Cambridge University Press City of Shadows
Book SynopsisAlongside debates over rising inequalities, the stubbornness of urban poverty, globally, has emerged as a major academic and policy concern. Urban poverty policy positions are typically framed by paradigms of basic services and welfare. In the backdrop of Bangalore''s evolution into India''s silicon valley, the book presents research spanning old, inner city slums, new migrant settlements in urban peripheries, slum development projects, and garment export and construction workers, highlighting that intergenerationally, the urban poor remain tied to traditional low paying occupations, or, get incorporated into new urban growth channels (export industries, low end services) under highly unfavourable terms and conditions. Using the concepts of the old and the new poor, to explore channels of inclusion and exclusion, the book underscores that the poor''s vulnerabilities are defined by different regimes of informality. Debates on the urban poor''s political agency are used to problematize iTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; List of Tables; 1. Introduction; 2. Welfare and work: State autonomy revisited; 3.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Qualitative Research as StepwiseDeductive
Book SynopsisThis book provides thorough guidance on various forms of data generation and analysis, presenting a model for the research process in which detailed data analysis and generalization through the development of concepts are central. Based on an inductive principle, which begins with raw data and moves towards concepts or theories through incremental deductive feedback loops, the stepwise-deductive induction' approach advanced by the author focuses on the analysis phase in research. Concentrating on creativity, structuring of analytical work, and collaborative development of generic knowledge, it seeks to enable researchers to extend their insight of a subject area without having personally to study all the data generated throughout a project. A constructive alternative to Grounded Theory, the approach advanced here is centred on qualitative research that aims at developing concepts, models, or theories on basis of a gradual paradigm to reduce complexity. As such, it will appeal to schTrade Review"This book offers a refreshing and reinvigorating take on qualitative research as a creative and adaptive exercise rather than a formulaic activity. Tjora’s approach challenges many of the entrenched practices and assumptions of contemporary qualitative research practice, and in line with his previous work, his approach is to challenge the status quo, as well as offer a realist, in-depth and usable approach to qualitative practice. This book is insightful, nuanced but pragmatic and practical, and will thus resonate across academic levels (students to academics) and a wide range of academic disciplines interested in best practice in qualitative enquiry."Alex Broom, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. "A highly insightful introduction to qualitative research that addresses the challenges of data generation and analysis and powerfully demonstrates the importance of curiosity, creativity and methodological flexibility in undertaking interpretative research."Christian Heath, King’s College London, UK."A corrective to the misunderstood nature of Grounded Theory, Tjora offers novel ideas on how to generate superior qualitative data. In addition, the book can be used as a primer for novice researchers to learn about observations, interviews, documents, and analysis/coding."Peter Adler, University of Denver (Emeritus), USA.Table of ContentsPreface1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Warning Signs
Book SynopsisWarning signs are all around us. In ancient Egypt, tombs were lavishly adorned with signs and symbols warning of the dire consequences that would befall any robbers and thieves. And yet these signs were often read as provocations and challenges. Why was this? And how could we more effectively communicate dangers from our world, such as toxic waste, to future civilizations?This book examines and evaluates the kinds of signs, symbols, narratives and other semiotic strategies humans have used across time to communicate the sense of danger. From paleolithic cave art and ancient monuments to the dangers of nuclear waste, carbon emissions and other pollution, Marcel Danesi explores how danger has been encoded in language, discourse, and symbolism. At the same time, the book puts forward a plan for a more effective ''semiotising'' of risk and peril, calling on linguists, semioticians and agencies to face up our collective responsibilities, and work together to more clearly communicTrade ReviewIn an elegant style and erudite manner, Danesi explores how the sense of danger has been built into human language, artistic works, and narratives, from the prehistory to the present. This book provides great insights on the cultural perception of current global crises, such as climate change and the rise of infectious diseases. * Marek Tamm, Professor of Cultural History, Tallinn University, Estonia *We live in dangerous times. People need to be warned. But how do you warn effectively? That is the essence of this book. From cave paintings to nuclear waste, from climate change to vaccines, from isolated pictorial signs that grab our attention to recurrent and abiding metaphorical frames that we use unnoticed. Enlightening, scholarly, entertaining. This is more than practical semiotics - this is semiotics for survival - the iconicity of warning signs, the representation of danger, the narratives, the myths, the interpretations and misinterpretations. Never has a book been more timely or more relevant to our everyday, interconnected world, with hidden dangers lurking around every corner. * Geoffrey Beattie, Professor of Psychology, Edge Hill University, UK *Prof. Danesi is a master of clarity in presenting a semiotic analysis of danger, as entangled with various cultural, historical, and psychological threads. This book is a model of what a semiotic analysis should look like, for both students and scholars. * Yair Neuman, Professor of Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel *Table of Contents1.

Beginning with words as the building blocks of language, Ballard investigates their internal structure before moving on to larger and larger units, from phrases to sentences and beyond. The sound system of English is also explored in detail, from individual segments to connected speech. Lastly, some broader perspectives are offered, looking at regional, global and historical variation in English.

In addition, complementing the current chapter on present-day variation, there is a new extensive and richly illustrated chapter on the development of English.

Book SynopsisThe English language is where words go to be tortured and mutilated into unrecognizable shadows of their former selves. It''s where Latin, Greek, and Germanic roots are shredded apart and stitched unceremoniously back together with misunderstood snippets of languages snatched from the wreckage of conquest and colonialism. It wreaks merciless havoc upon grammar and spelling. It turns clinical terms into insults and children''s tales into filthy euphemisms.With an emphasis on understanding where the foulest words in the English language came from-and the disgusting and hilarious histories behind them-this book demonstrates the true filth of our everyday words. But this book is more than just a list of vulgar words and salacious slang. It''s a thoughtful analysis of why we deem words as being inappropriate as well as revealing ''good words'' that have surprisingly naughty origins.Dirty-minded word nerds and lewd linguistics lovers will derive unadulterated pleasu
