  • Taylor & Francis Phenomenology of the Broken Body

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSome fundamental aspects of the lived body only become evident when it breaks down through illness, weakness or pain. From a phenomenological point of view, various breakdowns are worth analyzing for their own sake, and discussing them also opens up overlooked dimensions of our bodily constitution. This book brings together different approaches that shed light on the phenomenology of the lived bodyâits normality and abnormality, health and sickness, its activity as well as its passivity. The contributors integrate phenomenological insights with discussions about bodily brokenness in philosophy, theology, medical science and literary theory. Phenomenology of the Broken Body demonstrates how the broken body sheds fresh light on the nuances of embodied experience in ordinary life and ultimately questions phenomenologyâs preunderstanding of the body.Table of ContentsIntroductionEspen Dahl, Cassandra Falke, Thor Eirik EriksenSection I: Vulnerable Bodies1.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding the Politics of Pandemic

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book reviews the political significance of COVID-19 in the context of earlier pandemic encounters and scares to understand the ways in which it challenges the existing individual health, domestic order, international health governance actors, and, more fundamentally, the circulation-based modus operandi of the present world order. It argues that contagious diseases should be regarded as complex open-ended phenomena with various features and are not reducible merely to biology and epidemiology. They are, as such, fundamentally politosomatic, namely that they disrupt, agitate, and trigger large-scale processes because individual somatic-level anxieties stem from individuals' sensing immediate danger through the networks of their local and global connectedness. The author further argues that pandemics have somatic effects in political expressions that transform the epidemic into national security dramas which should not, for the sake of efficient health governance, be treatTrade Review"Mika Aaltola has made a highly important contribution to the understanding of how pandemics impact geopolitics. He shows how the COVID-19 pandemic has done so in ways similar to previous — and probably future — pandemics."Mark N. Katz, Professor, George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government, USA; Chairperson, Scientific Advisory Council, Finnish Institute of International Affairs."Thinking back to 2012 about the impact of major pandemics on global politics was a visionary act. Revisited in the light of COVID-19, this book vindicates all the research hypotheses put forward by the author ten years ago.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Alcohol Crime and Public Health

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAlcohol, Crime and Public Health explores the issue of drinking in the criminal justice system, providing an overview of the topic from both a criminal justice and a public health perspective. The majority of prisoners in the UK (70%) have an alcohol use disorder, and evidence tells us that risky drinking is high amongst those in contact with all areas of the criminal justice system. Uniquely, this book brings both a criminal justice and a public health perspective to the topic. The book opens by exploring the levels of crime attributed to alcohol, the policy context of alcohol and crime, and the prevalence of risky alcohol consumption in the criminal justice system. The following chapters examine risky drinking amongst men, women and young people in the criminal justice system. The final chapters look at the efficacy of psychosocial interventions for risky drinking in the criminal justice system, and look forward to how researchers and practitioners can work together to prTable of ContentsCHAPTER 1 - What do we mean by public health, criminal justice and alcohol use disorders?CHAPTER 2 - The policy context of alcohol and crimeCHAPTER 3 - Prevalence of risky alcohol consumption amongst adults in the criminal justice CHAPTER 4 - Risky drinking amongst men in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 5 - Risky drinking amongst women in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 6 - Risky drinking and brief interventions for young people in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 7 - The efficacy of psychosocial brief alcohol interventions for risky drinkers in the criminal justice systemCHAPTER 8 - The way forward: researchers and practitioners working in a co-productive way to produce research in the criminal justice system
