagements with cinema. Greg Singh questions the popular idea of what cinema is and considers what happens during the anticipation and act of watching a movie through to the act of sharing our feelings about them the reviewing process and repeat-viewing practices. Feeling Film does this through a critique of purely textual approaches instead offering a model which emphasises lived warm (embodied and inhabited) psychological relationships between the viewer and the viewed. It extends the narrative action of cinema beyond the duration of the screening into realms of anticipation and afterlife in particular providing insight into the tertiary and participatory practices afforded through rich media engagement. In rethinking the everyday co-productive relationship between viewer and viewed from this perspective Feeling Film reinstates the importance of feelings as a central concern for film theory. What emerges from this study is a re-engagement of the place of emotion affect and feeling in film theory and criticism. In reconsidering the duration of the cinematic encounter Feeling Film makes a significant contribution to the understanding of the inter-subjective relationship between viewer and viewed. It takes post-Jungian criticism into the realms of post-cinema technologies and reignites the dialogue between depth psychology and the study of images as they appear to and for us. This book will make essential reading for those interested in the relationship between film and aspects of depth psychology film and philosophy students at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels film and cinema academics and cinephiles.

Feeling Matters As long as feelings are second-class citizens people will be second class citizens. Experience is an endangered species. An important function of psychotherapy is to make time for experiencing. Psychic taste buds really exist and rarely rest. They feed us each other gauge states of being states of spirit. We taste each other's feelings and intentions. An important aim of this book is to build psychic taste buds not put them down or pretend they don't exist. A positive feeling runs through this book a love of life an affirmation. Yet we discover many feel they do not have an impact. A sense of helplessness and impotence in face of awesome forces seems to be increasing. Health is a broad term with many dark threads. A creeping annihilating sense varies from pockets we try not to notice to soul murder that must be addressed. Yet individuals do try in their private struggles and in the larger social sphere.

Feeling Queer JurisprudenceInjury Intimacy Identity This book draws on the analytic and political dimensions of queer alongside the analytic and political usefulness of emotion to navigate legal interventions aimed at progressing the rights of LGBT people.Scholars activists lawyers and judges concerned with eliminating violence and discrimination against LGBT people have generated passionate conversations about pursuing law reform to make LGBT injuries intimacies and identities visible while some challenge the ways legal systems marginalise queer minorities. Senthorun Sunil Raj powerfully contributes to these ongoing conversations by using emotion as an analytic frame to reflect on the ways case law seeks to "progress" the intimacies and identities of LGBT people from positions of injury. This book catalogues a range of cases from Australia the United States and the United Kingdom to unpack how emotion shapes the decriminalisation of homosexuality hate crime interventions anti-discrimination measures refugee protection and marriage equality. While emotional enactments in pro-LGBT jurisprudence enable new forms of recognition and visibility they can also work paradoxically to cover over queer intimacies and identities. Raj innovatively shows that reading jurisprudence through emotions can make space in law to affirm rather than disavow intimacies and identities that queer conventional ideas about "LGBT progress" without having to abandon legal pursuits to protect LGBT people. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of human rights law gender and sexuality studies and socio-legal theory. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780815356509

Fellow RomanticsMale and Female British Writers 1790�1835 Beginning with the premise that men and women of the Romantic period were lively interlocutors who participated in many of the same literary traditions and experiments Fellow Romantics offers an inspired counterpoint to studies of Romantic-era women writers that stress their differences from their male contemporaries. As they advance the work of scholars who have questioned binary approaches to studying male and female writers the contributors variously link among others Charlotte Smith and William Wordsworth Mary Robinson and Samuel Taylor Coleridge Felicia Hemans and Percy Bysshe Shelley Jane Austen and the male Romantic poets. These pairings invite us to see anew the work of both male and female writers by drawing our attention to frequently neglected aspects of each writer's art. Here we see writers of both sexes interacting in their shared historical moment while the contributors reorient our attention toward common points of engagement between male and female authors. What is gained is a more textured understanding of the period that will serve as a model for future studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367888008

Female Agency in the Urban EconomyGender in European Towns 1640-1830 This innovative new book is overtly and explicitly about female agency in eighteenth-century European towns. However it positions female activity and decisions unequivocally in an urban world of institutions laws regulations customs and ideologies. Gender politics complicated and shaped the day-to-day experiences of working women. Town rules and customs as well as police and guilds’ regulations affected women’s participation in the urban economy: most of the time the formally recognized and legally accepted power of women – which is an essential component of female agency – was very limited. Yet these chapters draw attention to how women navigated these gendered terrains. As the book demonstrates "exclusion" is too strong a word for the realities and pragmatism of women’s everyday lives. Frequently guild and corporate regulations were more about situating women and regulating their activities rather than preventing them from operating in the urban economy. Similarly corporate structures which were under stress found flexible strategies to incorporate women who through their own initiative and activities put pressure on the systems. Women could benefit from the contradictions between moral and social unwritten norms and economic regulations and could take advantage of the tolerance or complicity of urban authorities towards illicit practices. Women with a grasp of their rights and privileges could defend themselves and exploit legal systems with its loopholes and contradictions to achieve economic independence and power.

Female Capital PunishmentFrom the Gallows to Unofficial Abolition in Connecticut This book systematically investigates the capital punishment of girls and women in one jurisdiction in the United States  over nearly four centuries. Using Connecticut as an essential case study due to its long history as a colony and a state this study is the first of its kind not only for New England but for the United States. The author uses rich archival sources to look critically at the gendered differential in the application of the death penalty from the seventeenth century until the abolition of capital punish-ment in Connecticut in 2012. In addition to analyzing cases of executions this monograph offers an innovative focus on women and girls who escaped judicial execution with death sentences that were avoided reversed reprieved or commuted. The book fully describes the impact of the rise and fall of witchcraft allegations during the last half of the seventeenth century the clash between the deg-radation of slavery and Enlightenment ideals that was the provocation for the de facto end of female capital punishment in the New Republic the introduction of two degrees of murder which effectively provided an es-cape hatch from the gallows and a detailed look at the unique case of Lydia Sherman whose sentence to life in prison under the Connecticut murder statute of 1846 emphatically confirmed the unofficial state exemption of females from the gallows. Pivotal cases since 1900 are also examined. The book will attract attention from a broad audience interested in criminology  criminal justice capital punishment  women’s studies and legal history.

Female Celebrity and AgeingBack in the Spotlight Female Celebrity and Ageing: Back in the Spotlight interrogates the myriad ways in which celebrity culture constructs highly visible ideologies of femininity and ageing and how ageing female celebrities have negotiated the media in a variety of industrial historical and national contexts. In the era when the ‘baby boomers’ have started drawing their pensions the boundaries of what constitutes ‘old age’ have never seemed more fluid and ageing has never been presented by advertisers and marketers in a more dynamic fashion. However the fact remains that ageing is still widely feared and growing old is an inherently gendered process in which ageing women are paradoxically both rendered invisible and subjected to damning scrutiny. Nowhere is this conflicting state of affairs more evident than in celebrity culture where ageing female stars are praised for ‘growing old gracefully’ one moment and condemned for ‘letting themselves go’ the next when they fail to age ‘appropriately’. Examining a variety of themes and ageing women in the spotlight from Barbara Stanwyck to Madonna to Charlotte Rampling the essays collected here forge new critical and conceptual insights into how women grow older in the media and the implications of this for what Susan Sontag memorably called "the double standard of ageing". This book is based on a special issue of Celebrity Studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415832366

Female Chinese Bankers in the Asia PacificGender Mobility and Opportunity This book explores the simultaneous Asianisation and feminisation of mid-level management in the financial services sector in world and global cities in the Asia-Pacific. Chan draws on 50 in-depth interviews with ethnically Chinese female professionals working in middle or upper management positions in Sydney Hong Kong Shanghai and four other cities in Australia and China. She analyses the interplay between geographical location gender and career mobility. Growing numbers of transnational Chinese live and work in major cities in developed countries. In this context a new social economic ecosystem is being created for and by female professionals working in an elite sector of the service industry across the Asia-Pacific region. Chan examines the nature of this ecosystem through an examination of the lives and work of such women – their role in forming multinational networks in financial service firms their collective work situation their daily challenges and their coping strategies in the workplace and at home. A compelling comparative study which will be of great interest to scholars and students looking at the role of gender and ethnicity in globalisation.

Female Combatants after Armed StruggleLost in Transition? This book stems from a simple ‘feminist curiosity’ that can be succinctly summed up into a single question: what happens to combatant women after the war? Based on in-depth interviews with 40 research participants mostly former combatants within the Irish Republican Army (IRA) this book offers a critical exploration of republican women and conflict transition in the North of Ireland.Drawing on the feminist theory of a continuum of violence this book finds that the dichotomous separation of war and peace within conventional approaches represents a gendered fiction. Despite undertaking wartime roles that were empowering agentic and subversive this book finds that the ‘post-conflict moment’ as experienced by female combatants represents not peace and security but a continuity of gender discrimination violence injustice and insecurity. The experiences and perspectives contained in this book challenge the discursive deployment of terms such as post-conflict peace and security and moreover shed light on the many forms of post-war activism undertaken by combatant women in pursuit of peace equality and security.

Female CrimeThe Construction of Women in Criminology Female Crime first published in 1987 surveys the major schools of criminology in order to explore the images of the female offender which underpin many contemporary crime theories. In reveals the ways in which male-centred norms dominated much analysis and how crude stereotypes of women were a common attribute to the armoury of criminological research. Although feminists and other researchers are directing increasing attention to criminology this was one of the first attempts to deploy feminist analyses developed within other disciplines to examine critically the range of modern criminological theories on women. Its findings demonstrate the importance of a program to create a new feminist criminology which recognises the female offender as a reasoning purposeful subject. This title will be of interest to students of criminology. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138126237

Female Entrepreneurship Female entrepreneurship and in particular the contribution of their ventures to aggregate economic activity has gained increasing attention over recent years in terms of theory practice and policy. This concise book explores how women fit into the contemporary entrepreneurial discourse by recognizing that gender intersects with and influences women’s experience of entrepreneurship. The book is novel in that it considers women to be a heterogeneous group and as such acknowledges that ethnicity culture class and education will all influence and intersect with female entrepreneurship. As a consequence it explores issues ranging from theoretical relationships between the constructs of gender and entrepreneurship to more empirical work on how entrepreneurship might act as an empowering change agent for women. In order to address the Euro-US centric assumptions underpinning the influence of gender upon entrepreneurship a chapter is dedicated to the role of entrepreneurship in empowering Palestine women. This book will be important supplementary reading on entrepreneurship small business management and women's/gender studies courses - it will prove particularly useful to women moving towards starting their own business as well as postgraduate students researching the topic for the first time.

Female Fans of the NFLTaking Their Place in the Stands In the past sport particularly football has been defined as a male domain. Women’s interest stereotypically ranges from gentle tolerance to active resistance. But increasingly women are proudly identifying themselves as supporters of their teams and have become highly desirable audiences for sport organizations and merchandisers. Football provides a unique site at which to examine the complex interplay between three theoretical areas: identity formation and maintenance commercialization of cultural practices and gender hegemony. This book explores how women experience their fandom and what barriers exist for the female fan.

Female Heroism in the Pastoral The past decade has given us explorations of such forms as the Bildungsroman the Kunstleroman the utopian and Gothic novel as women have written them; studies are even now emerging of the female-authored elegy sonnet sequence and other pure and mixed poetic modes. Women’s work in non-fiction prose and in the dramatic genres is being resurrected and reassessed. At the same time feminist critics continue to deconstruct women as signs in patriarchal literary forms explaining the effect of male gender on structures of signification the narrative and stylistic codes of genre. This series welcomes such studies encouraging as well accounts of sexuality and textual inheritance the influence of female authorship on the evolution of a genre or the creation of a new genre and challenges to genre theory from a gender perspective.

Female Hierarchies Disproportionate attention has long been paid to males in human and other social systems. The basic structures used to explain social behavior in sociological and biological work have overwhelmingly emphasized the significance and shape of male behavior and far less female behavior which is surely at least as important. Stratification sexual selection and natural selection of what women do among themselves and how they relate to men was explored in this volume for the first time. It is now available in a paperback edition with a new introduction by Lionel Tiger.Do females conduct aggressive encounters with each other? Or do they have no impact on mate selection and hence on the future of the genotype? Is the main negotiation of females with males and not among themselves during this selective process? Do the usually larger size and frequently more elaborate behavioral displays of males betray the fact that the burden of selective functioning falls on males and not on females? It is improbable that the answer to these questions is "yes" and that there is little or nothing happening in all-female groups that affects not only how their communities operate but more importantly in the long run the genotype of their species.For those species in which gregarious social behavior is a sine qua non for successful reproduction what are the principles of selection that operate through females? Are female hierarchies more abrasive or generous than male ones? Do they focus more on reproduction than production? What are the forms of female social grouping that either support modify inhibit or stimulate sexual and hence natural selection? This work goes far beyond the slogans of our time for important responses to basic questions. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523500

Female Intimacies in Seventeenth-Century French Literature Examining literary discourses on female friendship and intimacy in seventeenth-century France this study takes as its premise the view that unlike men women have been denied for centuries the possibility of same sex friendship. The author explores the effect of this homosocial and homopriviledged heritage on the deployment and constructions of female friendship and homoerotic relationships as thematic narratives in works by male and female writers in seventeenth-century France. The book consists of three parts: the first surveys the history of male thinkers' denial of female friendship concluding with a synopsis of the cultural representations of female same-sex practices. The second analyzes female intimacy and homoerotism as imagined appropriated and finally repudiated by Honoré d'Urfé's pastoral novel L'Astrée and Isaac de Benserade's seemingly lesbian-friendly comedy Iphis et Iante. The third turns to unprecedented depictions of female intimate and homoerotic bonds in Madeleine de Scudéry's novel Mathilde and Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force's fairy tale Plus Belle que Fée. This study reveals a female literary genealogy of intimacies between women in seventeenth-century France and adds to the research in lesbian and queer studies fields in which pre-eighteenth-century French literary texts are rare.

Female Labour Power: Women Workers’ Influence on Business Practices in the British and American Cotton Industries 1780–1860 Britain and America were the first two countries with mechanised cotton manufacturing industries the first major factory systems of production and the first major employers of women outside of the domestic environment. The combination of being new wage earners in the first trans-national industry and their public prominence as workers makes these women's role as employees significant; they set the early standard for women as waged labour to which later female workers were compared. This book analyses how women workers influenced patterns of industrial organization and offers a new perspective on relationships between gender and work and on industrial development. The primary theme of the study is the attempt to control the work process through co-operation coercion and conflict between women workers their male counterparts and manufacturers. Drawing upon examples of women's subversive activities and attitudes toward the discourses of labour the book emphasizes the variety of women's work experiences. By using this diversity of experience in a comparative way the book reaches conclusions that challenge a variety of historical concepts including separate spheres of influence for men and women and related economic theories for example that women were passive players in the workplace evolutionary theories with respect to industrial development and business culture within and between the two industries. Overall it provides the fresh approach that highlights and explains women's agency as operatives and paid workers during industrialization. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138266520

Female Masochism in FilmSexuality Ethics and Aesthetics Theoretically and representationally responses to heterosexual female masochism have ranged from neglect in theories that focus predominantly or only upon masochistic sexuality within male subjects to condemnation from feminists who regard it as an inverted expression of patriarchal control rather than a legitimate form of female desire. It has commonly been understood as a passive form of sexuality thus ignoring the potential for activity and agency that the masochistic position may involve which underpins the crucial argument that female masochism can be conceived as enquiring ethical activity. Taking as its subject the works of Jane Campion Catherine Breillat Michael Haneke and Lars von Trier as well as the films Secretary (Steven Shainberg) Dans Ma Peau (Marina de Van) Red Road (Andrea Arnold 2006) Amer (Hélène Cattat and Bruno Forzani) and Sleeping Beauty (Julia Leigh) Female Masochism in Film avoids these reductive and simplistic approaches by focusing on the ambivalences and intricacies of this type of sexuality and subjectivity. Using the philosophical writings of Kristeva Irigaray Lacan Scarry and Bataille McPhee argues that masochism cannot and should not be considered aside from its ethical and intersubjective implications and furthermore that the aesthetic tendencies emerging across these films - obscenity extremity confrontation and a transgressive ambiguous form of beauty - are strongly related to these implications. Ultimately this complex and novel work calls upon the spectator and the theorist to reconsider normative ideas about desire corporeality fantasy and suffering.

Female Monastic Life in Early Tudor EnglandWith an Edition of Richard Fox's Translation of the Benedictine Rule for Women 1517 This gendered translation of the Benedictine Rule for women in 1517 is also a handbook for women on exercising authority management skills and the art of good governance including monastic property and relations with the outside world. Barry Collett here provides a modern facsimile edition of Fox's translation written in the tumbling phrases of passionate prose that make Fox stand out as a literary figure of the English Renaissance. Collett also provides an extensive introduction that argues that Fox's experience as an administrator and senior political adviser with special responsibility for foreign affairs mainly with Scotland and France the political situation in 1516 and social concerns Fox shared with Thomas More all provide keys to understanding this translation of the rule. Richard Fox was king's secretary Lord Privy Seal and Bishop of Winchester and founder of Corpus Christi College in Oxford. He was an administrator who reflected much on the proper exercise of authority and responsibility at all levels especially through negotiated co-operation. He strongly supported monastic reforms and when a group of abbesses requested a translation for sisters unable to understand Latin this was his response. It provides a unique window into the world of female spirituality just a few months before Luther's reformation began. The exercise of God-given authority by women is described in the same-possibly stronger-terms as for men. Fox expressed no reservations about the exercise of authority by women. His indifference to sexual distinctions arose paradoxically from his preoccupation with the skilful use of God-given functioning of authority in a hierarchical society.

First it explores how the motif of the mourning woman on the early modern stage embodies the cultural trauma of the Reformation in England. Second the author here brings to light the extent to which the figures of early modern drama recall those of the recent medieval past. Finally Goodland addresses how these representations embody actual mourning practices that were viewed as increasingly disturbing after the Reformation. Female Mourning and Tragedy in Medieval and Renaissance English Drama synthesizes and is relevant to several areas of recent scholarly interest including the performance of gender the history of emotion studies of death and mourning and the cultural trauma of the Reformation.

Female Patients in Early Modern BritainGender Diagnosis and Treatment This investigation contributes to the existing scholarship on women and medicine in early modern Britain by examining the diagnosis and treatment of female patients by male professional medical practitioners from 1590 to 1740. In order to obtain a clearer understanding of female illness and medicine during this period this study examines ailments that were specific and unique to female patients as well as illnesses and conditions that afflicted both female and male patients. Through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of practitioners' records and patients' writings - such as casebooks diaries and letters - an emphasis is placed on medical practice. Despite the prevalence of females amongst many physicians' casebooks and the existence of sex-based differences in the consultations diagnoses and treatments of patients there is no evidence to indicate that either the health or the medical care of females was distinctly disadvantaged by the actions of male practitioners. Instead the diagnoses and treatments of women were premised on a much deeper and more nuanced understanding of the female body than has previously been implied within the historiography. In turn their awareness and appreciation of the unique features of female anatomy and physiology meant that male practitioners were sympathetic and accommodating to the needs of individual female patients during this pivotal period in British medicine.

Female Prostitution in Costa RicaHistorical Perspectives 1880-1930 This book analyzes the development of female prostitution in the Pacific port of Puntarenas Costa Rica during the advanced stage of the coffee exporting economy (1880-1930) at the height of the consolidation of the liberal state. Hayes argues that prostitution in the port differed from that of the coffee producing highlands due to differential economic social and political development. In the periphery of Puntarenas the development of prostitution reflected a less stigmatized view of sexual commerce than that of the highlands where prostitution although legal threatened the tenets of liberal nationalism based on racial homogeneity and family values. Women of the highlands were encouraged to reproduce the nation's "more European" stock of workers and to ensure the legal transference of property through legal church marriages - both part of a design to stabilize the coffee exporting project. By contrast prostitutes and other working women of Puntarenas many immigrants from the "less European" populations of neighboring regions and most in concubinage were freer to do what the law prescribed - register as prostitutes in legitimate trade. Such regional disparities reveal weaknesses in traditional explanations of Costa Rican exceptionalism which have rested on the premise of cultural homogeneity and have reflected the realities of only one region of the country. The book advances an alternative explanation for the development of the nation's more democratic institutions situating Costa Rican exceptionalism in the nation's free labor system of which the labor prostitute in Puntarenas provides an example.

Female Sexuality and Cultural Degradation in Enlightenment FranceMedicine and Literature In her study of eighteenth-century literature and medical treatises Mary McAlpin takes up the widespread belief among cultural philosophers of the French Enlightenment that society was gravely endangered by the effects of hyper-civilization. McAlpin's study explores a strong thread in this rhetoric of decline: the belief that premature puberty in young urban girls supposedly brought on by their exposure to lascivious images titillating novels and lewd conversations was the source of an increasing moral and physical degeneration. In how-to hygiene books intended for parents the medical community declared that the only cure for this obviously involuntary departure from the "natural" path of sexual development was the increased surveillance of young girls. As these treatises by vitalist and vitalist-inspired physiologists became increasingly common in the 1760s McAlpin shows so too did the presence of young vulnerable and virginal heroines in the era's novels. Analyzing novels by among others Jean-Jacques Rousseau Denis Diderot and Choderlos de Laclos she offers physiologically based readings of many of the period's most famous heroines within the context of an eighteenth-century discourse on women and heterosexual desire that broke with earlier periods in recasting female and male desire as qualitatively distinct. Her study persuasively argues that the Western view of women's sexuality as a mysterious nebulous force-Freud's "dark continent"-has its secular origins in the mid-eighteenth century.

Female Sexuality in Modernist FictionLiterary Techniques for Making Women Artists Female Sexuality in Modernist Fiction: Literary Techniques for Making Women Artists provides a chronological investigation of the innovative writing styles of canonical modernist writers to reveal a shift in gendered representations of sexual subjectivity. Positioned at the nexus of studies on the body and sexuality in modernist literature this book addresses the complex ways that constructions of female sexuality are understood culturally politically and epistemologically. Using close reading strategies to identify how modernist authors challenge representations of female positionality as passive case studies consider how canonical modernist authors – Virginia Woolf W.B. Yeats James Joyce and Samuel Beckett –　 found new ways to represent women as embodied sexual desired and desiring subjects through prose poetry and drama. This book addresses Woolf’s Orlando: A Biography (1928) Yeats’ The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933) Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) Beckett’s Not I (1972) and other dramatic works. By rendering sexuality more obviously as a component of female character these works of modernist literature shape our understanding of the artistic body as a structure for thinking about "woman" as a linguistic construct and material reality. This study is will be of great interest to scholars in English literature women and gender studies and sexuality studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367857226

Female SexualityThe Early Psychoanalytic Controversies "Undoubtedly ‘Contributions to the Masculinity Complex in Women ’ is an underrated paper. This may be due to its not being published in English until 1924 well after Freud introduced the term ‘masculinity complex’ into his own writings. However Van Ophuijsen’s paper was originally presented to the Dutch Psycho-Analytical Society much earlier on 23rd June 1917. It was published in German the same year and in Dutch the following year. The term ‘masculinity complex’ is in fact van Ophugsen’s invention and Freud acknowledges his debt in his 1919 paper ‘A Child is Being Beaten’. It is also in the present paper that various manifestations and possible consequences of penis envy are first clearly expressed just as the libidinal investment in the ‘virile’ erogenous zone is linked to the attachment to the mother. This last point is particularly important and Freud will later appeal to it in explaining the phallicism of the little girl. The material van Ophuijsen draws on derives from five case studies of obsessional women. One of the cases who is here simply referred to as H. is subsequently discussed by Jeanne Lampl de Groot in her 1928 paper ‘Evolution of the Oedipus Complex in Women’ a discussion Freud alludes to in his ‘Female Sexuality’ of 1931. The analysand was referred to Lampl de Groot because of difficulties encountered in the transference to a male analyst. It is also worth noting that van Ophuijsen takes her to be an obsessional while Lampl de Groot diagnoses hysteria. Van Ophuijsen’s starting point concerns one aspect of the theory of penis envy; namely that it derives from the sense a woman has of having been injured in infancy through no fault of her own and hence she will blame her mother for having brought her into this world as a woman instead of a man. This matches some character types encountered in analysis van Ophuijsen conjectures. He also points out that this turning against the mother is as with the castration complex founded on a belief in the possibility of possessing the penis. The difference between the castration and masculinity complexes is that the sense of guilt attached to the former is absent from the masculinity complex in which on the other hand what predominate are the sense of having been wronged and accompanying bitterness and reproaches. Moreover the term is intended to connote the presence of a form of rivalry with men rather than the presence of any overt masculine characteristics. Finally one should note the connection between the masculinity complex and the urethral erotism which van Ophuijsen explains in terms of a regression to the auto-erotic stage later tackled by other analysts such as Karen Homey."

Female Students and Cultures of Violence in Cities As the economy constricts it seems living with a chronic sense of fear and anxiety is the new normal for a growing number of urban females. Many females are susceptible to victimization by cumulative strands of violence in school their communities families and partnerships. Exposure to violence has been shown to contribute to physical and mental health problems a propensity for substance abuse transience and homelessness and unsurprisingly poor school attendance and performance. What does a girl do when there is no place to get away from this and even school is a danger zone? Why have so many educators turned their attention away from the reality of violence against girls? Why is there a tendency to categorize such violence as just another example of the general concept of "bullying?" Critical educators who research the effects of current market logics on the schooling of marginalized youth have yet fully to focus on this issue. This volume puts the reality of violence in the lives of urban school girls back on the map investigates answers to the above questions and presents suggestions for change.

Female Terrorism in AmericaPast and Current Perspectives This book provides a comprehensive analysis of female terrorism in America both past and present. The volume takes a fresh look at women’s actions of left-wing political violence right-wing political violence and religious extremist violence (among others). It also examines the multitude of roles that women have played over the past few decades in such organizations (including leadership positions and more passive roles)—not to mention the diverse methods of recruitment radicalization and propaganda. The objective of this book is to examine—using a wide range of case studies facts statistics and theoretical methodologies—how collective or personal factors have influenced or reinforced the actions that these women take. Government agencies continue to underestimate the ability of women to support and perpetrate terrorism. As such the United States is facing a wholly inaccurate and incomplete picture of the complexities of domestic terrorism  and this is contributing to a serious neglect of the issue at the national level. This volume ultimately aims to offer policy-relevant solutions to decrease the threat of domestic female political violence in the United States. Female Terrorism in America will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence American politics gender studies and sociology.

Female Voices from an Ewe Dance-drumming Community in GhanaOur Music Has Become a Divine Spirit Ewe dance-drumming has been extensively studied throughout the history of ethnomusicology but up to now there has not been a single study that addresses Ewe female musicians. James Burns redresses this deficiency through a detailed ethnography of a group of female musicians from the Dzigbordi community dance-drumming club from the rural town of Dzodze located in South-Eastern Ghana. Dzigbordi was specifically chosen because of the author's long association with the group members and because it is part of a genre known as adekede or female songs of redress where women musicians critique gender relations in society. Burns uses audio and video interviews recordings of rehearsals and performances and detailed collaborative analyses of song texts dance routines and performance practice to address important methodological shifts in ethnomusicology that outline a more humanistic perspective of music cultures. This perspective encompasses the inter-linkages between history social processes and individual creative artists. The voices of Dzigbordi women provide us not only with a more complete picture of Ewe music-making they further allow us to better understand the relationship between culture social life and individual creativity. The book will therefore appeal to those interested in African Studies Gender Studies and Oral Literature as well as ethnomusicology. Includes a DVD documentary.

Female-Perpetrated Sex AbuseKnowledge Power and the Cultural Conditions of Victimhood Female-Perpetrated Sex Abuse is a groundbreaking study into gender sexuality and victimhood. It examines the cultural conditions of possibility for FSA victimhood as a means to advance contemporary critical understandings of the role of gender and sexuality as instruments of modern power. As the first direct exploration of FSA victimhood this book analyses: why victims of FSA remain so underexplored and invisible as objects of human science knowledge; the limited and overly rigid discourses in local and global psychological theory and practice that continues to treat particular subjects as ‘victim worthy’ through paradigms that construct victimhood as gendered; and the possibility of new discourses that could disrupt normative understandings of gender sexuality and power in sex abuse and as constitutive to the beginnings of a counter-knowledge on transgressive sexualities. By tracing the historical and cultural conditions of the emergence of FSA broadly and FSA victimhood specifically Kramer illustrates how deeply engrained constructions of gender and sexuality both produce and constrain the possibilities for reporting disclosing and self-identifying victimhood. Female-Perpetrated Sex Abuse is essential reading for academics researchers and students alike in the areas of psychology sociology gender studies criminology counselling and social work.

Femicide and the LawAmerican Criminal Doctrines This book explores femicide and scrutinizes the three key American criminal doctrines usually applied in its cases: provocation; the felony murder rule; self-defence. The book also explores the influence of the American Model Penal Code and proposes connected to the various criminal doctrines applicable to femicide a focused and detailed amendment to the Code containing unique features and a formula providing a socio-legal response to issues that the author believes have not yet been adequately addressed. Though primarily focused on femicide in America the issues discussed are of global relevance due to the tragically widespread nature of femicide and the book also makes significant contributions to the legal discourse of many other countries with similar legal structures.

Feminine FictionsRevisiting the Postmodern ‘Postmodernism’ and ‘feminism’ have become familiar terms since the 1960s developing alongside one another and clearly sharing many strong points of contact. Why then have the critical debates arising out of these movements had so little to say about each other? Patricia Waugh addresses the relationship between feminist and postmodernist writing and theory through the insights of psychoanalysis and in the context of the development of modern fiction in Britain and America. She attempts to uncover the reasons why women writers have been excluded from the considerations of postmodern art. Her route takes her through the theorization of self offered by Freud and Lacan and on to the concept of subjectivity articulated by Kleinian and later object-relations psychoanalysts. She argues that much women’s writing has been inappropriately placed and interpreted within a predominantly formalist-orientated aesthetic and a post-Freudian/liberal individualist conceptualization of subjectivity and artistic expression. This tendency has been intensified in discussions of postmodernism and a new feminist aesthetic is thus badly needed. In the second part of the book Patricia Waugh analyses the work of six ‘traditional’ and six ‘experimental’ writers challenging the restrictive definitions of ‘realist’ ‘modernist’ ‘postmodernist’ in the light of the theoretical position developed in part one. Authors covered include: Woolf (viewed as a postmodernist ‘precursor’ rather than a ‘high’ modernist) Drabble Tyler Plath Brookner Paley Lessing Weldon Atwood Walker Spark Russ and Piercy.

Feminine LawFreud Free Speech and the Voice of Desire Feminine Law: Freud Free Speech and the Voice of Desire explores the conjunction between psychoanalysis and democracy in particular their shared commitments to free speech. In the process it demonstrates how lawful constraints enable an embodied space or "gap" for the potentially disruptive but also liberating and novel flow of desire and its symbols. This space intuited by the First Amendment as it is by Freud's free association enables personal and collective sovereignty. By naming a "feminine law " we mark the primacy a space between the conceivable and the inconceivable between knowledge and mystery. What do political free speech and psychoanalytic free association have in common besides the word "free"? And what do Sigmund Freud and Justice Louis Brandeis share besides a world between two great wars? How is the female body a neglected key to understanding the conditions and contradictions of free discourse? Drs. Jill Gentile and Michael Macrone take up these questions and more in their wide-ranging often passionate exploration of the hidden legacy of Freud and the Founding Fathers.

Femininity Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing This book explores the phenomenon of pole dancing as an increasingly popular fitness and leisure activity for women. It moves beyond previous debates surrounding the empowering or degrading nature of pole dancing classes and instead explores the complexities of these concepts and highlights that women participating in this practice cannot be seen as one dimensional. Femininity Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing explores the construction negotiation and presentation of a gendered and classed identity and self through participation in pole dancing the meaning of pole dancing as a fitness practice for women and the concepts of community and friendship as developed through classes. Using empirical research the book uncovers the stories and experiences of the women who participate in these classes and examines what the mainstreaming of this type of sexualised dance means for the women who practice it. Pole dancing is shown to be a practice in which female identities are negotiated performed and enacted and this book positions pole dancing as an activity which both reinforces but also presents some challenge to ideas of feminism and femininity for the women that participate. Women's participation in pole dancing is described in a discourse of choice and control yet this book argues that the decision to participate is somewhat constructed by the advertising of these classes as enabling women to create a particular desirable self which is perpetuated throughout our culture as the ‘ideal’. Exploring the ways in which women attempt to manage impressions and present themselves as ‘respectable’ the book examines how women wish to dis-identify with both women who work as strippers and women who are feminist seeing both identities as contradictory to the feminine image that they pursue. The book explores the capacity of these classes to offer women some feelings of agency but challenges the idea that participating in pole dancing can offer collective empowerment. The book ultimately argues that women’s participation can be viewed both in terms of their active engagement and enjoyment of these classes and in terms of the structures and pressures which continue to shape their lives. This timely publication explores the complexity of the pole dancing phenomenon and highlights a range of questions surrounding this activity as a leisure form. It will be a valuable contribution to those interested in women’s and gender studies cultural studies feminism sociology and leisure studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138087934

Femininity Self-harm and Eating Disorders in JapanNavigating contradiction in narrative and visual culture From the 1980s onwards the incidence of eating disorders and self-harm has increased among Japanese women who report receiving mixed messages about how to be women. Mirroring this women’s self-directed violence has increasingly been thematised in diverse Japanese narrative and visual culture. This book examines the relationship between normative femininity and women’s self-directed violence in contemporary Japanese culture. To theoretically define the complexities that constitute normativity the book develops the concept of ‘contradictive femininity’ and shows how in Japanese culture women’s paradoxical roles are thematised through three character construction techniques broadly derived from the doppelgänger motif. It then demonstrates how eating disorders and self-harm are included in normative femininity and suggests that such self-directed violence can be interpreted as coping strategies to overcome feelings of fragmentation related to contradictive femininity. Looking at novels artwork manga anime TV dramas and news stories the book analyses both globally well known Japanese culture such as Murakami Haruki’s literary works and Miyazaki Hayao’s animation as well as culture unavailable to non-Japanese readers. The aim of juxtaposing such diverse narrative and visual culture is to map common storylines and thematisation techniques about normative femininity self-harm and eating disorders. Furthermore it shows how women’s private struggles with their own bodies have become public discourse available for consumption as entertainment and lifestyle products. Highly interdisciplinary it will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies Japanese culture and society and gender and women's studies as well as to academics and consumers of Japanese literature manga and animation.

Femininity and PsychoanalysisCinema Culture Theory For Freud famously the feminine was a dark continent or a riddle without an answer. This understanding concerns man’s relationship to the question of ‘woman’ but femininity is also a matter of sexuality and gender and therefore of identity and experience. Drawing together leading academics including film and literary scholars clinicians and artists from diverse backgrounds Femininity and Psychoanalysis: Cinema Culture Theory speaks to the continued relevance of psychoanalytic understanding in a social and political landscape where ideas of gender and sexuality are undergoing profound changes. This transdisciplinary collection crosses boundaries between clinical and psychological discourse and arts and humanities fields to approach the topic of femininity from a variety of psychoanalytic perspectives. From object relations to Lacan to queer theory the essays here revisit and rethink the debates over what the feminine might be. The volume presents a major new work by leading feminist film scholar Elizabeth Cowie in which she presents a first intervention on the topic of film and the feminine for over 20 years as well as a key essay by the prominent artist and psychoanalyst Bracha Ettinger. Written by an international selection of contributors this collection is an indispensable tool for film and literary scholars engaged with psychoanalysts and anybody interested in different approaches to the question of the feminine.

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman The fitness boom of the last two decades has led to many people incorporating exercise into their lifestyles through activities such as jogging and aerobics. However whilst many physical and psychological health benefits have been documented far too few people actually take part in enough exercise to glean significant improvements and this is much more a problem for women than men.Femininity and the Physically Active Woman explores one reason many women offer for their lack of involvement in sport and exercise - that they are not the 'sporty' type. Precilla Y.L. Choi argues that the 'sporty' type is masculine and to determine how this notion might affect women's self-perceptions she critically examines the experiences of women athletes bodybuilders recreational exercisers and girls' physical education. What emerges is the importance of visible differences between women and men in terms of muscularity strength and agility in order to maintain the gender order. Thus if a girl or woman wishes to play the masculine game of sport she must do so in conformity with a number of patriarchal rules which ensure she is first and foremost recognised as a heterosexual feminine being.Contributing to a psychology of the physically active woman by examining women's experiences from critical feminist and gendered perspectives Femininity and the Physically Active Woman will be of great interest to students researchers practitioners and teachers from a range of disciplines.Precilla Y.L. Choi is the British Association for the Advancement of Science's Joseph Lister Lecturer for 2000. She has co-edited with Paula Nicolson Female Sexuality (Prentice Hall).

These sparkling essays argue for accounts of sexuality gender and subjectivity that make lesbianism intelligible and important for lesbians and non-lesbians alike. Moving between theoretical and autobiographical modes Biddy Martin brings different kinds of writing to bear upon one another. At a theoretical level her work takes issue with postmodern theory defending instead the role of psychoanalytic criticism. She argues for the continued validity of critical modes that do not abandon the unconscious in seeking to understand the relation of subjectivity to language. In so doing she addresses the work of writers thinkers and activists as varied as Mary Daly Michel Foucault Adrienne Rich Gayle Rubin Minnie Bruce Pratt Sigmund Freud Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick Audre Lorde Judith Butler and Joan Copjec.

Feminism The sheer number of publications on Feminism make it difficult for students who approach the subject for the first time to gain a sense of what the main issues and interpretations are. This book addresses this by offering students an overview of feminism and its history across several countries and time periods along with an annotated guide to direct them in their further reading. Feminism by June Hannam provides comprehensive coverage right from how feminists began to write the history of their movement as early as the late nineteenth century to the impact feminism has had on higher education. The text also looks in depth at propaganda and the cult of the heroine in suffrage campaigning and how ‘first wave’ feminists constructed their own history which then affected future generations of historians and activists.

Feminism Feminism is a cultural as well as a political movement. It changes the way women think and feel and affects how women and men live their lives and interpret the world. For this reason it has provoked lively debate and fierce antagonisms that have continued to the present day. Contemporary feminism and its concerns are rooted in a history stretching over at least two centuries. Feminism explores this history in a range of countries spanning the world. It asks does ‘feminism’ exist? Or are the differences among feminist today so great that we should speak of ‘feminisms’? The book looks at the challenge made by feminists to prevailing ideas about a ‘woman’s place’ the complex relationship between equality and difference women’s solidarity and the relationship between feminism and other social and political reform movements.

Feminism Culture and Embodied PracticeThe Rhetorics of Comparison Within both feminist theory and popular culture establishing similarities between embodied practices rooted in different cultural and geo-political contexts (e.g. ‘African’ female genital cutting and ‘Western’ cosmetic surgery) has become increasingly common as a means of countering cultural essentialism ethnocentrism and racism. Feminism Culture and Embodied Practice examines how cross cultural comparisons of embodied practices function as a rhetorical device – with particular theoretical social and political effects - in a range of contemporary feminist texts. It asks: Why and how are cross-cultural links among these practices drawn by feminist theorists and commentators and what do these analogies do? What knowledges hierarchies and figurations do these comparisons produce disrupt and/or reify in feminist theory and how do such effects resonate within popular culture? Taking a relational web approach that focuses on unravelling the binary threads that link specific embodied practices within a wider representational community this book highlights how we depend on and affect one another across cultural and geo-political contexts. This book is valuable reading for undergraduates postgraduates and researchers in Gender Studies Postcolonial or Race Studies Cultural and Media Studies and other related disciplines.

Feminism Labour and Digital MediaThe Digital Housewife There is a contradiction at the heart of digital media. We use commercial platforms to express our identity to build community and to engage politically. At the same time our status updates tweets videos photographs and music files are free content for these sites. We are also generating an almost endless supply of user data that can be mined re-purposed and sold to advertisers. As users of the commercial web we are socially and creatively engaged but also labourers exploited by the companies that provide our communication platforms. How do we reconcile these contradictions? Feminism Labour and Digital Media argues for using the work of Marxist feminist theorists about the role of domestic work in capitalism to explore these competing dynamics of consumer labour. It uses the concept of the Digital Housewife to outline the relationship between the work we do online and the unpaid sphere of social reproduction. It demonstrates how feminist perspectives expand our critique of consumer labour in digital media. In doing so the Digital Housewife returns feminist inquiry from the margins and places it at the heart of critical digital media analysis. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138575660

Feminism Literature and Rape NarrativesViolence and Violation The essays in this volume discuss narrative strategies employed by international writers when dealing with rape and sexual violence whether in fiction poetry memoir or drama. In developing these new feminist readings of rape narratives the contributors aim to incorporate arguments about trauma and resistance in order to establish new dimensions of healing. This book makes a vital contribution to the fields of literary studies and feminism since while other volumes have focused on retroactive portrayals of rape in literature to date none has focused entirely on the subversive work that is being done to retheorize sexual violence. Split into four sections the volume considers sexual violence from a number of different angles. 'Subverting the Story' considers how the characters of the victim and rapist might be subverted in narratives of sexual violence. In 'Metaphors for Resistance ' the essays explore how writers approach the subject of rape obliquely using metaphors to represent their suffering and pain. The controversy of not speaking about sexual violence is the focus of 'The Protest of Silence ' while 'The Question of the Visual' considers the problems of making sexual violence visible in the poetic image in film and on stage. These four sections cover an impressive range of world writing which includes curriculum staples like Toni Morrison Sarah Kane Sandra Cisneros Yvonne Vera and Sharon Olds.

Feminism Postfeminism and Legal TheoryBeyond the Gendered Subject? There is much debate about postfeminism what it is and its role in feminist politics. Whilst postfeminism has become increasingly influential in the study of literature popular culture and philosophy it has so far received comparatively little attention in law. This book aims to remedy this situation. The book brings together feminist legal scholars working in different contexts to examine the idea of postfeminism and assess its contemporary relevance. It explores a range of questions including the following: Does postfeminism describe an age that follows modernism an age where identity politics has realised its goals and feminism is no longer needed? Or does postfeminism describe the feminism of a postmodernist age where identity can mean anything at all? Or differently again does the term capture a ‘new feminism’ that discredits feminism and attempts to reshape its political consciousness? And what might the answers to these questions mean for law and legal theory and a feminist politics of law reform? Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367663070

Feminism Prostitution and the StateThe Politics of Neo-Abolitionism This edited volume focuses on charting the rise of neo-abolitionism and offering a critique of the idea its logics and consequences. A model of state policy which aims to abolish prostitution through legislation Neo-abolitionism criminalises the buyer of sex but not the seller. It is currently law in Sweden and other Nordic states and dominates the framing of policy debates in many other Western liberal contexts. Pressure for adoption of this policy has come from radical feminists who understand prostitution and sex trafficking as a form of violence against women. This volume argues that this convergence between radical feminism and state’s interests arises from the emergence of on the one hand ‘governance feminism’ which seeks to have its ideals implemented through ‘top-down sovereigntist means’ and on the other hand state’s interests in legitimising stricter border controls and law enforcement responses in relation to transnational organised criminality ‘illegal’ migration and security. Based around a series of country case studies each chapter will explore the politics surrounding the emergence of neo-abolitionism and its trajectory through those polities whether the paradigm has been adopted rejected or is still under debate. The volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of Social and Public Policy Gender and Women’s Studies Politics and International Relations and Critical Legal Studies/Criminology.     Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367221553

Feminism Psychoanalysis and Maternal Subjectivity In this book Alison Stone develops a feminist approach to maternal subjectivity. Stone argues that in the West the self has often been understood in opposition to the maternal body so that one must separate oneself from the mother and maternal care-givers on whom one depended in childhood to become a self or in modernity an autonomous subject. These assumptions make it difficult to be a mother and a subject an autonomous creator of meaning. Insofar as mothers nonetheless strive to regain their subjectivity when their motherhood seems to have compromised it theirs cannot be the usual kind of subjectivity premised on separation from the maternal body. Mothers are subjects of a new kind who generate meanings and acquire agency from their position of re-immersion in the realm of maternal body relations of bodily intimacy and dependency. Thus Stone interprets maternal subjectivity as a specific form of subjectivity that is continuous with the maternal body. Stone analyzes this form of subjectivity in terms of how the mother typically reproduces with her child her history of bodily relations with her own mother leading to a distinctive maternal and cyclical form of lived time.

Feminism and Addiction Feminism is a beneficial force in addictions therapy as they have the same goals--mending imbalances of power. A variety of important topics related to addictions treatment are addressed in this timely volume accompanied by concrete clinical solutions for therapists and counselors to use in their own practice. Feminism and Addiction demonstrates the positive impact feminism can have on addictions treatment. Addictions treatment methods that have been developed primarily based on research with men are examined and questioned to determine what changes need to be made to meet the needs of women. The applicability of twelve-step treatment programs for example is investigated as to whether its required adoption of belief in powerlessness is concurrent with feminism’s battle with female subjugation. This thought-provoking volume contains the most current theoretical social and clinical issues enmeshed in the debates between men’s experiences and women’s experiences of addiction. Critical issues addressed include advice for how to deal with issues of codependency; how to treat clients faced with physical or sexual abuse in addition to addiction; how to integrate cultural differences into treatment; and how to face the particular difficulties of gay and lesbian clients in addictions treatment. This valuable book will help you apply constructivist approaches to build therapy methods which are collaborative internal and organic thus more appropriate to treating women’s experience with addiction. Feminism and Addiction helps family therapists who work with women and their families strike a unique balance between the principles of feminism and family therapy’s goal of repairing and healing relationships between men and women.

Feminism and Families A ground-breaking volume of all new essays covering the conjunction of two topics--feminism and families--that for all their centrality in our culture have not been adequately examined in light of one another. While the family has suffered feminist neglect most women are in fact members of families living their lives within the social context of families even at a time when the concept of "family" has become bewilderingly unstable. The intersection of families and feminism is thus one in need of philosophical reflection as a basis both for good public policy and for the ethical relationships of intimate life.

Feminism and Feminists After Suffrage What happened in women’s history after the vote was won? Was the suffragette spirit quashed by the advent of the First World War and due to the achievement of women’s partial (1918) and then equal (1928) suffrage thereafter by having to wait to be reclaimed by the Women’s Liberation Movement only in the late 1960s? This collection explores how individual feminists and the feminist movement as a whole responded to the achievement of the central goal of votes for women. For many the post-suffrage years were anti-climactic and there is no disputing that the movement was in numerical decline struggling to appeal to a younger generation of women who knew nothing of the sacrifices that had been made to secure their citizenship rights and new freedoms. However feminists went in new and different directions identifying pressing issues from pacifism to religious reform from local activism to party politics. Women also organised around causes that were not explicitly feminist or were even anti-feminist and this book makes the important distinction between women in politics and women’s feminist activism. The range of feminist activism in the aftermath of suffrage speaks for the successes and mainstreaming of feminism and contributors to this volume contest the narrative of a terminal feminist decline between the wars. This book was originally published as a special issue of Women’s History Review. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138094772

Feminism and Materialism (RLE Feminist Theory)Women and Modes of Production These original essays are planned to provide a coherent basis for an understanding of women’s social and historical situation. This achieved by outlining the foundation of a systematic approach to an analysis of women’s relationship to modes of production and reproduction within a materialist framework. The essays each with a brief editorial introduction deal with issues and perspectives brought increasingly to the fore in recent years not only in the women’s movement but in the social sciences generally. The articles are wide-ranging covering such issues as patriarchy paid and unpaid labour and the state. The centrality of two of the major themes – the family and the labour process – suggests that an understanding of women’s situation is necessarily based on an analysis of the structures of production and reproduction. The authors’ aim in producing Feminism and Materialism is to confront systematically theoretical issues current in the developing area of women’s studies while recognising that this must constitute a critique of existing theoretical frameworks. The book will be of interest to teachers and students in the social sciences and in women’s studies as well as to all those who wish to develop an understanding of what a materialist approach to feminism might be.

Feminism and the Power of LoveInterdisciplinary Interventions The power of love has become a renewed matter of feminist and non-feminist attention in the 21st century’s theory debates. What is this power? Is it a form of domination? Or is it a liberating force in our contemporary societies? Within Feminism and the Power of Love lies the central argument that although love is a crucial site of gendered power asymmetries it is also a vital source of human empowerment that we cannot live without. Instead of emphasizing "either-or" this enlightening title puts the dualities and contradictions of love center stage. Indeed by offering various theoretical perspectives on what makes love such a central value and motivator for people this title will increase one’s understanding as to why love can keep people in its grip - even when practiced in ways that deplete and oppress. In light of such analyses the contributions within Feminism and the Power of Love present new perspectives on the conditions and characteristics of non-oppressive mutually enhancing ways of loving. Bridging the gap between Feminist Affect Studies and Feminist Love Studies this book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students including postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as women’s and gender studies sociology political science philosophy cultural studies and sexuality studies.

Feminism in AmericaA History William L. O'Neill's lively history of American women's struggle for equality is written with style and a keen sense for the variety of possible interpretations of 150 years of the feminist movement from its earliest stirring in the 1830's to the latest developments in the 1980s.O'Neill's most controversial thesis is that the feminist movements of the past have largely failed and for reasons that remains of deep concern; the movements have never come to grips with the fact that marriage and the family are the chief obstacles to women's emancipation. O'Neill also holds that the sexual revolution of the 1920s far from liberating women actually undermined their role in American life.O'Neill treats seriously the ideas of the great feminist leaders and their organizations. His was the first book to deal directly with the failure of feminism as a social force in American society; to tie together the scattered people and events in the history of American women; and to examine seriously feminist experience in the twentieth century. Since the women's agenda is hardly complete the women's movement remains active often militantly so. In this new revised edition O'Neill interprets and illumines not only the history of feminism but aspects of feminism that still trouble us today.O'Neill's book was widely heralded upon its initial publication. Elizabeth Janeway writing for Saturday Review calls it "a truly intelligent discussion...an extraordinary perceptive analysis." Carl Degler in the Magazine of History calls A History of American Feminism "the most challenging and exciting book on the subject of women to appear in years." And Lionel Tiger writing for the NewRepublic says that "O'Neill has turned his mastery of a wide range of historical sources into a lively engaging and almost faultlessly sensible book."

Feminism SeducedHow Global Elites Use Women's Labor and Ideas to Exploit the World In a pioneering reinterpretation of the role of mainstream feminism Eisenstein shows how the ruling elites of developed countries utilize women's labor and the ideas of women's liberation and empowerment to maintain their economic and political power both at home and abroad. Her explorations range from the abolition of "welfare as we know it" and the ending of the family wage in the United States to the creation of export-processing zones in the global South that depend on women's "nimble fingers"; and from the championing of microcredit as a path to women's empowerment in the global South to the claim of women's presumed liberation in the West as an ideological weapon in the war on terrorism. Eisenstein challenges activists and intellectuals to recognize that international feminism is at a fateful crossroads and argues that it is crucial for feminists to throw in their lot with the progressive forces that are seeking alternatives to globalized corporate capitalism.

This wide-ranging volume both maps the contemporary landscape of feminist social work research and offers a deep engagement with critical and third wave feminisms in social work research. Showcasing the breadth and depth of exemplary social work feminist research the editors argue that social work’s unique focus on praxis daily proximities to privilege and oppression concern with social change and engagement with participatory forms of inquiry place social workers in a unique position to both learn from and contribute to broader social science and humanities discourse associated with feminist research. The authors attend here to their specific claims of feminisms articulate deep engagement with theory address the problematic use of binaries and engage with issues associated with methods that are consistently of interest to feminist researchers such as power and authority ethics reflexivity praxis and difference. Comprehensive and containing an international selection of contributions Feminisms in Social Work Research is an important reference for all social work researchers with an interest in critical perspectives.

Feminism's Queer Temporalities Despite feminism’s uneven movements it has been predominantly understood through metaphors of generations or waves. Feminism's Queer Temporalities builds on critiques of the limitations of this linear model to explore alternative ways of imagining feminism’s timing. It finds in feminism’s literary and cultural archive narratives of temporality that might now be diagnosed as queer where queer designates modes of being historical that exceed the linear and the generational. Few theorists have looked to popular feminist figures literature and culture to theorize feminism’s timing. Through methodologically creative readings McBean explores non-generational anti-linear and asynchronous time in the figure of Antigone Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time the film Ladies and Gentlemen: The Fabulous Stains Valerie Solanas and SCUM Manifesto and Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home. The first to substantially bring together the ways in which time has come to matter in both feminist and queer disciplines this book will appeal to students and scholars of feminist queer and gender studies cultural studies and literary studies.

Feminist (Im)Mobilities in Fortress(ing) North AmericaRights Citizenships and Identities in Transnational Perspective Since the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) tensions concerning immigration trends and policies which continued to escalate at the turn of the millennium resulted in revised national security policies in Mexico Canada and the United States. These tensions have catalyzed the three governments to rethink their political and economic agendas. While national feminist scholarship in and on these respective countries continue to predominate since NAFTA there has been increasing feminist inquiry in a North American regional frame. Less has been done to understand challenges of the hegemonies of nation region and empire in this context and to adequately understand the meaning of (im)mobility in people's lives as well as the (im)mobilities of social theories and movements like feminism. Drawing from current feminist scholarship on intimacy and political economy and using three main frameworks: Fortressing Writs/Exclusionary Rights Mobile Bodies/Immobile Citizenships and Bordered/Borderland Identities a handpicked group of established and rising feminist scholars methodically examine how the production of feminist knowledge has occurred in this region. The economic racial gender and sexual normativities that have emerged and/or been reconstituted in neoliberal and securitized North America further reveal the depth of regional and global restructuring.

Feminist Activism at WarBelgrade and Zagreb Feminists in the 1990s This book describes compares explains and contextualises the positionings i.e. discourses and activities which feminists in Belgrade Serbia and Zagreb Croatia produced in relation to the (post-)Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. Two types of positionings are analysed: those which the feminists have produced on the (sexual) war violence and those which they have produced on each other. Applying a Bourdieuian framework and using interviews with key feminist and peace activists in the region alongside a thorough examination of organisational documents and printed media articles Ana Miškovska Kajevska challenges the common suggestion that the outbreak of the war violence in 1991 led to the same reorganisation of the Belgrade and Zagreb feminist fields. She corrects the understanding that the activists in each city who had up until then worked together without tensions divided at the same time and in the same manner into antinationalists and nationalists and began clashing with each other because of the different war-related positionings. Miškovska Kajevska explains further that the terms ‘antinationalist’ and ‘nationalist’ were not completely value-free and objective and had different meanings attached to them. These designations were an essential part not only of the local and international efforts to stop the (sexual) war violence but also of the struggle for legitimacy among the feminists in each city – endeavours in which many Western (feminist) academics activists and funders were involved too. In addition to providing insights into the situation in Croatia and Serbia this book will also help increase the understanding of intra-feminist dynamics in other regions of the world which are dominated by nationalism and war violence and where the work of the local feminists is closely intertwined with – and often dependent on – these activists’ contacts with foreign academic funding activist and/or political entities.

Feminist Advocacy Family Law and Violence against WomenInternational Perspectives Around the world discriminatory legislation prevents women from accessing their human rights. It can affect almost every aspect of a woman's life including the right to choose a partner inherit property hold a job and obtain child custody. Often referred to as family law these laws have contributed to discrimination and to the justification of gender-based violence globally. This book demonstrates how women across the world are contributing to legal reform helping to shape non-discriminatory policies and to counter current legal and social justifications for gender-based violence. The book takes case studies from Brazil India Iran Lebanon Nigeria Palestine Senegal and Turkey using them to demosntrate in each case the varied history of family law and the wide variety of issues impacting women’s equality in legislation. Interviews with prominent women's rights activists in three additional countries are also included giving personal accounts of the successes and failures of past reform efforts. Overall the book provides a complex global picture of current trends and strategies in the fight for a more egalitarian society. These findings come at a critical moment for change. Across the globe family law issues are contentious. We are simultaneously witnessing an increased demand for women’s equality and the resurgence of fundamentalist forces that impede reform  invoking rules rooted in tradition culture and interpretations of religious texts. The outcome of these disputes has enormous ramifications for women’s roles in the family and society. This book tackles these complexities head on and will interest activists practitioners students and scholars working on women's rights and gender-based violence.

Feminist Advocacy and Gender Equity in the Anglophone CaribbeanEnvisioning a Politics of Coalition This book uses the Anglophone Caribbean as its site of critique to explore two important questions within development studies. First to what extent has the United Nations' call to implement gender-mainstreaming projects resulted in the realization of gender equity for women within developing societies? Second does gender-mainstreaming have the conceptual operational and technical capacities to address the centrality of the body in 21st-century lobbies for gender equity? In answering these questions Rowley examines such issues as reproductive rights and equity sexual harassment and sexual minorities' rights. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415847650

Feminist Approaches for Men in Family Therapy This book is the first of its kind to address the treatment of men in marital and family therapy from a political or feminist perspective. Feminist Approaches for Men in Family Therapy is an important and provocative addition to the field of family therapy and psychotherapy and works to deepen the understanding of men by using more traditional approaches. Timely and relevant to today’s interest in men’s issues this book develops and demonstrates applications of treatment methods in straightforward prose from a variety of family therapy models. These techniques and methods enable anyone working with men--beginning and advanced clinicians regardless of clinical preference or loyalty--to have a more effective practice with men. Truly reflecting its title this provocative volume offers new ways of conceptualizing male development and the dilemmas of men in therapy while providing exemplars of the wide range of clinical work this perspective enriches. Chapters concisely summarize the major benefits and limitations of conventional approaches to treating men and provide beginning conceptualizations of treatment issues with men that are grounded in social theory sensitivity to power issues and the social context and shifting cultural definitions of masculinity femininity and the nature of marriage. Other chapters employ the exciting and germane concepts of social constructionism to analyze belief systems about men and how cultural ideals shape and limit the personal development of men. An ideal resource for all therapists striving for excellence in treating men. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315801391

These include spirituality sexuality the representation of women in art the necessary inter-relationship of theory and action women as artmakers ethnicity language itself so-called postfeminism and critiques of hte art world the discipline of art history and the practice of art criticism. Second the contributors' work has not been either widely disseminated or readily available. Third the essays especially arranged as they are (chronologically) demonstrate a continuous feminist discourse in art from the early 1970s through the present a discourse that is neither monolithic nor intellectually trendy but that rather exhibits many elements the polemical Marxist lyrical and poststructuralist being only a few."

Feminist Biblical Interpretation in Theological ContextRestless Readings This title was first published in 2002: The premise of the text is that there is a continuing need for biblical hermeneutic propsals and frameworks which emerge from the fields of both feminism and Christian theology. Feminism the author asserts demands not only the plotting of new routes but the restructuring of entire landscapes. As such this project since it seeks to develop a feminist theological frame for meaning impinges on and is impacted by innumerable inter-relating questions. In consequence the scope of the book is necessarily both broad and interdisiplinary. The author J'annine Jobling uses particular texts and has articulated her own positions in response. In this way the embodied practice of thinking-in-relation is mirrored in the texts produced. This has determined the macro-structure of the thesis which is based on an analysis of two feminist biblical scholars: Elisabeth Schussler Fionenza and Phyllis Trible. From this analysis Jobling identifies two primary principles for interpretation: rememberance and destabilization. This is a strategy which allows both materialist and post-structuralist perspectives to be set into play each of which has vital contributions to make to feminist enterprises. The "Bible" is understood as matrix as a set of discourses which are permeable to and intersect with other cultural discourses. The task of feminist interpretation is then to reconstitute the heterogenous biblical matrix in feminist horizons. A fundamental tenet of the book is that hermeneutics inhabits particular metaphysical constructs. Therefore the argument extends from an interpretation of the Bible to an epistemological framework in which an eschatological hereneutic is recommended to a metaphysical framework which takes eschatology as its structuring principle. The author argues that it is eschatology which can provide the resources for an ontological model radically disruptive of a metaphysics of presence and in which it is possible to discern the traces of God. From this outermost limit of the author's hermeneutic investigations the text returns to the centre: the feminist discursive community and develops a construct that the ekklesia as a feminist deliberative space set oppositionally to structures worldviews and idealogies operates on patriarchal logics. The relationship of this "imagined community" is compared to the Christian Church and scripture ethics and gendered identity within a logic of equity.

Feminist Christian EncountersThe Methods and Strategies of Feminist Informed Christian Theologies Originally published in 2004. Feminist discourses have focused sustained and sometimes devastating critical attention on Christianity over the last fifty years. Today feminisms remain significant but often ambiguous forces in contemporary Christian theology. At a time in which questions about the success and viability of feminisms are increasingly posed Feminist Christian Encounters makes a unique contribution to the ongoing investigation into the creative relationship between feminisms and Christianity. Angela Pears identifies some of the key theological and methodological mechanisms by which Christian feminist theologies are informed sustained and made possible by feminist values and critiques. Pears argues that certain strategies characterize the facilitation of this dialogue in contemporary Christian feminist theologies enabling theologians to accept the values and critiques of feminisms whilst at the same time proclaim some level of commitment to Christianity. Engaging in a process of deconstruction of the methodologies of key Christian theological thinkers who have made use of feminisms in their theologies this book reveals the mechanisms of feminist Christian encounter at work.

Feminist Counselling and Domestic Violence in India Mainstream counselling in domestic violence often fails to address critical issues such as gender socialisation processes and the abuse of power that allows violence against women and focuses primarily on the intra-psychic nature of individual women. In contrast feminist counselling is an effective alternative model owing to its ability to address the fundamental correlation of abuse with power. In going beyond the individual it helps women locate the source of their distress in the larger social context of power and control manifesting in intimate interpersonal relationships and enables them to resist systemic oppression.This volume offers one of the first systematic documentations of feminist psychosocial interventions in India. It situates the issue of domestic violence in the historical context of the women’s movement and examines institutional factors such as family and marriage that perpetuate abuse. Using extensive case studies it discusses the methods principles techniques skills and procedures followed by feminist organisations across the country and their role in women’s empowerment. The book will serve as a practical reference guide to practitioners such as social workers counsellors and para-counsellors health activists grassroots workers protection officers and service providers. It will also be useful to scholars and students of psychology sociology women’s studies law and public policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge India 9781138660335

Feminist Criminology Feminist criminology grew out of the Women’s Movement of the 1970s in response to the male dominance of mainstream criminology – which meant that not only were women largely excluded from carrying out criminological research they were also barely considered as subjects of that research. In this volume Claire Renzetti traces the development of feminist criminology from the 1970s to the present examining the diversity of feminisms which have developed: liberal feminist criminology Marxist radical and socialist feminist criminologies structured action theory left realism postmodern feminism black/multiracial feminist criminology. She shows how these perspectives have made a great impact on the discipline the academy and the criminal justice system but also highlights the limitations of this influence. How far has feminist criminology transformed research and knowledge production education and practice? And how can feminist criminologists continue to shape the future of the discipline?

Feminist Criticism and Social Change (RLE Feminist Theory)Sex class and race in literature and culture This lively and controversial collection of essays sets out to theorize and practice a ‘materialist-feminist’ criticism of literature and culture. Such a criticism is based on the view that the material conditions in which men and women live are central to an understanding of culture and society. It emphasises the relation of gender to other categories of analysis such as class and race and considers the connection between ideology and cultural practice and the ways in which all relations of power change with changing social and economic conditions. By presenting a wide range of work by major feminist scholars this anthology in effect defines as well as illustrates the materialist-feminist tendency in current literary criticism. The essays in the first part of the book examine race ideology and the literary canon and explore the ways in which other critical discourse such as those of deconstruction and French feminism might be useful to a feminist and materialist criticism. The second part of the book contains examples of such criticism in practice with studies of individual works writers and ideas. An introduction by the editors situates the collected essays in relation both to one another and to a shared materialist/feminist project. Feminist Criticism and Social Change demonstrates the important contribution of materialist-feminist criticism to our understanding of literature and society and fulfils a crucial need among those concerned with gender and its relation to criticism.

Feminist Encounters with Legal Philosophy Presenting feminist readings of texts from the legal philosophical and jurisprudential canon the papers collected here offer an interdisciplinary and critical challenge to established modes of reading law. Feminist approaches to law usually take the form of either critical engagements with legal doctrine legal concepts and ideas or critical assessments of the effects that specific areas of law have upon the lives of women. This collection however although rooted in feminist legal scholarship takes the established canon of legal texts as the object of inquiry. Taking as their common starting point the fact that legal texts are plural and open to multiple readings all the contributions in this collection offer subversive but supplementary interpretations of the legal canon. In this respect however they do not merely sustain an array of feminist styles and theories of reading; revealing and re-appropriating the plural space of legal interpretation they seek to open a hitherto unexplored arena for a feminist politics of law. Feminist Encounters with Legal Philosophy is a thoroughly researched interdisciplinary collection that will interest students and scholars of Law Philosophy and Feminism.

Feminist EschatologyEmbodied Futures Many feminist theologians have made timely and valuable contributions to rethinking the eschaton by framing it as cyclical and by embracing endings as they are experienced by present relational fluid and sensuous bodies. However any sense of eschatological finality or ultimacy has either been rejected or ignored. Feminist Eschatology seeks to think differently about Christian eschatology in light of contributions from feminist theologians noting the numerous and varied critiques they have made of traditional models. These critiques are identified as being directed towards three key claims: eschatology is understood to be actuated by a domineering God populated by masculinised beings and disassociated from present lives. Using a form of strategic feminism wherein traits associated with female bodies and some women's experiences of their bodies are used to rethink the end-time of the eschaton this book contributes to the meaning and significance of both bodies and eschatology.

Feminist Experiences (RLE Feminist Theory)The Women's Movement in Four Cultures The Women’s Movement is usually referred to as if it were a constant global phenomenon. There are women’s movements in Europe North and South America Africa the Middle East India Japan and Australia and many women and men assume that they are regional manifestations of the same thing and share a common core. Susan Bassnett has lived and been involved in the struggles of the women’s movement in the United States Italy and the United Kingdom and has had extensive contacts with feminists in the German Democratic Republic. On the basis of her personal experiences and study of women’s history and literature in these countries she is able to present a striking picture of the variety of feminist aims tactics and priorities in the four countries and of the character of the women’s movement in four very different cultures. In Italy she focuses on the violence of the women’s movement – its intellectualism and energy. In analysing the American women’s movement she dwells on its roots in the past and its faith in pragmatic solutions. The GDR presents completely different questions hinging on the relationship between state socialism and feminism. In the UK Susan Bassnett finds herself returning to that all-pervasive aspect of British life – class and its importance for feminists. Throughout the author writes with a double commitment: first to furthering our understanding of the diversity of aims of women’s movements and their common ground – the no-man’s land of female existence; second to making her book as accessible as possible to all feminists through drawing on her own personal experience of countries in which she has lived worked travelled and made friends.

Feminist Foremothers in Women's Studies Psychology and Mental Health Feminist Foremothers in Women’s Studies Psychology and Mental Health is by and about the more recent wave of feminist foremothers; those who were awakened in the 1960s and ’70s to the realization that something was terribly wrong. These are the women who created the fields of feminist therapy feminist psychology and women’s mental health as they exist today. The 48 women share their life stories in the hope that they will inspire and encourage readers to take their own risks and their own journeys to the outer edges of human possibility. Authors write about what led up to their achievements what their accomplishments were and how their lives were consequently changed. They describe their personal stages of development in becoming feminists from unawareness to activism to action. Some women focus on the painful barriers to success fame and social change; others focus on the surprise they experience at how well they and the women’s movement have done. Some well-known feminist foremothers featured include: Phyllis Chesler Gloria Steinem Kate Millett Starhawk Judy Chicago Zsuszanna Emese Budapest Andrea Dworkin Jean Baker Miller Carol Gilligan In Feminist Foremothers in Women’s Studies Psychology and Mental Health many of the women see in hindsight how prior projects and ideas and even dreams were the forerunners to their most important work. They note the importance of sisterhood and the presence of other women and the loneliness and isolation experienced when they don’t exist. They note the validation they have received from grassroots feminists in contrast to disbelief from professionals. Although these women have been and continue to be looked up to as foremothers they realize how little recognition they’ve been given from society-at-large and how much better off their male counterparts are. Some foremothers write about the feeling of being different not meshing with the culture of the time and about challenging the system as an outsider not an insider. These are women who had few mentors who had to forge their own way “hit the ground running.” Their stories will challenge readers to press on to continue the work these foremothers so courageously started.Throughout the pages of Feminist Foremothers in Women’s Studies Psychology and Mental Health runs a sense of excitement and vibrancy of lives lived well of being there during the early years of the women’s movement of making sacrifices of taking risks and living to see enormous changes result. Throughout these pages too sounds a call not to take these changes for granted but to recognize that feminists rather than arguing over picayune issues or splitting politically correct hairs are battling for the very soul of the world.

Feminist GeopoliticsAt the Sharp End Building on a trans-disciplinary feminist project that foregrounds the bodies of those at the ‘sharp end’ of various forms of international activity such as immigration development and warfare the chapters included in this book cover a variety of sites concerns and hopes. These range from the fraught geopolitics of marriage and birth in Ladakh India to the fate of detained migrant children in the U.S. and from the human rights abuses of women and children in Uzbekistan to the body politics of aid workers in Afghanistan. The collective aim is to expose the force relations that operate through and upon those bodies such that particular subjectivities are enhanced constrained and put to work and particular corporealities are violated exploited and often abandoned. Oriented around issues of security population territory and nationalism these chapters expose the proliferating bodies of geopolitics not simply as the bearers of socially demarcated borders and boundaries but as vulnerable corporealities seeking to negotiate and transform the geopolitics they both animate and inhabit.

Feminist GeopoliticsMaterial States What can unfold from an engagement of feminist issues concerns and practices with the geopolitical? How does feminism allow for a reconfiguration of how these two elements the geo- and the -political are understood and related? What kinds of objects can be located and put into motion? What kinds of relations can be drawn between these? What kinds of practice become valued? And what is glossed or rendered absent in the process? In this thought-provoking and original contribution Deborah P. Dixon cautions against the exhaustion of feminist geopolitics as a critique of both a classical and a critical geopolitics and points instead to how feminist imaginaries of Self Other and Earth allow for all manner of work to be undertaken. Importantly one of the things they provide for is a reservoir of concerns thoughts and practices that can be reappropriated to flesh out what a feminist geopolitics can be. While providing a much-needed sustained interjection that draws out achievements to date the book thus gestures forward to productive lines of inquiry and method. Grounded via a series of globally diverse case studies that traverse time as well as space Feminist Geopolitics feels for the borders of geopolitical thought and practice by navigating four complex and corporeally-aware objects of analysis namely flesh bone touch and abhorrence.

Feminist Global Political Economies of the Everyday This collection interrogates the multifaceted ways in which global transformations are constituted by deeply gendered socio-economic practices at the level of the ‘everyday’. It brings feminist insights to bear on the emerging International Political Economy (IPE) debates about ‘the everyday’ showing how gender is key to understanding how political economy is enacted and performed at the local level by non-elites and via various cultural practices. Drawing on ‘everyday’ IPE and a longer-standing body of feminist scholarship that documents and theorizes the mutually constitutive nature of on the one hand global markets and on the other households families relations of social reproduction and gendered socio-economic practices this collection charts the lived realities of people and communities across a wide range of sites and spaces of the global political economy. It considers how globalizing capitalism affects and is in turn affected by Argentine sex workers Nepalese private security contractors Canadian call centre workers Southeast Asian domestic workers workers and players in British bingo halls working class households in the UK and much more. It demonstrates through detailed empirical research that a gender lens is crucial for understanding how and on what terms individuals and households are becoming ever more enmeshed in capitalist social relations and how they actively and creatively resist these processes. The chapters originally published as a special issue in Globalizations.

Feminist Histories and Digital Media Addressing current trends in feminist historical and literary scholarship in relation to digital media this book looks at how the field has developed since the first feminist archival research projects were initiated over twenty years ago. The contributions to the book explore three key concerns: projects which document the history of women’s political activism; the digitising of primary document archives by women; and the impact of digitisation on historical research about women. In addition the book sheds light on the way in which historians and literary scholars fuse digital sources with traditional forms such as books and journal articles to imagine different and ground-breaking histories of women’s experience.With the field of feminist history and its relationship to the digital world in a dynamic position the contributions to this volume can be read as signposts for future research in the field posing questions for scholars and readers to explore in more detail.

Feminist Interventions in Participatory MediaPedagogy Publics Practice Feminist Interventions in Participatory Media is an edited collection that brings together feminist theory and participatory media pedagogy. It asks what if anything is inherently feminist about participatory media? Can participatory media practices and pedagogies be used to reanimate or enact feminist futures? And finally what reimagined feminist pedagogies are opened up (or closed down) by participatory media across various platforms spaces scales and practices? Each chapter looks at a specific example where the author(s) have used participatory media to integrate technology and feminist praxis in production and teaching. The case studies originate from sites as varied as community organizations to large scale collaborations between universities public media and social movements. They offer insights into the continuities and disjunctures which stem from the adoption of and adaption to participatory media technologies. In complicating and dismantling perceptions of participatory media as inherently liberatory Feminist Interventions in Participatory Media curbs the excesses of such claims and highlights those pedagogical methods and processes that do hold liberatory potential. This collection thus provides a roadmap toward (re)imagining feminist futures while grounding that journey in the histories practices and past insights of feminism and media studies.

Feminist Knowledge (RLE Feminist Theory)Critique and Construct The ‘minority’ feminist viewpoints have often been submerged in the interests of maintaining a mainstream universal model of feminism. This anthology takes into account the various differences among women while looking at the important areas of feminist struggle. While sisterhood is indeed global it certainly does not mean that all women are required to submerge their specific differences and assimilate to a universal model. Consequently the collection includes essays by leaders in the field of post-structuralist enquiry as well as by those immersed in the new spirituality and the social consequences of recent biological research. Other essays reflect the political struggles which continue to be waged with different strategies by socialist and radical feminists and the self-searching analyses undertaken by feminists uneasy about their inclusion within educational institutions and the radical new interpretations of sexuality within the cultural domain. The collection begins with a critique of white mainstream feminism emanating from Aboriginal women in Australia. The implications of the critique indicate that there is a pervasive racism within the feminist movement. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415754132

Feminist Modernism Poetics and the New EconomyMina Loy Lola Ridge and Marianne Moore In Feminist Modernism Poetics and the New Economy Linda A. Kinnahan argues that the work of Mina Loy Lola Ridge and Marianne Moore engages with the variations in feminist economic thought and discourse that developed in American culture from the 1890s through the 1920s. Kinnahan positions her study in relationship to the gendered field of economic discourse and cultural change that attended corporate consumer capitalism's astonishing ascendance before the collapse of the Great Depression. Focusing primarily on poetry written and published early in the poets' careers Kinnahan considers each of the writers alongside a particular strand of the era's feminist economic thought: Mina Loy and debates relating to Emma Goldman Margaret Sanger and other contemporary feminists; Lola Ridge and concepts of labor and the working woman; and Marianne Moore and the systems of exchange value labor and possession that underlie tensions between modern consumption and human need. Kinnahan concludes with a discussion of the directions taken by these poets during and in Loy’s case just after the Great Depression establishing that women and their ideas contributed significantly to an economic rethinking of gender and to a gendered rethinking of modern economics.

Feminist Movements in Contemporary Japan In contemporary Japan there is much ambivalence about women’s roles and the term "feminism" is not widely recognised or considered relevant.  Nonetheless as this book shows there is a flourishing feminist movement in contemporary Japan.  The book investigates the features and effects of feminism in contemporary Japan in non-government (NGO) women’s groups government-run women’s centres and the individual activities of feminists Haruka Yoko and Kitahara Minori.  Based on two years of fieldwork conducted in Japan and drawing on extensive interviews and ethnographic data it argues that the work of individual activists and women’s organisations in Japan promotes real and potential change to gender roles and expectations among Japanese women. It explores the ways that feminism is created promoted and limited among Japanese women and advocates a broader construction of what the feminist movement is understood to be and a rethinking of the boundaries of feminist identification. It also addresses the impact of legislation government bureaucracy literature and the internet as avenues of feminist development and details the ways which these promote agency – the ability to act – among Japanese women.

Feminist Nationalism Feminist Nationalism demonstrates how feminism is redefining nationalism by presenting case studies from Europe the Middle East Africa Asia and the Americas. Consisting of social movements and cultural ideologies feminist nationalism links struggles for women's rights with struggles for group identity rights and/or national sovereignty in their goals of self-determination. Many analyses of nationalism assume it is identical for women and men in its definition and operation. This collection challenges that framework by placing women at the center and demonstrating how feminism is redefining nationalism both in particular cases and in the global context.

Feminist Organizations and Social Transformation in Latin America Away from the public eye but from within the structures of stable and efficient organizations women's groups have established nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to pursue feminist agendas. Feminist Organizations and Social Transformation in Latin America constitutes one of the first detailed analyses of the political and educational work of these organizations. Focusing on NGOs in the Dominican Republic and Peru the book presents three case studies of feminist work showing the careful balance they must navigate among satisfying basic needs promoting legislation to address profound gender asymmetries and creating countercultures essential to the development of a gender-attenuated society. In documenting the work of feminist NGOs Stromquist identifies the ways they provide nonformal education (outside the school system) and informal learning (through experiences and internal discussions) to produce a new consciousness and assertive identities among women.

Feminist Perspectives on ArtContemporary Outtakes When the body is foregrounded in artwork â€“ as in much contemporary performance sculptural installation and video work – so is gendered and sexualised difference. Feminist Perspectives on Art: Contemporary Outtakes looks to interactions between art history theory curation and studio-based practices to theorise the phenomenological import of this embodied gender difference in contemporary art. The essays in this collection are rooted in a wide variety of disciplines including art-making curating and art history and criticism with many of the authors combining roles of curator artist and writer. This interdisciplinary approach enables the book to bridge the theory–practice divide and highlight new perspectives emerging from creative arts research. Fresh insights are offered on feminist aesthetics women’s embodied experience curatorial and art historical method art world equity and intersectional concerns. It engages with epistemological assertions of ‘how the body feels’ how the land has creative agency in Indigenous art and how the use of emotional or affective registers may form one’s curatorial method. This anthology represents a significant contribution to a broader resurgence of feminist thought methodology and action in contemporary art particularly in creative practice research.

Feminist Perspectives on Law and Theory What is the link between the way in which women are viewed as an aberration within law - such that pregnant women initially had to be compared with sick men to claim unfair dismissal - and the view of women as monstrous within philosophy? This book uses the failure of women to fit within male models of both law and theory as a way to rethink legal questions including the meaning of equality freedom justice and citizenship. This includes concern about the way in which queer theory and critical race theory - as well as issues of class - intersect with feminist theory today. It also raises issues about the relationship between political theory and practice and the productive intersection between debates within law philosophy and feminism. This collection of essays on feminist legal theory therefore provides an interdisciplinary approach drawn not only from law and philosophy but also from cultural and womens studies. Feminism may still be on the margins of both law and philosophy yet it has the ability to disrupt both. This book moves beyond a feminist critique of existing frameworks to the constructive project of reworking theory from within. It goes beyond debates of traditional jurisprudence to draw its tools from the growing body of work on feminist philosophy - including the writings of Luce Irigaray Drucilla Cornell and Christine Battersby - which intersect both contemporary continental philosophy and critical legal theory.   Media > Books > E-books Routledge-Cavendish 9781843140436

Feminist Posthumanisms New Materialisms and Education This edited collection is a careful assemblage of papers that have contributed to the maturing field within education studies that works with the feminist implications of the theories and methodologies of posthumanism and new materialism – what we have also called elsewhere ‘PhEmaterialism’. The generative questions for this collection are: what if we locate education in doing and becoming rather than being? And how does associating education with matter multiplicity and relationality change how we think about agency ontology and epistemology? This collection foregrounds cutting edge educational research that works to trouble the binaries between theory and methodology. It demonstrates new forms of feminist ethics and response-ability in research practices and offers some coherence to this new area of research. This volume will provide a vital reference text for educational researchers and scholars interested in this burgeoning area of theoretically informed methodology and methodologically informed theory.The chapters in this book were originally published as articles in Taylor & Francis journals.

Feminist PracticesInterdisciplinary Approaches to Women in Architecture Women continue to be extremely under-represented in the architectural profession. Despite equal numbers of male and female students entering architectural studies there is at least 17-25% attrition of female students and not all remaining become practicing architects. In both the academic and the professional fields of architecture positions of power and authority are almost entirely male and as such the profession is defined by a heterosexual Eurasian male perspective. This book argues that it is vital for all architectural students and practitioners to be exposed to a diversity of contemporary architectural practices as this might provide a first step into broadening awareness and transforming architectural engagement. It considers the relationships between feminist methodologies and the various approaches toward design and their impact upon our understanding and relationship to the built environment. In doing so this collection challenges two conventional ideas: firstly the definition of architecture and secondly what constitutes a feminist practice. This collection of up-and-coming female architects and designers use a wide range of local and global examples of their work to question different aspects of these two conventional ideas. While focusing on feminist perspectives the book offers insights into many different issues concerns and interpretations of architecture proposing through these types of engagement architecture can become more culturally politically and environmentally relevant. This 'next generation' of architects claim feminism as their own and through doing so help define what feminism means and how it is evolving in the 21st century.

Feminist Reception Studies in a Post-Audience AgeReturning to Audiences and Everyday Life This book makes an important return to reception studies at an exciting juncture of media distribution and modes of consumption. The editors’ introduction contextualizes this new work within a long history of feminist approaches to audience research and argues that new media forms require new methods of research that remain invested in questions of gender sexuality and power. The contributions are rooted in the dynamics of everyday life and present innovative approaches to media and audiences. These include investigating online contexts transnational flows of media images and new possibilities of self-representation and distribution.

Feminist Solidarity at the CrossroadsIntersectional Women’s Studies for Transracial Alliance Women’s studies programs and departments face ongoing fall-out from an economic crisis in higher education. Taking the form of budget-cuts reduction of faculty lines and other resource allocations for some programs and departments it has meant at best a loss of disciplinary autonomy through consolidation and at worst academic foreclosure. Feminist Solidarity at the Crossroads articulates a politics of commitment hope and possibility wrought in the coming-together of a group of feminist women and men—across racial cultural nation/state sexual and gender differences—during a tough budgetary time threatening Women’s Studies programs across the nation. This anthology affirms the continued necessity of bridge-building alliances in women’s studies and contemplates with promise the theory and practice of feminist solidarity forged through the course of its production. While the essays in this book display a complex diversity of feminist thought and modes of intersectional strategies they reflect a unity of comradery and a spirit of collectivity so necessary for these turbulent times.

Feminist SpacesGender and Geography in a Global Context Feminist Spaces introduces students and academic researchers to major themes and empirical studies in feminist geography. It examines new areas of feminist research including: embodiment sexuality masculinity intersectional analysis and environment and development. In addition to considering gender as a primary subject this book provides a comprehensive overview of feminist geography by highlighting contemporary research conducted from a feminist framework which goes beyond the theme of gender to include issues such as social justice activism (dis)ability and critical pedagogy. Through case studies this book challenges the construction of dichotomies that tend to oversimplify categories such as developed and developing urban and rural and the Global North and South without accounting for the fluid and intersecting aspects of gender space and place. The chapters weave theoretical and empirical material together to meet the needs of students new to feminism as well as those with a feminist background but new to geography through attention to basic geographical concepts in the opening chapter. The text encourages readers to think of feminist geography as addressing not only gender but a set of methodological and theoretical perspectives applied to a range of topics and issues. A number of interactive exercises activities and ‘boxes’ or case studies illustrate concepts and supplement the text. These prompts encourage students to explore and analyze their own positionality as well as motivate them to change and impact their surroundings. Feminist Spaces emphasizes activism and critical engagement with diverse communities to recognize this tradition in the field of feminism as well as within the discipline of geography. Combining theory and practice as a central theme this text will serve graduate level students as an introduction to the field of feminist geography and will be of interest to students in related fields such as environmental studies development and women’s and gender studies.

Feminist Subjectivities in Fiber Art and CraftShadows of Affect This book interprets the fiber art and craft-inspired sculpture by eight US and Latin American women artists whose works incite embodied affective experience. Grounded in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari John Corso Esquivel posits craft as a material act of intuition. The book provocatively asserts that fiber art—long disparaged in the wake of the high–low dichotomy of late Modernism—is in fact well-positioned to lead art at the vanguard of affect theory and twenty-first-century feminist subjectivities.

Feminist TechnoecologiesReimagining Matters of Care and Sustainability This book develops the concept of feminist technoecologies as a theoretical and methodological tool for examining the co-constitutive relation between technology and ecology which have typically been considered as distinct objects of studies. In underscoring how their dynamic relationality troubles the location of agency this book challenges the idea that technology as the marker of the innovative capacity of the human either corrupts or saves ecology. The contributions to the volume present feminist approaches that contextualise and historicize such issues as multi-species survival border control regimes solar power bioart artificial intelligence and air pollution. They insist on the centrality of corporeality affects ethics and vulnerability in the materialisation of technoecological relations and call into question the exceptional status of the figure of (hu)Man. Together they offer critical and creative tools or modes of inquiry for imagining alternative modalities of practicing care and thinking environmental sustainability. As a creative contribution to the growing literature on new configurations of bodies technologies and environments against the backdrop of ecological degradation digital technologization and precarity in late capitalism Feminist Technoecologies extends the interchanges between feminist materialisms environmental humanities and feminist technosciences studies and will be a resource for all those interested in these fields.

Feminist Theories of Crime This collection re-imagines the field of criminology with insights gleaned from feminist theory. Works included here illustrate that gender is a key organizing principle of social life. This means that men and women have gender that patriarchy as well as gender must be theorized and that other systems of oppression such as race and class must also be studied to fully understand the crime problem and the criminal justice system. Finally the articles collected here exemplify the feminist concern for thinking consciously about how and why we do our research with the crucial goal of producing knowledge that will promote social justice.

Feminist Theory Across DisciplinesFeminist Community and American Women's Poetry Defying traditional definitions of public and private as gendered terms and broadening discussion of women’s writing in relation to feminist work done in other fields this study addresses American women’s poetry from the seventeenth to late-twentieth century. Engaging the fields of literary criticism anthropology psychology history political theory religious culture cultural studies and poetics this study provides entry into some of the founding feminist discussions across disciplines moving beyond current scholarship to pursue an interpretation of feminism’s defining interests and assumptions in the context of women’s writing. The author emphasizes and explores how women’s writing expresses their active participation in community and civic life emerging from and shaping a woman’s selfhood as constituted through relationships not only on the personal level but as forming community commitments. This distinctive formation of the self finds expression in women’s voices and other poetic forms of expression with the aesthetic power of poetry itself bringing different arenas of human experience to bear on each other in mutual interrogation and reflection. Women poets have addressed the public world directly or through a variety of poetic structures and figures and in doing so they have defined and expressed specific forms of selfhood engaged in and committed to communal life.

Feminist Translation StudiesLocal and Transnational Perspectives Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives situates feminist translation as political activism. Chapters highlight the multiple agendas and visions of feminist translation and the different political voices and cultural heritages through which it speaks across times and places addressing the question of how both literary and nonliterary discourses migrate and contribute to local and transnational processes of feminist knowledge building and political activism. This collection does not pursue a narrow fixed definition of feminism that is based solely on (Eurocentric or West-centric) gender politics—rather Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives seeks to expand our understanding of feminist action not only to include feminist translation as resistance against multiple forms of domination but also to rethink feminist translation through feminist theories and practices developed in different geohistorical and disciplinary contexts. In so doing the collection expands the geopolitical sociocultural and historical scope of the field from different disciplinary perspectives pointing towards a more transnational interdisciplinary and overtly political conceptualization of translation studies.

Feminist Views from SomewherePost-Jungian themes in feminist theory Feminist Views from Somewhere: Post-Jungian Themes in Feminist Theory explores what and how Jungian thought contributes to feminist thinking. Broadly speaking feminist thinking or thinking by and about women as autonomous intelligent and independent agents has opened up scholarship through insightful reflective critique and practice. This is the starting point of this collection from a range of theorists interested in the multiple concerns of Jungian and analytical psychology. The contributors take a unique approach to Jungian thinking. Rather than focusing on its mythological aspects the authors develop alternative feminist approaches that enhance the appreciation of the possibilities for Jungian and post-Jungian studies. With a primarily theoretical orientation the rigorous critical approaches in the collection highlight the possibilities of imaginative Jungian theory. Divided into three parts ‘Viewing Earth’ ‘Clinical Perspectives’ and ‘Literary Landscapes’ the chapters cover themes including embodiment intersubjectivity individuation and narrative. The contributors vividly reflect the range and diversity of opinions amongst women influenced by Jungian thought. Feminist Views from Somewhere is essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies women’s studies and gender studies as well as analytical psychologists in practice and in training.

Feminist Visions and Queer Futures in Postcolonial DramaCommunity Kinship and Citizenship In this timely study Batra examines contemporary drama from India Jamaica and Nigeria in conjunction with feminist and incipient queer movements in these countries. Postcolonial drama Batra contends furthers the struggle for gender justice in both these movements by contesting the idea of the heterosexual middle class wage-earning male as the model citizen and by suggesting alternative conceptions of citizenship premised on working-class sexual identities. Further Batra considers the possibility of Indian Jamaican and Nigerian drama generating a discourse on a rights-bearing conception of citizenship that derives from representations of non-biological non-generational forms of kinship. Her study is one of the first to examine the ways in which postcolonial dramatists are creating the possibility of a dialogue between cultural activism women’s movements and an emerging discourse on queer sexualities.

Feminist War Games?Mechanisms of War Feminist Values and Interventional Games Feminist War Games? explores the critical intersections and collisions between feminist values and perceptions of war by asking whether feminist values can be asserted as interventional approaches to the design play and analysis of games that focus on armed conflict and economies of violence. Focusing on the ways that games both digital and table-top can function as narratives arguments methods and instruments of research the volume demonstrates the impact of computing technologies on our perceptions ideologies and actions. Exploring the compatibility between feminist values and systems of war through games is a unique way to pose destabilizing questions solutions and approaches; to prototype alternative narratives; and to challenge current idealizations and assumptions. Positing that feminist values can be asserted as a critical method of design as an ideological design influence and as a lens that determines how designers and players interact with and within arenas of war the book addresses the persistence and brutality of war and issues surrounding violence in games whilst also considering the place and purpose of video games in our cultural moment. Feminist War Games? is a timely volume that questions the often-toxic nature of online and gaming cultures.

Feminists and State Welfare (RLE Feminist Theory) Designed for students of social policy and women’s studies this text gives a readable account of the wide range of feminist ideas about women and welfare. The authors draw on feminist theory research and analysis to explore women’s experiences of welfare and the debates within feminism on how and why the welfare state oppresses women. In an original contribution they discuss women’s impact on the development of the welfare state both as feminist campaigners and as pioneers of new welfare professions. The book concludes by reviewing contemporary feminist strategies to transform the welfare state to meet women’s needs. Whilst the authors put forward their own evaluation of these different feminist approaches they aim to leave readers with plenty of scope to make up their own minds on the issues.

Feminists Read Habermas (RLE Feminist Theory)Gendering the Subject of Discourse This important new collection considers Jurgen Habermas's discourse theory from a variety of feminist vantage points. Habermas's theory represents one of the most persuasive current formulations of moral and political notions of subjectivity and normativity. Feminist scholars have been drawn to his work because it reflects a tradition of emancipatory political thinking rooted in the Enlightenment and engages with the normative aims of emancipatory social movements. The essays in Feminists Read Habermas analyze various aspects of Habermas's theory ranging from his moral theory to political issues of identity and participation. While the contributors hold widely different political and philosophical views they share a conviction of the potential significance of Habermas's work for feminist reflections on power norms and subjectivity.

Femme/ButchNew Considerations of the Way We Want to Go What are the meanings behind constructed lesbian identities? This unique collection brings together writing photography artwork and poetry about lesbian butch and femme gender. Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go distinguishes itself by celebrating a wide span of intellectual engagement from reflection to traditional academic work including both disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. In addition to more “serious” writing lesbian comediennes offer their irreverent takes on femme/butch in this book. Their perspectives are almost never found in academic publications but what Lea DeLaria Vickie Shaw Karen Williams and other edgy comics have to say about femme/butch sexuality deserves to be heard. You’ll also find that Femme/Butch is essential for the global perspective it brings to lesbian gender. With chapters focused on lesbians in Chinese cultures and on the emerging lesbian community in Bulgaria this book explores the role of femme/butch identification in cultures without recognizable lesbian institutions. Here are a few of the questions the contributors to Femme/Butch examine in this remarkable book: Can theory about femme/butch exist in the electric realm of sex and sexuality or does theory necessarily neutralize sexuality? What role does popular culture play in helping us to theorize about lesbian gender? What are the relationships between history and femme/butch lesbian gender? Does lesbian identity development come in individual stages or is it more of a free-flowing process? How does social class relate to how we think about femme/butch race ethnicity and butch-femme? Femme/Butch is an ideal guide to understanding: the similarities between stone-butch and transgender identities—using Leslie Feinberg’s Stone Butch Blues as a reference point the erotically resignified roles of Mommy Daddy girl and boy in butch-femme femme/butch issues of power trust love and loss the “female husbands” of the 18th century and their “wives” the meanings of cross-dressing for lesbians the variety of lesbian-queer genders—butch femme androgynous and “other” and much more!

Femmes Fatales In this work of feminist film criticism Mary Ann Doane examines questions of sexual difference and knowledge in cinematic theoretical and psychoanalytic discourses. "Femmes Fatales" examines Freud the female spectator the meaning of the close-up and the nature of stardom. Doane's analyses of such figures as Pabst's Lulu and Rita Hayworth's Gilda trace the thematics and mechanics of maskes masquerade and veiling with specific attention to the form and technology of the cinema. Working through and against the intellectual frameworks of post-structuralist and psychoanalytic theory Doane interrogates cinematic and theoretical claims to truth about women which rely on judgements about vision and its stability or instability. Reflecting the shift in conceptual priorities within feminist film theory over the last decade "Femmes Fatales" addresses debates over female spectatorhsip essentialism and anti-essentialism the tensions between psychoanalysis and history and the relations between racial and sexual difference. Doane's nuanced and original readings of the "femme fatale" in cinema illustrate confrontations between feminism film theory and psychoanalysis. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers in women's studies communications studies and film theory. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138144071

Femtosecond Laser ShapingFrom Laboratory to Industry Expensive delicate and difficult to operate femtosecond lasers have already won two Nobel Prizes and created multi-billion dollar industries. As these lasers break out of laboratories for use in real-world large-scale applications the number of people using them increases. This book provides a fresh perspective on femtosecond lasers discussing how they are soon to become a universal light source spanning any timescale and generating any wavelength of light. Starting from the basics of light itself this book presents in an everyday manner with clear illustrations and without formulas what makes this class of lasers so versatile and the future of many more applications. Many of the subjects covered in this book are described in plain words for the first time. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367877446

Femtosecond Laser-Matter InteractionTheory Experiments and Applications This is the first comprehensive treatment of the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with solids at nonrelativistic intensity. It connects phenomena from the subtle atomic motion on the nanoscale to the generation of extreme pressure and temperature in the interaction zone confined inside a solid. The femtosecond laser-matter interaction has already found numerous applications in industry medicine and materials science. However there is no consensus on the interpretation of related phenomena. With mathematics kept to a minimum this is a highly engaging and readable treatment for students and researchers in science and engineering. The book avoids complex mathematical formulae and hence the content is accessible to nontechnical readers. Useful summaries after each chapter provide compressed information for quick estimates of major parameters in planned or performed experiments. The book connects the basic physics of femtosecond laser-solid interactions to a broad range of applications. Throught the text basic assumptions are derived from the first principles and new results and ideas are presented. From such analyses a qualitative and predictive framework for the field emerges the impact of which on applications is also discussed.

Ferdinand de Saussure Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913) is widely recognized as the founder of twentieth-century language science. In his lifetime he published an important work on Indo-European philology but it was his Course in General Linguistics published posthumously in 1916 that paved the way for a genuinely scientific theory of language based on a system of mutually defining entities. In addition to laying the foundations for many of the significant developments in modern linguistics the implications of Saussure’s work have been far reaching across a broad range of disciplines beyond language studies; indeed his projected science of signs effected a fundamental reconceptualization of our knowledge about all socially organized meaning systems and it has had a profound impact on for example the evolution of modern sociology anthropology film studies and literary theory. As serious work on Saussure’s thinking and influence continues to flourish this long-awaited new title in Routledge’s Critical Assessments of Leading Linguists series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a vast scholarly literature. Edited by John E. Joseph author of the first full-length and comprehensive biography of Saussure this four-volume Major Work brings together the best and most influential English-language Saussurean secondary literature. (It also makes available in translation several key pieces originally published in languages other than English.) The collection includes: work on Saussure’s precursors; comprehensive coverage of his linguistic theory his key concepts and their critical reception especially in Europe and the USA; critiques of Saussure (including reassessments and refinements prompted by the unearthing in 1996 of a manuscript published as his Writings in General Linguistics); full coverage of Saussure’s ‘rediscovery’ in the 1960s and his significance in the rise of structuralism as well as his influence on the broader poststructuralist approaches to inquiry in the human sciences that followed. Ferdinand de Saussure is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415465465

Fertility Health and Reproductive PoliticsRe-imagining Rights in India Set in the context of the processes and practices of human reproduction and reproductive health in Northern India this book examines the institutional exercise of power by the state caste and kin groups. Drawing on ethnographic research over the past eighteen years among poor Hindu and Muslim communities in Rajasthan and among development and health actors in the state this book contributes to developing analytic perspectives on reproductive practice agency and the body-self as particular and novel sites of a vital power and politic. Rajasthan has been among the poorest states in the country with high levels of maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. The author closely examines how social and economic inequalities are produced and sustained in discursive and on the ground contexts of family-making how authoritative knowledge and power in the domain of childbirth is exercised across a landscape of development institutions how maternal health becomes a category of citizenship how health-seeking is socially and emotionally determined and political in nature how the health sector operates as a biopolitical system and how diverse moral claims over the fertile infertile and reproductive body-self are asserted contested and often realised. A compelling analysis this book offers both new empirical data and new theoretical insights. It draws together the practices experiences and discourse on fertility and reproduction (childbirth infertility loss) in Northern India into an overarching analytical framework on power and gender politics. It will be of interest to academics in the fields of medical anthropology medical sociology public health gender studies human rights and sociolegal studies and South Asian studies.

Festival and Event Management in Nordic Countries This book on events-related research marks a watershed in the development of a "Nordic School" of festival and event research. Each of the chapters presents a new and interesting approach to the study of events in terms of methods perspectives or content. It is mostly rooted in management theory but also incorporating other perspectives that enhance our understanding of the phenomena. Implications for real-world applications in tourism hospitality and community development are also at the fore. The scholarship is comprehensive not focused on only tourism or economic aspects. Management theory including stakeholder management social networks and institutionalization processes is being applied. Attention is being given to the multiple roles festivals and events play in society and to evaluation of their worth and impacts. Innovative methods are being developed to examine event experiences innovation processes and success factors. There is now a critical mass of scholars in the Nordic countries that share a strong interest in event studies and they are engaged in collaborative research making it an appealing and innovative region for other event students and researchers to visit. It can be expected that the Nordic school will take an increasingly important place in the development of event studies which is now truly global in terms of scholarship and university degree programs.

Festival CitiesCulture Planning and Urban Life Festivals have always been part of city life but their relationship with their host cities has continually changed. With the rise of industrialization they were largely considered peripheral to the course of urban affairs. Now they have become central to new ways of thinking about the challenges of economic and social change as well as repositioning cities within competitive global networks. In this timely and thought-provoking book John and Margaret Gold provide a reflective and evidence-based historical survey of the processes and actors involved charting the ways that regular festivals have now become embedded in urban life and city planning. Beginning with David Garrick’s rain-drenched Shakespearean Jubilee and ending with Sydney’s flamboyant Mardi Gras celebrations it encompasses the emergence and consolidation of city festivals. After a contextual historical survey that stretches from Antiquity to the late nineteenth century there are detailed case studies of pioneering European arts festivals in their urban context: Venice’s Biennale the Salzburg Festival the Cannes Film Festival and Edinburgh’s International Festival. Ensuing chapters deal with the worldwide proliferation of arts festivals after 1950 and with the ever-increasing diversifycation of carnival celebrations particularly through the actions of groups seeking to assert their identity. The conclusion draws together the book’s key themes and sketches the future prospects for festival cities. Lavishly illustrated and copiously researched this book is essential reading not just for urban geographers social historians and planners but also for anyone interested in contemporary festival and events tourism urban events strategy urban regeneration regeneration or simply building a fuller understanding of the relationship between culture planning and the city.

Festival Culture in the World of the Spanish Habsburgs In recent years there has been an increasing interest in Early Modern Festivals. These spectacles articulated the self-image of ruling elites and played out the tensions of the diverse social strata. Responding to the growing academic interest in festivals this volume focuses on the early modern Iberian world in particular the spectacles staged by and for the Spanish Habsburgs. The study of early modern Iberian festival culture in Europe and the wider world is surprisingly limited compared to the published works devoted to other kingdoms at the time. There is a clear need for scholarly publications to examine festivals as a vehicle for the presence of Spanish culture beyond territorial boundaries. The present books responds to this shortcoming. Festivals and ceremonials played a major role in the Spanish world; through them local identities as well as a common Spanish culture made their presence manifest within and beyond the peninsula through ephemeral displays music and print. Local communities often conflated their symbols of identity with religious images and representations of the Spanish monarchy. The festivals (fiestas in Spanish) materialized the presence of the Spanish diaspora in other European realms. Royal funerals and proclamations served to establish kingly presence in distant and not so distant lands. The socio-political religious and cultural nuances that were an intrinsic part of the territories of the empire were magnified and celebrated in the Spanish festivals in Europe Iberia and overseas viceroyalties. Following a foreword and an introduction the remaining 12 chapters are divided up into four sections. The first explores Habsburg Visual culture at court and its relationship with the creation of a language of triumph and the use of tapestries in festivals. The second part examines triumphal entries in Madrid Lisbon Cremona Milan Pavia and the New World; the third deals with the relationship between religion and the empire through the examination of royal funerals hagiography and calendric celebrations. The fourth part of the book explores cultural artistic and musical exchange in Naples and Rome. Taken together these essays contribute further to our growing appreciation of the importance of early-modern festival culture in general and their significance in the world of the Spanish Habsburgs in particular.

Festival EncountersTheoretical Perspectives on Festival Events Festivals and events are of enormous significance to many communities around the world. They can have historic religious cultural and traditional significance and they are also important parts of community building. This book focuses on these small-scale non-metropolitan events (i.e. rural regional and peri-urban) to explore the complex relationships between place community and identity and the ways in which festival events bring these into being. By drawing on the notion of ‘encounter’ this book examines how festivals and events can be seen primarily as spaces where different people meet. This notion of encounter helps us to understand how conviviality and social relations are developed and what this then means in terms of social cohesion and social justice. It also draws on current theoretical and methodological approaches that can tell us about the role of festivals in contemporary life and it includes the sensual approach the geographies of affect and emotion the notion of the right to the city and nonrepresentation theory. The book brings together these perspectives and examines their relevance in the community events context identifying and discussing theoretical frameworks drawn from (including but not limited to) human geography sociology anthropology leisure studies and urban planning as well as tourism and event studies. For these reasons Festival Encounters will be a valuable read for students and academics working on a wide range of disciplines. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138186026

Festivals and Plays in Late Medieval Britain Based in records and iconography this book surveys medieval festival playing in Britain more comprehensively than any other work to date. The study presents an inclusive view of the drama in the British Isles from Kilkenny to Great Yarmouth from Scotland to Cornwall. It offers detailed readings of individual plays-including the York Creed Play Pentecost and Corpus Christi plays and the little studied Bodley plays among others - as well as a summary of what is known of their production. Clifford Davidson here extends the usual chronological range to include work typically categorized as early modern enabling a juxtaposition of earlier plays with later plays to yield a better understanding of both. Complementing documentary evidence with iconographic detail and citation of music he pinpoints a number of common misconceptions about medieval drama. By organizing the study around the rituals of the liturgical seasons he clarifies the relationship between liturgical feast and dramatic celebration.

Festivals and the Cultural Public Sphere Festivals and the Cultural Public Sphere provides the first major social scientific study of these festivals in the wake of their explosion in popularity over the past decade. It explores the cultural significance of contemporary arts festivals from their location within the cultural public sphere examining them as sites for contestation and democratic debate and also identifying them as examples of a particular aesthetic cosmopolitanism. The book approaches contemporary festivals as relatively autonomous social texts that need interpretation and contextualisation. This perspective combined with a diversified set of theoretical approaches and research methods and guided by a common thematic rationale places the volume squarely within some of the most debated topics in current social sciences. Furthermore the multifaceted nature of festivals allows for unusual but useful connections to be made across several fields of social inquiry. This timely edited collection brings together contributions from key figures across the social sciences and proves to be valuable reading for undergraduate students postgraduates and professionals working within the areas of contemporary social theory cultural theory and visual culture.

Festive Funerals in Early Modern ItalyThe Art and Culture of Conspicuous Commemoration Celebrated at the heart of a notoriously unstable period the Vacant See papal funerals in early modern Rome easily fell prey to ceremonial chaos and disorder. Charged with maintaining decorum papal Masters of Ceremonies supervised all aspects of the funeral from the correct handling of the papal body to the construction of the funeral apparato: the temporary decorations used during the funeral masses in St Peter’s. The visual and liturgical centre of this apparato was the chapelle ardente or castrum doloris: a baldachin-like structure standing over the body of the deceased decorated with coats of arms precious textiles and hundreds of burning candles. Drawing from printed festival books and previously unpublished sources such as ceremonial diaries and diplomatic correspondence this book offers the first comprehensive overview of the development of early modern funeral apparati. What was their function in funeral liturgy and early modern festival culture at large? How did the papal funeral apparati compare to those of cardinals the Spanish and French monarchy and the Medici court in Florence? And most importantly how did contemporaries perceive and judge them? By the late sixteenth century new trends in conspicuous commemoration had rendered the traditional papal funeral apparati in St Peter’s obsolete. The author shows how papal families wishing to honor their uncles according to the new standards needed to invent ceremonial opportunities from scratch showing off dynastic resilience while modelling the deceased’s memoria after carefully constructed ideals of post-Tridentine sainthood.

Fetal DevelopmentA Psychobiological Perspective Based on the presentations given by well-known specialists at a recent multidisciplinary conference of developmental psychobiologists obstetricians and physiologists this book is the first exhaustive attempt to synthesize the present scientific knowledge on fetal behavior. Utilizing a psychobiological analytic approach it provides the reader with an overview of the perspectives hypotheses and experimental results from a group of basic scientists and clinicians who conduct research to elucidate the role of fetal behavior in development. Experimental and clinical as well as human and animal data are explored via comparative developmental analysis. The ontogeny of fetal spontaneous activity -- via the maturation of "behavioral states" -- and of fetal responsiveness to sensory stimulation is studied in detail. Results are provided from studies of embryonic/fetal and newborn behavior in chicks rats sheep primates and humans. Knowledge of fetal behavior is crucial to the obstetrician neonatologist developmental psychologist and even the future parents in order to follow and assess the gradual development of spontaneous responsive movements of the fetus. While assessing this important information this text also examines the neuro-behavioral events taking place during the fetal period as an aid to understanding normal and pathological life span development.

Fetishism Psychoanalysis and PhilosophyThe Iridescent Thing Fetishism Psychoanalysis and Philosophy explores how and why Freud’s late work on fetishism led to the beginnings of a re-formulation of the theory and practice of psychoanalysis. Freud himself however was unaware of the long history of the concept of fetishism a history crucial to understanding the concept. This book contains three main thrusts. One is historical tracing the development of the concept of fetishism from the 16th century onwards. The focus here is on two important thinkers: Charles de Brosses from the 18th century and Auguste Comte from the 19th. The second thrust is philosophical. Fetishism is always about the relation between the mind and things. Martin Heidegger Jaques Derrida and Maurice Merleau-Ponty have made essential contributions in this area contributions which have important scientific relevance. The third thrust integrate the historical philosophical and psychoanalytic investigations of fetishism. It also looks at Wallace Stevens’ poetic meditation on mind and thing which helps to illuminate everything that precedes. This comprehensive book features careful integration of the historical philosophical and psychoanalytic investigations of fetishism. It will contribute to opening new ways of thinking about the mind and how it is structured so that fetishism is possible. Fetishism Psychoanalysis and Philosophy will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as philosophy scholars. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138556416

Feud Violence and PracticeEssays in Medieval Studies in Honor of Stephen D. White This collection presents an innovative series of essays about the medieval culture of Feud and Violence. Featuring both prominent senior and younger scholars from the United States and Europe the contributions offer various methods and points of view in their analyses. All however are indebted in some way to the work of Stephen D. White on legal culture politics and violence. White's work has frequently emphasized the importance of careful closely focused readings of medieval sources as well as the need to take account of practice in relation to indigenous normative statements. His work has thus made historians of medieval political culture keenly aware of the ways in which various rhetorical strategies could be deployed in disputes in order to gain moral or material advantage. Beginning with an essay by the editors introducing the contributions and discussing their relationships to Stephen White's work to the themes of the volume to each other and to medieval and legal studies in general the remainder of the volume is divided into three thematic sections. The first section contains papers whose linking themes are violence and feud the second section explores medieval legal culture and feudalism; whilst the final section consists of essays that are models of the type of inquiry pioneered by White.

Feudal Society Marc Bloch said that his goal in writing Feudal Society was to go beyond the technical study a medievalist would typically write and ‘dismantle a social structure.’ In this outstanding and monumental work which has introduced generations of students and historians to the feudal period Bloch treats feudalism as living breathing force in Western Europe from the ninth to the thirteenth century. At its heart lies a magisterial account of relations of lord and vassal and the origins of the nature of the fief brought to life through compelling accounts of the nobility knighthood and chivalry family relations political and legal institutions and the church. For Bloch history was a process of constant movement and evolution and he describes throughout the slow process by which feudal societies turned into what would become nation states. A tour de force of historical writing Feudal Society is essential reading for anyone interested in both Western Europe’s past and present.

Feuding and WarfareSelected Works of Keith F. Otterbein Originally published in 1994 the late Keith F. Otterbein’s scholarship had followed an overall design since 1962 when he began conducting comparative studies of warfare using both ethnographic and cross-cultural methods. Through a conceptual framework derived from systems theory he made signal contributions to our understanding of the role of warfare in human social evolution. He formulated a Fraternal Interest Group theory utilizing it to explain not only feuding and warfare but also rape and capital punishment. Believing that armed combat is learned behaviour he posed questions about its learning process that had yet to be answered. He acted as a major synthesizer of the growing literature on warfare and led attempts among anthropologists to apply their knowledge of war and peace to current events. This volume will serve both as a useful introduction to the anthropology of war and as a needed compendium of Professor Otterbein’s ideas. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367609337

Fever Hospitals and Fever NursesA British Social History of Fever Nurses: A National Service This well researched book provides an interesting study of the development of fever hospitals and fever nursing mainly in nineteenth and twentieth century Britain. It provides new insights into the development of nursing roles and nurse education and looks at the lives of key figures at that time. The text examines how this once important branch of the nursing profession emerged in the nineteenth century only to be discarded in the second half of the following century. Drawing on the work of Goffman and Foucault the study shows how aided by medical advances fever nurses transformed their custodial duties into a therapeutic role and how training schemes were implemented to improve the recruitment and retention of nurses. As standards of living improved and patient’s chances of recovery increased many fever hospitals became redundant and fever nurses were no longer required. The wisdom of creating fever hospitals and then disbanding them is questioned in the light of changing disease patterns international travel and the threat posed by biological warfare.

Feynman Lectures On Gravitation The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures Feynman thought long and hard about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics yet he published very little. These lectures represent a useful record of his viewpoints and some of his insights into gravity and its application to cosmology superstars wormholes and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of fascinating digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues.Characteristically Feynman took an untraditional non-geometric approach to gravitation and general relativity based on the underlying quantum aspects of gravity. Hence these lectures contain a unique pedagogical account of the development of Einstein's general theory of relativity as the inevitable result of the demand for a self-consistent theory of a massless spin-2 field (the graviton) coupled to the energy-momentum tensor of matter. This approach also demonstrates the intimate and fundamental connection between gauge invariance and the principle of equivalence. Media > Books > Print Books CRC Press 9780367091941

Fiascos in Public Policy and Foreign Policy The collection brings together scholars from Public Policy and Foreign Policy to address the theme of policy fiascos. So far research on failure and fiascos in both Public Policy and Foreign Policy has existed independent of each other with very little communication between the two sub-disciplines. The contributions aim to bridge this divide and bring the two sides into a dialogue on some of the central issues in the study of fiascos including how to define identify and measure policy failure (and success); the social and political contestation about what counts as policy fiascos; the causes of policy fiascos and their consequences; the attribution of blame; as well as processes of learning from fiascos. A common theme of the collection is to explore different epistemological and methodological approaches to studying policy fiascos. This book will appeal to scholars and practitioners interested in policy failures and fiascos both within and among states and other international actors. It was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of European Public Policy. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367074784

For example baked clay reinforced with straw was used to build mud huts and mortars for masonry were reinforced with animal hair. The wide variety of fiber types available in the 20th century has led to the development of a specialization in modern concrete technology based upon creating composites incorporating one or more types of fiber into the matrix of cement paste mortar or concrete. This book summarizes and simplifies the results of a considerable body of research and practical experience with a wide range of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. This information will prove invaluable to engineers architects concrete contractors and others working in design construction or product manufacture who may be unfamiliar with this technology.

Fiction Film and Indian Popular CinemaSalman Rushdie’s Novels and the Cinematic Imagination This book analyses the novels of Salman Rushdie and their stylistic conventions in the context of Indian popular cinema and its role in the elaboration of the author’s arguments about post-independence postcolonial India. Focusing on different genres of Indian popular cinema such as the ‘Social’ ‘Mythological’ and ‘Historical’ Stadtler examines how Rushdie’s writing foregrounds the epic the mythic the tragic and the comic linking them in storylines narrated in cinematic parameters. The book shows that Indian popular cinema’s syncretism becomes an aesthetic marker in Rushdie’s fiction that allows him to elaborate on the multiplicity of Indian identity both on the subcontinent and abroad and illustrates how Rushdie uses Indian popular cinema in his narratives to express an aesthetics of hybridity and a particular conceptualization of culture with which ‘India’ has become identified in a global context. Also highlighted are Rushdie’s uses of cinema to inflect his reading of India as a pluralist nation and of the hybrid space occupied by the Indian diaspora across the world. The book connects Rushdie’s storylines with modes of cinematic representation to explore questions about the role place and space of the individual in relation to a fast-changing social economic and political space in India and the wider world.

Fiction Invention and Hyper-realityFrom popular culture to religion The twentieth century was a period of rapid change for religion. Secularisation resulted in a dramatic fall in church attendance in the West and the 1950s and 1960s saw the introduction of new religions including the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) the Church of Scientology and the Children of God. New religions were regarded with suspicion by society in general and Religious Studies scholars alike until the 1990s when the emergence of a second generation of 'new new' religions – based on popular cultural forms including films novels computer games and comic books – and highly individualistic spiritualities confirmed the utter transformation of the religio-spiritual landscape. Indeed Scientology and ISKCON appeared almost traditional and conservative when compared to the radically de-institutionalised eclectic parodic fun-loving and experimental fiction-based invented and hyper-real religions. In this book scholarly treatments of cutting-edge religious and spiritual trends are brought into conversation with contributions by representatives of Dudeism the Church of All Worlds the Temple of the Jedi Order and Tolkien spirituality groups. This book will simultaneously entertain shock challenge and delight scholars of religious studies as well as those with a wider interest in new religious movements.

Fiction and Social RealityLiterature and Narrative as Sociological Resources In spite of their differing rhetorics and cognitive strategies sociology and literature are often concerned with the same objects: social relationships action motivation social constraints and relationships for example. As such sociologists have always been fascinated with fictional literature. This book reinvigorates the debate surrounding the utility of fiction as a sociological resource examining the distinction between the two forms of writing and exploring the views of early sociologists on the suitability of subjecting literary sources to sociological analysis. Engaging with contemporary debates in this field the author explores the potential sociological use of literary fiction considering the role of literature as the exemplification of sociological concepts a non-technical confirmation of theoretical insights and a form of empirical material used to confirm a set of theoretically oriented assumptions. A fascinating exploration of the means by which the sociological eye can be sharpened by engagement with literary sources Fiction and Social Reality offers a set of methodological principles according to which literature can be examined sociologically. As such it will appeal to scholars of sociology and literary studies with interests in research methods and interdisciplinary approaches to scholarly research.

Fiction and the Frontiers of Knowledge in Europe 1500-1800 The uses of fiction in early modern Europe are far more varied than is often assumed by those who consider fiction to be synonymous with the novel. The contributors to this volume demonstrate the significant role that fiction plays in early modern European culture not only in a variety of its literary genres but also in its formation of philosophical ideas political theories and the law. The volume explores these uses of fiction in a series of interrelated case studies ranging from the Italian Renaissance to the French Revolution and examining the work of among others Montaigne Corneille Descartes Hobbes Locke and Diderot. It asks: Where does fiction live and thrive? Under what conditions and to what ends? It suggests that fiction is best understood not as a genre or a discipline but instead as a frontier: one that demarcates literary genres and disciplines of knowledge and which crucially allows for the circulation of ideas between them.

Fiction and the Languages of LawUnderstanding Contemporary Legal Discourse Contemporary legal reasoning has more in common with fictional discourse than we tend to realize. Through an examination of the U.S. Supreme Court’s written output during a recent landmark term this book exposes many of the parallels between these two special kinds of language use. Focusing on linguistic and rhetorical patterns in the dozens of reasoned opinions issued by the Court between October 2014 and June 2015 the book takes nonlawyer readers on a lively tour of contemporary American legal reasoning and acquaints legal readers with some surprising features of their own thinking and writing habits. It analyzes cases addressing a huge variety of issues ranging from the rights of drivers stopped by the police to the decision-making processes of the Environmental Protection Agency—as well as the term’s best-known case which recognized a constitutional right to marriage for same-sex as well as different-sex couples. Fiction and the Languages of Law reframes a number of long-running legal debates identifies other related paradoxes within legal discourse and traces them all to common sources: judges’ and lawyers’ habit of alternating unselfconsciously between two different attitudes toward the language they use and a set of professional biases that tends to prevent scrutiny of that habit.

Fiction as KnowledgeModern Post-romantic Novel Critics of fiction have long been aware that the romantic movement in Europe and America gave a powerful impulse to the art of fiction. The exact nature of that impulse has resisted analysis like so much associated with romanticism. In Fiction as Knowledge John McCormick reaches for precision proposing that much of the vitality of modern fiction derives from romantic conceptions of history which made available to fiction not merely historical subject matter but new perceptions of reality present and past that pervade the work of many of the greatest writers of the post-romantic period.Beginning with Herder and Hegel McCormick describes those qualities in historical thought that were revolutionary in the early nineteenth century and rich in meaning for the future. Most prominent of these was the emergence of the idea of individuality not only in society but also in history. The author demonstrates the vitality of the romantic impulse in the work of seven major novelists of the twentieth century. Marcel Proust's apprehensions of nature in his great novel are seen as Wordsworthian while as the novel unfolds history in the form of event and system of organization comes to dominate and to offer a paradigm of the workings of the post-romantic historical imagination. William Faulkner and Andr Malraux are shown to confront history directly although they do not write "historical" fiction. Herman Broch Robert Musil and Henri de Montherlant uncomfortable with traditional romantic attitudes still make fullest use of Romantic historical insight to extend the range of fiction as knowledge. Ernest Hemingway by contrast is seen as intuitive a pure product of his novelist's intelligence as opposed to his latter-day romantic anti-intellectualism.Fiction as Knowledge supplies critical insight into the form of the novel as well as into the seven novelists under discussion. Not least the book is a warning against contemporary anti-historical bias and an appeal to the cultivation of historical consciousness. John McCormick is Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Rutgers University and Honorary Fellow of English and Literature at the University of York. He is the author of George Santayana: A Biography Catastrophe and Imagination and The Middle Distance by Transaction. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138523524

Fiction as Research PracticeShort Stories Novellas and Novels The turn to fiction as a social research practice is a natural extension of what many researchers and writers have long been doing. Patricia Leavy a widely published qualitative researcher and a novelist explores the overlaps and intersections between these two ways of understanding and describing human experience. She demonstrates the validity of literary experimentation to the qualitative researcher and how to incorporate these practices into research projects. Five short stories and excerpts from novellas and novels show these methods in action. This book is an essential methodological introduction for those interested in studying or practicing arts-based research. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781611321548

Fiction by Nineteenth-Century Women WritersA New England Sampler In an era following the Civil War which saw change and transformation everywhere new magazines emerged to record and report the change. Responding to the call for material to fill their pages writers in regions such as New England the West and the South answered most often with short stories. In fact short fiction became the literature of choice for an emerging mass audience. And increasingly the voices of women writers found resonance in the pages of Harper's New Monthly Putnam's and Galaxy to name a few of the newly established magazines. In New England writers such as Sarah Orne Jewett Mary Wilkins Freeman Harriet Beecher Stowe Louisa May Alcott Harriet Prescott Spofford Sarah Johnson Prichard and Rose Terry Cooke found a voice within the pages of these magazines. Although read widely in the late nineteenth century increasingly these women writers-with a few exceptions-began to be marginalized early-on in the twentieth century. Besides expanding the canon this collection of selected short stories by these seven New England writers attempts to restore what has been for many of them in this century either a diminished or even a lost voice.

Fiction in the Age of Risk When Ulrich Beck theorised a ‘Risk Society’ (Risikogesellschaft) in 1986 the threat of global annihilation through nuclear war remained uppermost in the minds of his readership. Three decades on questions about whether the sensation of risk has mutated or evolved in the intervening period and whether fiction exhibits evidence of such a change remain just as urgent. While the immediate risk of the Cold War’s ‘mutually assured destruction’ through World War Three seems to have ebbed the paradox is that the social goal of safety and security seem to elude attainment. Global financial collapse Islamic terrorism human-authored climate change epidemic disease outbreaks refugee crises and the chronic erosion of the welfare state now preoccupy those in the developed world and provide the horizons for contemporary anxieties worldwide. The contributions to this volume explore these themes locating their significance and representation in a diverse range of contemporary literature film and comics from China Australia South Africa United Kingdom Pakistan and the United States. This book was originally published as a special issue of Textual Practice. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367587062

Fictional Clinical Narratives in Relational PsychoanalysisStories from Adolescence to the Consulting Room Fictional Clinical Narratives in Relational Psychoanalysis explores the therapeutic space between the patient and therapist in psychoanalysis and the transformative effect of the therapeutic relationship through a collection of twenty-two short stories beginning at a moment of trauma in adolescence. Christina Moutsou illustrates both contemporary clinical issues as well as the relational and intersubjective nature of the therapy relationship. First six teenagers narrate in the first person their experience of battling with sexual abuse eating disorder body image the first sexual awakening loss of a parent and the intricacies of teenage friendship. The stories then unravel years later as adults in the consulting rooms of Ellie and Jake two middle-aged therapists working in London. The reader is offered an intimate look at how the therapists work through their personal losses and past wounds while facing their patients’ conflicts and dilemmas including adoption bereavement pregnancy loss lack of intimacy in the couple relationship and a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. What distinguishes this collection of fictional clinical narratives is the focus on an internal point of view where the reader is invited to experience first-hand the tribulations of the psychoanalytic dialogue and the enduring marks that trauma and loss leave on each member of the therapeutic dyad. The focus here is on how narratives are constructed and deconstructed through the intersubjective dance between the therapist and the patient. Both are transformed in the process. The fictional nature of the stories also allows for the exploration of sensitive issues that are difficult or awkward to explore adequately using direct case studies from real-life examples.　 This fascinating and unusual work provides an innovative method of exploring everyday clinical dilemmas using an accessible easy to follow narrative path. It is written from a broadly relational perspective but will appeal to all　psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138315495

Fictional Discourse and the Law Drawing on insights from literary theory and analytical philosophy this book analyzes the intersection of law and literature from the distinct and unique perspective of fictional discourse.　 Pursuing an empirical approach and using examples that range from Victorian literature to the current judicial treatment of rap music the volume challenges the prevailing fact–fiction dichotomy in legal theory and practice by providing a better understanding of the peculiarities of legal fictionality while also contributing further material to fictional theory’s endeavor to find a transdisciplinary valid criterion for a definition of fictional discourse. Following the basic presumptions of the early law-as-literature movement past approaches have mainly focused on textuality and narrativity as the common denominators of law and literature and have largely ignored the topic of fictionality. This volume provides a much needed analysis of this gap. The book will be of interest to scholars of legal theory jurisprudence and legal writing along with literature scholars and students of literature and the humanities.

Fictional FeminismHow American Bestsellers Affect the Movement for Women's Equality This book focuses on the ways in which second-wave feminism has been represented in American popular culture and on the effects that these representations have had on feminism as a political movement. Kim Loudermilk provides close readings of four best-selling novels and their film adaptations. According to Loudermilk each of these novels contains explicitly feminist characters and themes yet each presents a curiously ambivalent picture of feminism; these texts at once take feminism seriously and subtly undercut its most central tenets. This book argues that these texts create a kind of "fictional feminism" that recuperates feminism's radical potential thereby lessening the threat it presents to the status quo.

Fictional International RelationsGender Pain and Truth This book proposes the idea of fictional International Relations (IR) and engages with feminist IR by contextualising the case of a woman spy in Korea in the Cold War. Fictional imagination and feminist IR encourage one to go beyond conventional or standard ways of thinking; it reshapes taken-for-granted interpretations and assumptions. This takes the view that a dominant narrative of events might be reconstructed as a different kind of story once events are placed within a wider temporal approach. The case of the woman Korean secret agent- who reportedly bombed a South Korean plane (Korean Airlines (KAL) Flight 858) under the instruction from the North Korean leadership to disrupt the Seoul Olympic Games- is chosen to serve as an effective example of fictional IR and feminist IR scholarship which can be investigated through the research puzzles concerning gender pain and truth. Fictional International Relations has three main objectives. First it investigates the way in which fiction-writing can become a method for dealing with data problems and contingency in IR. Second the book examines how gender pain and truth operate or interact in the case of the Korean spy and how this observation can strengthen feminist IR in terms of intersectionality. Finally the author goes on to explore why this case has been so difficult to study openly and thoroughly. The aim of the book is not to refute the official findings; the point is to unpack complex dynamics surrounding truth—more specifically how the official account has been executed as ‘the’ truth—based on a feminist-informed investigation. This book will be of interest to students of IR theory critical security studies Cold War studies gender studies and Asian studies. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780415718615

Fictions of Female Education in the Nineteenth Century Seeking to understand how literary texts both shaped and reflected the century's debates over adolescent female education this book examines fictional works and historical documents featuring descriptions of girls' formal educational experiences between the 1810s and the 1890s. Alves argues that the emergence of schoolgirl culture in nineteenth-century America presented significant challenges to subsequent constructions of normative femininity. The trope of the adolescent schoolgirl was a carrier of shifting cultural anxieties about how formal education would disrupt the customary maid-wife-mother cycle and turn young females off to prevailing gender roles. By tracing the figure of the schoolgirl at crossroads between educational and other institutions - in texts written by and about girls from a variety of racial ethnic and class backgrounds - this book transcends the limitations of "separate spheres" inquiry and enriches our understanding of how girls negotiated complex gender roles in the nineteenth century.

Fictions of IntegrationAmerican Children's Literature and the Legacies of Brown v. Board of Education This book examines how children’s and young adult literature addresses and interrogates the legacies of American school desegregation. Such literature narrates not only the famous battles to implement desegregation in the South in places like Little Rock Arkansas but also more insidious and less visible legacies such as re-segregation within schools through the mechanism of disability diagnosis. Novelizations of children’s experiences with school desegregation comment upon the politics of getting African-American children access to white schools; but more than this as school stories they also comment upon how structural racism operates in the classroom and mutates over the course of decades through the pedagogical practices depicted in literature for young readers. Lesley combines approaches from critical race theory disability studies and educational philosophy in order to investigate how the educational market simultaneously constrains how racism in schools can be presented to young readers and also provides channels for radical critiques of pedagogy and visions of alternative systems. The volume examines a range of titles from novels that directly engage the Brown v. Board of Education decision such as Sharon Draper’s Fire From the Rock and Dorothy Sterling’s Mary Jane to novels that engage less obvious legacies of desegregation such as Cynthia Voigt’s Dicey’s Song Sharon Flake’s Pinned Virginia Hamilton’s The Planet of Junior Brown and Louis Sachar’s Holes. This book will be of interest to scholars of American studies children’s literature and educational philosophy and history. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367346300

Fictions of the Black Atlantic in American Foundational Literature This book is a significant contribution to existing research on the themes of race and slavery in the founding literature of the United States. It extends the boundaries of existing research by locating race and slavery within a transnational and 'oceanic' framework. The author applies critical concepts developed within postcolonial theory to American texts written between the national emergence of the United States and the Civil War in order to uncover metaphors of the colonial and imperial 'unconscious' in America's foundational writing. The book analyses the writings of canonized authors such as Charles Brockden Brown James Fenimore Cooper Edgar Allan Poe and Herman Melville alongside those of lesser known writers like Olaudah Equiano Royall Tyler Frederick Douglass Martin Delany and Maxwell Philip and situates them within the colonial and 'postcolonial' context of the slave-based economic system of the Black Atlantic. While placing the transatlantic slave trade on the map of American Studies and viewing it in conjunction with American imperial ambitions in the Pacific Fictions of the Black Atlantic in American Foundational Literature also adds a historical dimension to present discussions about the 'ambivalence' of postcoloniality.

Fictive Narrative PhilosophyHow Fiction Can Act as Philosophy What is the philosophical voice within literature? Does literature have a voice of its own? Can this voice really be philosophical in its own right? In this book Michael Boylan argues that some literary works indeed can make their own unique claims in different areas of philosophy. He calls this method fictive narrative philosophy.The first part of the book presents an overview of traditional thinking about philosophy and literature across classical modern and contemporary periods. It does not seek to denigrate these methods of studying literature but rather to ask more of them. The second part then sets out a rigorous definition of what constitutes fictive narrative philosophy. This definition outlines detailed conceptions of the methods of presentation audience engagement logical mechanics and constructional devices of fictive narrative philosophy. The author brings this definition to bear on individual authors and works that can be considered prime examples of fictive narrative philosophy. Finally the book sets out why and when fictive narratives might be more favorable than traditional philosophical discourse and how the concept of fictive narrative philosophy can move teaching and scholarship forward in a positive direction.Fictive Narrative Philosophy presents an entirely new and unique approach in which literature can be a form of philosophy. It will appeal to scholars and upper-level students interested in philosophy and literature. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9780367732950

Fidel Castro and the Cuban RevolutionAge Position Character Destiny Personality and Ambition Perhaps the foremost social analyst and journalist on Cuban affairs Carlos Alberto Montaner has written a definitive study of the Cuban regime from the vantage point of the Cuban dictator. This is not simply a history of Cuban communism but rather a personal history of its leader Fidel Castro. Montaner's extraordinary knowledge of the country and its politics prevents the work from becoming a psychiatric examination from afar. Indeed what personal irrationalities exist are seen as built into the fabric of the regime itself and not simply as a personality aberration.Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution is not an apologia for past United States involvement in Cuban affairs. The author is severe in his judgments of such participation. Nor is he sparing in his sense of the betrayal of the original purposes of the Revolution of 1959 manifested in the character and policies of Fidel Castro. As the work progresses from a study of the victims to a study of the beneficiaries of the Cuban Revolution it leaves the reader with a deep sense of the tragedy of a revolution betrayed but not one that could have easily been avoided.Montaner is an ""exile"" like the great Alexander Herzen before him. His decision to live in Europe was made by choice not of necessity. He sees his role as critical analyst not as restoring the status quo ante. A most valuable aspect of this book is its intimate reevaluation of Fulgencio Batista. Whatever the reader's judgment of Montaner's work no one can read it and be dismissive of the effort. It is a work of intimacy even through written in exile--and hence must be viewed as an important effort to understand the character of the man and regime who have changed the course of Cuban history in our times.

Fiduciary Law and Responsible InvestingIn Nature’s trust This book is about fiduciary law’s influence on the financial economy’s environmental performance focusing on how the law affects responsible investing and considering possible legal reforms to shift financial markets closer towards sustainability. Fiduciary law governs how trustees fund managers or other custodians administer the investment portfolios owned by beneficiaries. Written for a diverse audience not just legal scholars the book examines in a multi-jurisdictional context an array of philosophical institutional and economic issues that have shaped the movement for responsible investing and its legal framework. Fiduciary law has acquired greater influence in the financial economy in tandem with the extraordinary recent growth of institutional funds such as pension plans and insurance company portfolios. While the fiduciary prejudice against responsible investing has somewhat waned in recent years owing mainly to reinterpretations of fiduciary and trust law significant barriers remain. This book advances the notion of ‘nature’s trust’ to metaphorically signal how fiduciary responsibility should accommodate society’s dependence on long-term environmental well-being. Financial institutions managing vast investment portfolios on behalf of millions of beneficiaries should manage those investments with regard to the broader social interest in sustaining ecological health. Even for their own financial self-interest investors over the long-term should benefit from maintaining nature’s capital. We should expect everyone to act in nature’s trust from individual funds to market regulators. The ancient public trust doctrine could be refashioned for stimulating this change and sovereign wealth funds should take the lead in pioneering best practices for environmentally responsible investing.

Field Experiments in Political Science and Public PolicyPractical Lessons in Design and Delivery Field experiments -- randomized controlled trials -- have become ever more popular in political science as well as in other disciplines such as economics social policy and development. Policy-makers have also increasingly used randomization to evaluate public policies designing trials of tax reminders welfare policies and international aid programs to name just a few of the interventions tested in this way. Field experiments have become successful because they assess causal claims in ways that other methods of evaluation find hard to emulate.Social scientists and evaluators have rediscovered how to design and analyze field experiments but they have paid much less attention to the challenges of organizing and managing them. Field experiments pose unique challenges and opportunities　for the researcher and evaluator which come from working in the field. The research experience can be challenging and at times hard to predict. This book aims to help researchers and evaluators plan and manage their field experiments so they can avoid common pitfalls. It is also intended to open up discussion about the context and backdrop to trials so that these practical aspects of field experiments are better understood.The book sets out ten steps researchers can use to plan their field experiments then nine threats to watch out for when they implement them.

Field Philosophy and Other Experiments This agenda-setting collection argues for the importance of fieldwork for philosophy and provides reflections on methods for such ‘field philosophy’ from the interdisciplinary vantage point of the environmental humanities. Field philosophy has emerged from multiple sources –  including approaches focused on public and participatory research –  and others focused on ethology multispecies studies and the environmental humanities more broadly. These approaches have yet to enter the mainstream of the discipline however and ‘field philosophy’ remains an open and uncharted terrain for philosophical pursuits. This book brings together leading and emerging philosophers who have engaged in critical and constructive forms of fieldwork for some over decades and who through these articles demonstrate new possibilities and new experiments for philosophical practices. This collection will be of interest to scholars working across the disciplines of continental philosophy environmental humanities science and technology studies animal studies cultural anthropology art and more.

Field Sampling for Environmental Science and Management Scientists and consultants need to estimate and map properties of the terrestrial environment. These include plant nutrients and parasites in soil gaseous emissions from soil pollutant metals and xenobiotics in waste and contaminated land salt in groundwater and species abundances above ground. The scale varies from small experimental plots to catchments and the land may be enclosed in fields or be open grassland forest or desert. Those who sample the variables to obtain the necessary data need guidance on the design and analysis of sampling methods for their conclusions and recommendations to be valid. This book provides that guidance backed by sound rationale and statistical theory. It concentrates on design-based sampling for estimates of mean values of environmental properties emphasizing replication and randomization. It starts with simple random sampling and then progresses to more efficient designs such as spatially stratified random sampling stratification by classes and cluster sampling. It includes a section on purposive sampling in classical soil survey which is relevant to other environmental properties such as vegetation. It also describes the effects of bulking on errors and the use of ancillary information and regression to improve estimates. The authors draw the important distinction between design-based sampling for estimating means and model-based methods (geostatistics) for local spatial prediction and mapping and focus on the latter. They describe designs suitable for computing variograms and prediction by kriging as well as a staged approach so that sampling is neither inadequate nor excessive and designs adapt as knowledge is accumulated. Including numerous worked case studies of sampling in agriculture ecology and environmental science the book will be of immediate practical value. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781849713689

Field Theory in Child and Adolescent PsychoanalysisUnderstanding and Reacting to Unexpected Developments Field Theory in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis looks at the intersection of two types of psychoanalysis that challenge the classic model; child analysis and field theory. Children impose a faster pace on the analysis and a much less stable structure than adults whilst psychoanalytic field theory looks at the patient-analyst relationship in a much wider context than is typical. By combining these two approaches this book advocates the use of a set of tools and techniques that allow the psychoanalyst to understand and react much faster than normal and to be better prepared for unexpected developments. This book shows the reader how to navigate smoothly and steadily through passages of tense analytical situations which might otherwise feel like being trapped in a maze with no obvious way out.　 Bion's writings allowed the improvement of new techniques or instruments for exploring the psychoanalytical process. Discussion about technique is a hugely important and necessary step for improving the evidence base of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This book also seeks to improve the research in therapeutic effectiveness and unexpected relations between body and mind emotions and dreams. By doing so Elena Molinari contributes to expanding the perspectives that child and adolescent psychoanalysts have had in exploring primitive functioning of the mind.　 With specific emphasis on working with difficult situations and patients Field Theory in Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis is a highly practical book that will appeal greatly to child psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as psychologists paediatricians and advanced students studying across these fields.

Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of EvilFrom Chinggis Khan to Carl Jung In Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil Robin L. Gordon presents an accessible account of an attempt to define and understand the nature of evil. Gordon takes on the role of guide to this confusing land tying together threads of Jungian theory philosophy etymology neuroscience and history as we are led on a personal journey of discovery. Gordon begins by analysing what a twelfth-century meeting between Chinggis Khan and Taoist priest Ch’ang-Ch’un can tell us about the presence of opposing traits and the nature of evil in human beings. We learn what depth psychology has said about evil and the shadow part of our psyches and examine examples of human behaviour throughout history to understand the etymological philosophical and historical understandings and definitions of evil. Gordon’s own relationship with her work and the feelings that arise when researching the psychological framework of Nazi doctors genocide in Rwanda Bosnia and Syria and the functionality of serial killers are interrogated. We then return to Chinggis Khan’s and Ch’ang-Ch’un’s relationship attempting to build a real and practical definition of "evil" and assessing their dialogues as a metaphor for Jung’s views of the transcendent function. Fieldnotes from a Depth Psychological Exploration of Evil will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian studies sociology criminology and philosophy. It will also be a key resource for Jungian analysts and psychotherapists interested in the study of evil and its impact on society and the psyche as well as anyone investigating and redefining their own meanings of evil past and present.

Fields Capitals HabitusAustralian Culture Inequalities and Social Divisions Fields Capitals Habitus provides an insightful analysis of the relations between culture and society in contemporary Australia. Presenting the findings of a detailed national survey of Australian cultural tastes and practices it demonstrates the pivotal significance of the role culture plays at the intersections of a range of social divisions and inequalities: between classes age cohorts ethnicities genders city and country and the relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The book looks first at how social divisions inform the ways in which Australians from different social backgrounds and positions engage with the genres institutions and particular works of culture and cultural figures across six cultural fields: the visual arts literature music heritage television and sport. It then examines how Australians’ cultural preferences across these fields interact within the Australian ‘space of lifestyles’. The close attention paid to class here includes an engagement with role of ‘middlebrow’ cultures in Australia and the role played by new forms of Indigenous cultural capital in the emergence of an Indigenous middle class. The rich survey data is complemented throughout by in-depth qualitative data provided by interviews with survey participants. These are discussed more closely in the final part of the book which explores the gendered political personal and community associations of cultural tastes across Australia’s Anglo-Celtic Italian Lebanese Chinese and Indian populations. The distinctive ethical issues associated with how Australians relate to Indigenous culture are also examined. In the light it throws on the formations of cultural capital in a multicultural settler colonial society Fields Capitals Habitus makes a landmark contribution to cultural capital research.

Fields Forest And FamilyWomen's Work And Power In Rural Laos After the Vietnam War socialist governments ascended to power in all the countries of the former Indochina. In Laos more than a decade of socialist reorganization was followed by economic liberalization in the late 1980s. Laotian women had traditionally sustained the household and local economy with their work in field forest and family but political and economic changes markedly affected the context of rural women's prevailing sources of power and subordination. Socialist policies for example curtailed women's commercial activities while recognizing women's work in agriculture and child care.In this richly detailed volume Carol Ireson draws on ten years of fieldwork and research to explore this metamorphosis among Laotian women. Throughout she poses questions such as: What has happened to women's traditional sources of control over their own and others' activities since the 1975 socialist revolution? Have their traditional sources of power or autonomy expanded or contracted as changing conditions have allowed other groups to appropriate women's traditional resources and roles? Have the dramatic changes had different effects on rural women of differing ethnic backgrounds and varying economic means?Focusing on women from three major ethnic groups?the lowland Lao the Khmu and the Hmong?Ireson examines the different ways they have responded to political and economic changes. She shows us that the Laotian experience reveals in microcosm the processes of change toward specialization and integration of women's work into national and global economies and explains how this shift deeply affects women's lives.

Fields of Change among the Iteso of Kenya Fields of Change is a study of the means by which the Iteso adapted to the imposition of colonial rule and the loss of political independence. It explores their pacification and incorporation into a colonial state and the effects that these processes have had on Iteso territorial and political systems. At the same time it examines the way in which the political system both affected and was affected by other aspects of the Iteso social system most notably in the fields of religion descent and domestic kinship.

Fields of ForceThe Development of a World View from Faraday to Einstein. This book describes the picture of reality given by Newton and the development of the later picture of reality given by field theory. In telling this story the author explains what problem each scientist faced and how the process of solving them led to new discoveries. By this method he gives unique insight into the understanding of Einstein’s special theory of relativity as he explains exactly what problems led to the invention of the theory and exactly where Einstein’s solution differed from his predecessors’. A similar analysis is given of the discoveries of Faraday Maxwell Hertz and Lorentz. The problem-oriented approach of the book originally published in 1974 enables the reader to share in the original creative process and in the excitement of the discoveries. It puts physics problems into new perspective and discusses the philosophical implications of the history - an illuminating account of a great episode in the history of thought.

Field-theoryA Study of its Application in the Social Sciences This is an important account of the development of the ‘field-theory’ approach in the social sciences. Harald Mey concentrates on the writers from the 1930s to the present day who have used this approach to the study of the individual and of society and gives a clear exposition of such ‘field-theory’ application in its many differing forms. In addition the author shows how a concept which was initially useful in the physical sciences came to be used first by psychologists and subsequently by sociologists and others in related disciplines in their search for answers to the problems presented by the study of society. Mey describes how the use of the ‘field-theory’ perspective has fared when applied to specific areas of social research – education personal relationships group behaviour. He also compares the ‘field-theory’ approach to the study of societies with the structural/functional approach and explains why he believes ‘field-theory’ has a number of advantages over the structural/functional approach especially when it comes to the dynamic problem of social change.

Fieldwork in the Global SouthEthical Challenges and Dilemmas Choosing to do fieldwork overseas particularly in the Global South is a challenge in itself. The researcher faces logistical complications health and safety issues cultural differences language barriers and much more. But permeating the entire fieldwork experience are a range of intermediating ethical issues. While many researchers seek to follow institutional and disciplinary guidelines on ethical research practice the reality is that each situation is unique and the individual researcher must negotiate their own path through a variety of ethical challenges and dilemmas. This book was created to share such experiences to serve not as a manual for ethical practice but rather as a place for reflection and mutual learning. Since ethical issues face the researcher at every turn and cannot be compartmentalized into one part of the research process this book puts them at the very center of the discussion and uses them as the lens with which to view different stages of fieldwork. The book covers four thematic areas: ethical challenges in the field; ethical dimensions of researcher identity; ethical issues relating to research methods; and ethical dilemmas of engagement with a variety of actors. This volume also provides fresh insights by drawing on the experiences of research students rather than those of established academics. The contributors describe research conducted for their master’s degrees and doctorates offering honest and self-critical reflections on how they negotiated ethical challenges and dilemmas.The chapters cover fieldwork carried out in countries across Africa Asia and Latin America on a broad sweep of development-related topics. This book should have wide appeal to undergraduates postgraduates and early-career researchers working under the broad umbrella of development studies. Although focused on fieldwork in the Global South the discussions and reflections are relevant to field research in many other countries and contexts.

Fieldwork in TourismMethods Issues and Reflections The inherent mobility of tourists and consequent relative ephemerality of contact between the visitor and the visited tourism phenomenon have specific characteristics that challenge the usual fieldwork practices of the social and physical sciences. Such conditions create specific concerns for the tourism researcher in terms of their positionality relationality accessibility ethics reflexivity and methodological appropriateness. Fieldwork in Tourism is the first book to focus on this extremely significant component of contemporary tourist research and provides hands on approaches to conducting tourism fieldwork in a range of settings exploring the methodological considerations and offering strategies to mitigate these. The book also discusses how fieldwork affects researchers personally and what happens to field relationships. Divided into five sections each with an introduction and a guide to further reading the chapters cover the context of fieldwork research relationships politics and power the position of the researcher in the field research methods and processes including virtual fieldwork and the relationships between being a tourist and doing fieldwork. The concluding chapter suggests that the link between tourism and fieldwork perhaps offers greater insights into understanding creative fieldwork than may be imagined. This book incorporates a rich and diverse set of fieldwork experiences insights and reflections on conducting fieldwork in different settings the problems that emerge the solutions that were developed and the realities of being ‘in the field’. Fieldwork in Tourism is an essential guide for Tourism higher level students academics and researchers embarking on research in this field. Media > Books > Print Books Routledge 9781138883574

Fieldwork of Empire 1840-1900Intercultural Dynamics in the Production of British Expeditionary Literature Fieldwork of Empire 1840-1900: Intercultural Dynamics in the Production of British Expeditionary Literature examines the impact of non-western cultural political and social forces and agencies on the production of British expeditionary literature; it is a project of recovery. The book argues that such non-western impact was considerable that it shaped the discursive and material dimensions of expeditionary literature and that the impact extends to diverse materials from the expeditionary archive at a scale and depth that critics have previously not acknowledged. The focus of the study falls on Victorian expeditionary literature related to Africa a continent of accelerating British imperial interest in the nineteenth century but the study’s findings have the potential to inform scholarship on European expeditionary imperial and colonial literature from a wide variety of periods and locations. The book’s analysis is illustrative not comprehensive. Each chapter targets intercultural encounters and expeditionary literature associated with a specific time period and African region or location. The book suggests that future scholarship –　especially in areas such as expeditionary history geography cartography travel writing studies and book history – needs to adopt much more of a localized non-western focus if it is to offer a full account of the production of expeditionary discourse and literature.

Fiesta de diez pesos: Music and Gay Identity in Special Period Cuba The ‘Special Period’ in Cuba was an extended era of economic depression starting in the early 1990s characterized by the collapse of revolutionary values and social norms and a way of life conducted by improvised solutions for survival including hustling and sex-work. During this time there developed a thriving though constantly harassed and destabilized clandestine gay scene (known as the ‘ambiente’). In the course of eight visits between 1995 and 2007 the last dozen years of Fidel Castro’s reign Moshe Morad became absorbed in Havana’s gay scene where he created a wide social network attended numerous secret gatherings-from clandestine parties to religious rituals-and observed patterns of behavior and communication. He discovered the role of music in this scene as a marker of identity a source of queer codifications and identifications a medium of interaction an outlet for emotion and a way to escape from a reality of scarcity oppression and despair. Morad identified and conducted his research in different types of ‘musical space ’ from illegal clandestine parties held in changing locations to ballet halls drag-show bars private living-rooms and kitchens and santería religious ceremonies. In this important study the first on the subject he argues that music plays a central role in providing the physical emotional and conceptual spaces which constitute this scene and in the formation of a new hybrid ‘gay identity’ in Special-Period Cuba.

FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association)The Men the Myths and the Money Founded in 1904 by representatives of the sporting organisations of six European nations then expanding into the Americas Asia and Africa FIFA has developed to become one of the most high profile and lucrative businesses in the global consumer and cultural industry.  Recent years however have been characterised by a series of crises leaving the organisation open to critique and exposure and creating a soap operatic narrative of increasing interest to the global media. In this critical new account of one of the world’s most important sporting institutions Professor Alan Tomlinson investigates the history of FIFA and the underlying political dynamics characterising its growth. The book explores the influence of the men who have led FIFA the emergence of the World Cup as FIFA’s exclusive product FIFA’s relationships with other federations and associations the crises that have shaped its recent history and the issues and challenges that are likely to shape its future. Particular focus is given to selected moments in the post- Havelange administration and the way in which FIFA its current president Joseph Blatter and some key close colleagues have responded to and survived successive scandals. The book provides a foundation for understanding the growth and development of what is widely accepted as the world’s most popular sport; sheds light on the shifting politics of nationalism in the post-colonial period; and reveals the opportunistic forms of personal aggrandizement shaping an increasingly media-influenced and globalizing world in which international sport was both a harbinger and an early reflection of these trends and forces. Fascinating and provocative this is essential reading for anybody with an interest in soccer sport and society sports governance or global organisations.

FIFA World Cup and BeyondSport Culture Media and Governance Soccer the most popular mass spectator sport in the world has long been a site which articulates the complexities and diversities of the everyday life of the nation.

Part II Comparisons focuses on comparison which the Spindlers view as essential to an anthropological approach. Part III Ethnography in Action is devoted to the explicit exposition of ethnographic methods (though actually every piece in the book is a demonstration of method). Part IV American Culture moves from a traditional representation of American Culture to a processual analysis of how the culture is transmitted in real situations and finally to an interpretation of right-wing actions that seem to constitute a reactive movement; the implications for education are pursued. Part V Cultural Therapy explains what cultural therapy is and how it may be applied to teachers and students. The volume concludes with Part VI Orientation Susan Parman's overview of the works of the Spindlers that spans their whole career. Media > Books > Print Books Psychology Press 9781138969735

Fifty Years of Causes of Delinquency Volume 25The Criminology of Travis Hirschi This volume marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Travis Hirschi’s seminal work Causes of Delinquency. The influence of Hirschi’s book and the theory of social control it described can scarcely be overstated. Social control theory has been empirically tested or commented on by hundreds of scholars and is generally regarded as one of the three dominant theories of crime. The current work highlights the impact that social control theory has had on criminological theory and research to date. Agnew’s contribution highlights the role that Hirschi’s tests of control versus strain theory had in contributing to the "near demise" of classic strain theories and to the subsequent development of general strain theory. Serrano-Maillo relates control to drift and Tedor and Hope compare the human nature assumptions of control theory to the current psychological literature. Other contributions return to Hirschi’s original Richmond Youth Survey (RYS) data and demonstrate the robustness of Hirschi’s major findings. Costello and Anderson find strong support for Hirschi’s predictions in an analysis of a diverse group of youths in Fayetteville Arkansas in 1999; Nofziger similarly finds support for Hirschi’s predictions with an analysis of the girls in the RYS and explores the criticisms of social control theory that were the result of Hirschi’s failure to analyze the data from the girls in the sample. Kempf-Leonard revisits her seminal 1993 survey of control theory and reviews the current empirical status of control theory. Other contributions explore new directions for both social control theory and self-control theory. The contribution by Cullen Lee and Butler holds that one element of the social bond commitment was under-theorized by Hirschi and the authors present a more in-depth development of the concept. Quist explores the possibility of expanding social control theory to explicitly incorporate exchange theory concepts; Ueda and Tsutomi apply control theory cross-culturally to a sample of Japanese students; and Felson uses control theory to organize criminological ideas. Vazsonyi and Javakhishvili’s contribution is an empirical analysis of the connections between social control in early childhood and self-control later in life; Chapple and McQuillan’s contribution suggests that the gender gap in delinquency is better explained by increased controls in girls than by gendered pathways to offending. Oleson traces the evolution of Hirschi’s control theory and suggests that given the relationships between fact and theory a biosocial model of control might be a promising line of inquiry. Fifty Years of Causes of Delinquency: The Criminology of Travis Hirschi describes the current state of control theory and suggests its future directions as well as demonstrates its enduring importance for criminological theory and research. The volume will be of interest to scholars working in the control theory tradition as well as those critical of the perspective and is suitable for use in graduate courses in criminological theory.

Fifty Years of ChangeShort History of World Politics Since 1945 The past half-century has seen many hopes raised and some dashed a succession of fears and false alarms and both triumphs and calamities that were almost entirely unexpected. This work offers a short but sweeping history of world politics since 1945: America's postwar pre-eminence and the hopes that attended the creation of the United Nations; the Cold War and the emergence of a volatile Third World; economic transformations and the twin threat of nuclear and ecological disaster; the crumbling of the Soviet system and the short-lived promise of a peaceful prosperous and democratic new world. The author describes these momentous changes concisely in an effort to show how we got here from there and what we might have learned along the way. Media > Books > E-books Routledge 9781315293578
