Taylor & Francis Ltd Reintroducing Harriet Martineau
This book explores the innovative, sociological approach adopted by Harriet Martineau in her efforts to develop a scientific' approach to understanding social and societal change. With attention to her focus on the key social structures and societal issues of her day the economy, education, the condition of women and the evils of slavery the authors highlight her creation and application of what we now recognise as sociological methodology, fieldwork and analysis. Through an examination in each chapter of the writings that best illustrate Martineau's sociological perspective, Reintroducing Harriet Martineau discusses her enduring contribution to sociology. As such, it will appeal to scholars and students of sociology with interests in the history of the discipline and questions of methodology.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Against Critical Thinking in Health Social Care
Book SynopsisThis book stages a provocative dialogue between social work, health and social care and contemporary philosophy in order to inform theory and practice in a complex and challenging world. Today, the social world is marked by deep-rooted complexities, tensions and challenges. Health workers and social workers are constantly reminded to employ critical thinking to navigate this world through their practice. But given how many of these challenges pose significant problems for the theories that these subjects have traditionally drawn upon, should we now be critical of critical thinking its assumptions, its basis and its aspirations itself? Arguing that health and social work theory must reconsider its deep-rooted assumptions about criticality in order to navigate complex neoliberalism, post-truth and the relationship between language and late capitalism, it examines how the fusion of theory and practice can re-imagine critical thinking for health, social care and social work. ItTable of ContentsIntroduction: against critical thinking? 1.Critical atmospheres: where are we now with facts, critique and care? 2.The rhetoric of urgency: tensions between critique and practice. 3.Autonomy, critique, and consensus. 4.Placing the review under review: reconciling critique with assemblage in safeguarding reviews. 5.The power of critique: looking back and forwards with Foucault. 6.The vulnerability of critique.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Judging and Emotion
Book SynopsisJudging and Emotion investigates how judicial officers understand, experience, display, manage and deploy emotions in their everyday work, in light of their fundamental commitment to impartiality.Judging and Emotion challenges the conventional assumption that emotion is inherently unpredictable, stressful or a personal quality inconsistent with impartiality. Extensive empirical research with Australian judicial officers demonstrates the ways emotion, emotional capacities and emotion work are integral to judicial practice. Judging and Emotion articulates a broader conception of emotion, as a social practice emerging from interaction, and demonstrates how judicial officers undertake emotion work and use emotion as a resource to achieve impartiality. A key insight is that institutional requirements, including conceptions of impartiality as dispassion, do not completely determine the emotion dimensions of judicial work. Through their everyday work, judicial offiTrade Review"Judging and Emotion is a milestone in research that examines emotion in the practices of the judiciary … It is a fitting testament to the pioneering research into the judiciary that Roach Anleu and Mack have undertaken over many years. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the interconnection between law, justice, the judiciary and emotions. It is an invaluable study of the skills and knowledge a good judge needs to have and to put to work in the courtroom." Leslie J. Moran, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK; from a review in Emotions and Society, 2022"… Roach Anleu and Mack show how impartiality, as a process rather than a state, involves continuous emotion work to balance emotions…" Stina Bergman Blix, Uppsala University, Sweden; from a review in Journal of Law and Society (2021, vol. 48)"Judging and Emotion: A Socio-Legal Analysis is not only a stunning empirical exploration of the everyday emotional landscape of the judiciary in the lower courts in Australia, but it is also a masterclass in doing empirical Socio-Legal research." Leslie J. Moran, School of Law, Birkbeck College University of London in Frontiers of Socio-Legal Studies."Drawing on research with Australian judicial officers, Roach Anleu and Mack investigate how judicial officers understand, experience, display, manage, and deploy emotions in their everyday work, and they challenge the conventional assumption that emotion is inherently unpredictable, stressful, or inconsistent with impartiality. They articulate a broader conception of emotion as a social practice emerging from interaction and argue that judicial officers undertake emotion work and use emotion as a resource to achieve impartiality."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Matters of Revolution
Symbols matter, and especially those present in public spaces, but how do they exert influence and maintain a hold over us? Why do such materialities count even in the intensely digitalized culture? This book considers the importance of urban symbols to political revolutions, examining manifold reasons for which social movements necessitate the affirmation or destruction of various material icons and public monuments. What explains variability of life cycles of certain classes of symbols? Why do some of them seem more potent than others? Why do people exhibit nostalgic attachments to some symbols of the controversial past and vehemently oppose others? What nourishes and threatens the social life of icons? Through comparative analyses of major iconic processes following the epochal revolution of 1989 in Berlin and Warsaw, the book argues that revolutionary action needs objects and sites which concretize the transformative redrawing of the symbolic boundaries between the sacred and pr
