Taylor & Francis Ltd Crisis and Coloniality at Europes Margins
Book SynopsisCrisis and Coloniality at Europe's Margins: Creating Exotic Iceland provides a fresh look at the current politics of identity in Europe, using a crisis at the margins of Europe to shed light on the continued embeddedness of coloniality in everyday aspirations and identities. Examining Iceland's response to its collapse into bankruptcy in 2008, the author explores the way in which the country sought to brand itself as an exotic tourist destination. With attention to the nation's aspirations, rooted in the late 19th century, of belonging as part of Europe, rather than being classified with colonized countries, the book examines the engagement with ideas of otherness across and within Europe, as European discourses continue to be based on racialized ideas of civilized' people. With its focus on coloniality at a time of crisis, this volume contributes to our understanding of how racism endures in the present and the significance of nationalistic sentiments in a worldTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsList of FiguresIntroduction Part I: Before the Crash1.

Taylor & Francis Knowing from the Indigenous North
Focusing on the Sápmi region of Northern Europe as a point of departure, this book enriches and sharpens the concept of ''the North.'' It combines detailed empirical research on the Sámi people and their life-worlds with theoretical contributions from leading scholars. The authors consider the European North not only as a geographical site or an object of academic research, but as a particular way of knowing and being, with its own needs, practices, concepts, and imaginings. The North, as an epistemic position, offers its own conceptions of politics, human agency, history, and social relations, which this book studies and describes. The volume challenges us to consider social scientific knowledge, its significance, and the practices of producing it in a new way.

Taylor & Francis The Drama of Social Life A Dramaturgical Handbook
Book SynopsisWhatever else they may be doing, human beings are also and always expressing themselves whenever they are in the awareness of others. As such, the metaphor of life as theater - of people playing roles to audiences who review them and then coordinate further action - is an ancient idea that has been resurrected by social scientists as an organizing simile for the analysis and understanding of social life. The Drama of Social Life examines this dramaturgical approach to social life, bringing together the latest original work from leading contemporary dramaturgical thinkers across the social sciences. Thematically organized, it explores: the work of classical and contemporary thinkers who have contributed most to this theoretical framework the foundational concepts of the dramaturgical approach a rich array of substantive areas of empirical investigation to which dramaturgy continues to contribute directions for future dramaturgical thinking. An indispensable collection that updates and extends the dramaturgical framework, The Drama of Social Life will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social psychology, performance studies, cultural studies, communication, film studies, and anthropology - and all those interested in the work of Goffman and symbolic interactionist theory and practice.Trade Review’The Drama of Social Life is a joy to read and a treasure trove for social analysts! It offers a unique, engaging, and clear-sighted explication of dramaturgical theory, highlighting not only its origins and foundational concepts, but also its contemporary applications and future directions. The editor, Charles Edgley, masterfully compiles a collection of essays that reveal the power and value of the dramaturgical perspective, particularly by illuminating how people create and enact meanings, identities, and social worlds.’ Kent Sandstrom, North Dakota State University, USA 'This collection is both coherent and cohesive. Edgley has compiled a fine assortment of essays here. They are sufficiently diverse, but are necessarily bounded by a commitment to demonstrating and explicating the dramatic character of social life. And, as sociologists of the everyday, we appreciate that this is the only drama on which the curtains will never close.' Symbolic InteractionTable of ContentsThe Drama of Social Life
