Taylor & Francis Ltd Panic Disorder The Great Pretender
Book SynopsisMultipolar governance permits a number of important states to have significantly more economic and political clout than others, but among them there is hardly any hierarchy. The new energy challenge, with its intricate socio-economic, ecological and international-political considerations, is a multi-dimensional, multi-level and multi-actor issue that requires a minimum of ''central'' political steering, because neither the invisible hand of the market, nor unilateral or bilateral power politics are capable to bring about sustainable solutions. Global Energy Governance in a Multipolar World investigates the relationship between the emergence of a multipolar world order and the enormous challenges of global energy governance that the world is facing in the 21st century. It reflects on fundamental questions such as how the main consuming countries can avoid conflict over scarce resources, how they will cooperate to bring about open energy markets, energy conservation and efficiency, and Trade Review'This important book addresses a crucial issue that has been ignored for far too long - how to establish and implement international rules that facilitate energy security on a sustainable basis for all. It combines a thorough analysis of the world’s key energy governance institutions, the interests of key countries, and the past and potential roles for concerts of major powers such as the G8 with thought-provoking recommendations that deserve serious consideration by policy-makers around the world.' Ann Florini, National University of Singapore, Singapore and The Brookings Institution, USA '... a truly path breaking book on a subject of vital importance that shows a deep understanding of the increasingly multi-polar and interdependent world in which we live. Energy issues cannot be compartmentalized from other global issues and the authors grasp the reality that the world needs a "political steering committee". They are right.' Gordon Smith, University of Victoria and former Deputy Foreign Minister of Canada '... Lesage, van de Graaf and Westphal provide a timely state-of-the-art assessment of energy issues and make a convincing case for undertaking further action in the form of better structured global energy governance. They advance a very important debate on how energy is to be governed and pave the way for much needed further research in this area. Their work will be of particular interest to international relations and political science scholars, and it is of absolute value to those seeking to understand how to deal with the pressing global energy issues of our time.' Review of European Community and Environmental Law 'The book successfully combines economic and historical analyses... [it] is very well written. It represents a valuable theoretical advancement in the literature on energy governance, and it is likely to open the way to further studies. It is therefore highly recommended for all scholars interested in energy geopolitics and internationalTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction; Part I Global Energy Governance Today; Chapter 2 The Global Energy Challenge; Chapter 3 Blueprint for a Global Sustainable Energy Regime; Chapter 4 The Institutional Landscape of Global Energy Governance; Part II Bringing in Multipolarity; Chapter 5 Major Power Concerts and Global Energy Governance; Chapter 6 The Players of the Multipolar Energy Game; Chapter 7 The G8’s Track Record in Global Energy Governance; Part III Conclusions; Chapter 8 G8 Leadership in Global Energy Governance; Chapter 9 Prospects for Energy Cooperation in a Multipolar World;

Rlpg/Galleys New York Abstains Courteously
Book SynopsisThe idea for this collection of essays emerged from conversations about how the art of civil discourse has become increasingly less visible in American society today, particularly in political activities. At the same time, it is frustrating to realize that more Americans vote for contestants on shows like American Idol than usually vote in the November elections. The themes throughout New York Abstains Courteously touch on the very heart of what it means to be a responsible citizen, both in our own country and in the global community. While so many individuals speak about values today, it ultimately seems that the true values undergirding the United States are being overshadowed by partisan politics and private ideologies. The book's contributors take a wide variety of approaches to civil discourse and civic responsibility. Each essay in this collection stands on its own and grows out of the author's unique discipline and experience. The essays, however, are the fruit of ongoing collaboration and intersect with each other in many intriguing ways.Table of ContentsForeword by Kenneth J.

Taylor & Francis Foundations of Futures Studies
Book SynopsisFutures studies is a new field of inquiry involving systematic and explicit thinking about alternative futures. It aims to demystify the future, make possibilities for the future more known to us, and increase human control over the future. This book summarizes and expands contributions of futurists to the envisioning power and well-being of humanity. Bell brings together futurist intellectual tools, describing and explaining not only the methods, but also the nature, concepts, theories, and exemplars of the field.Foundations of Futures Studies fulfills Bell's five main purposes for writing this two-volume effort: (1) to show that futures studies, like other fields from anthropology to zoology, exists as an identifiable sphere of intellectual activity; (2) to create a teaching instrument that can be used as a basic text for core courses in futures studies; (3) to futurize the thinking of specialists in other disciplines; (4) to contribute to the further development aTrade Review"Foundations of Futures Studies represents the finest thinking in the field, as both an original work and a synthesis of existing work.... Destined to become a classic." - Claire W. Gilbert, editor and publisher, Blazing Tattles; "Arguably the most definitive study ever done of the future studies field and a 'must read' for futurists who want a holistic grasp of it." - William C. Johnson, Futurics; "Bell has poured all his knowledge and experience into it, which is no mean matter, and has created a work that is profound, extensive and filled with elements for reflection." - Papers de Prospectiva (Spain); "A must read for almost everyone within the social sciences." - Choice; "This book is a milestone in the development of the futures field...an ambitious attempt to capture what we know about the study of the future - Bell's version of Francis Bacon's Novum Organum." - Peter C.

This will be an important resource to anyone interested in Max Weber's work for years to come."—Mustafa Emirbayer, University of Wisconsin, Madison"The Weber dictionary will be an indispensable source of reference for social scientists. It will contribute to a much better grasp of Weber's extensive writings."—Sam Whimster, editor of the Journal for Max Weber Studies"This is an expert work of scholarship on the most complex and difficult of the great classic sociologists. With this dictionary, Richard Swedberg and Ola Agevall clarify Weber's key concepts and their textual sources, and display his wide-ranging connections to past and present."—Randall Collins, University of Pennsylvania"Richard Swedberg and Ola Agevall manage ot shine a bright light into this thicket of concepts, theories, and interpretive debates. [The Max Weber Dictionary] pays close attention to the specificity of the linguistic, cultural, and historical contexts of Weber's writing and reception.The present book is therefore more akin to a commentary on Weber's writing and Weber scholarship than a "dictionary" in the narrow sense."—George Steinmetz, The Journal of Modern History

Beacon Press The Cancer Factory
Book Synopsis?No journalist knows more about toxic chemicals in the workplace than Jim Morris.The Cancer Factoryis the crowning achievement of his estimable career spent walking fence lines, factory floors, and doctor?s offices.??Dan Fagin, author of the Pulitzer Prize?winningToms River?The Cancer Factorycould not come at a better time, as we reckon with how our bodies pay the price for our nation?s toxic history and as today?s workers fight not for only their rights but for their very lives.… A powerful and essential read.??Anna Clark, author ofThe Poisoned CityThe story of a group of Goodyear Tire and Rubber workers fatally exposed to toxic chemicals, the lawyer who sought justice on their behalf, and the shameful lack of protection our society affords all workersWorking at the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company chemical plant in Niagara Falls, New York, was considered a good job. It was the kind of industrial manufacturing job that allowed blue-collar workers to thrive in the latter half of the 20th century?that allowed them to buy their own home, and maybe a small boat for the lake.But it was also the kind of job that exposed you to toxic chemicals and offered little to no protection from them, either in the way of protective gear or adequate ventilation. Eventually, it was a job that gave you bladder cancer.The Cancer Factory tells the story of the workers who experienced one of the nation?s worst, and best-documented, outbreaks of work-related cancer, and the lawyer who has represented the bladder-cancer victims at the plant for more than 30 years. Goodyear, and its chemical supplier, DuPont, knew that two of the chemicals used in the plant had been shown to cause cancer, but made little effort to protect the plant?s workers until the cluster of cancer cases?and deaths?was undeniable.In doing so it tells a broader story of corporate malfeasance and governmental neglect. Workers have only weak protections from exposure to toxic substances in America, and regulatory breaches contribute to an estimated 95,000 deaths from occupational illness each year. Based on 4 decades of reporting and delving deeply into the scientific literature about toxic substances and health risks, the arcana of worker regulations, and reality of loose enforcement, The Cancer Factory exposes the terrible health risks too many workers face.

Taylor & Francis Medical Anthropology in Ecological Perspective
Book SynopsisGlobal environmental change and recent worldwide infectious-disease outbreaks make the ecological perspective of medical anthropology more important a field of study than ever. In this premier teaching text, authors Ann McElroy and Patricia K. Townsend integrate biocultural, environmental, and evolutionary approaches to the study of human health, providing a complete and authoritative ecological perspective that is essential for interpreting medical anthropology. Research by biological anthropologists, archaeologists, and paleopathologists illuminates the history and prehistory of disease, along with coverage of contemporary health issues, both local and global. This sixth edition is thoroughly revised and updated, with expanded discussion on the interaction of environment and infectious disease; new material on climate change, globalization, and the effects of war on physical and mental health; and an entirely new chapter on ethics in community health and medical anthropology. Trade Review"I have used Medical Anthropology in Ecological Perspective on numerous occasions and it is close to my ideal for a textbook in anthropology. Its perspectives in ecology, evolution, and biocultural interpretation are in the forefront of the biomedical and social sciences. I should be proud to have written it myself." --Michael Little, Binghamton University, SUNY "McElroy and Townsend's textbook is a classic, and remains the best overall introduction to medical anthropology available. It is engagingly and clearly written, covering a broad range of topics from biocultural and evolutionary perspectives. I wouldn't consider using any other text to introduce students to this fascinating field of study." --Katherine A. Dettwyler, University of Delaware "The ecological perspective has proven its utility for understanding health and healing across cultures and through the major health transitions. The new edition of McElroy and Townsend retains the classic ecological approach while updating and expanding treatment of the major topics adding illustrative and contemporary case studies; it continues to be in the very first rank of medical anthropology texts." --Lawrence Schell, University at Albany, SUNYTable of ContentsAbout the Authors and Contributors Preface Chapter One: The Ecology Of Health And Disease Environment, Culture, and Health Profile: Arctic Adaptations by Ann McElroy A Working Model of Ecology and Health Recommended Readings Chapter Two: Research Methods In Health Problems Anthropological Approaches to the Use of Medicinal Plants Bio-Environmental Data Profile: Cannibal Mourners by Patricia K.

Cambridge University Press Respectable Muslims
Book SynopsisHow do Muslims deal with the ever-increasing pressure to assimilate into European societies? Respectable Muslims tells the story of pious citizens who struggle for fair treatment and dignity through good manners and social upliftment. Based on an ethnographic inquiry into France''s most prominent Muslim organization, the Union des organisations islamiques de France, the book shows how a non-confrontational approach underpins the fast-expanding Islamic revival movement in Europe. This method is mapped into Islamic notions of proper conduct, such as ihsan (excellence) or ?abr (patience). These practices of exemplariness also reflect the often-overlooked class divisions separating Muslim communities, with middle-class leaders seeking to curb the so-called ''conspicuous'' practices of lower-class worshippers. Chapters demonstrate that the insistence on good behavior comes with costs, both individually and collectively. Respectable Muslims expands on the concept of respectability politics to engage in a trans-Atlantic conversation on the role of class and morals in minority politics.

Book SynopsisDrawing on six years of ethnographic research, this book critically examines police culture, exploring police behaviours, decisionmaking and actions. Police culture is a concept widely used, often critically, to characterise the working attitudes and behaviours of (usually uniformed) police officers. It is shorthand for a workplace imbued with machismo, racism, sexism, a thirst for danger and excitement, cynicism and conservatism. Rather than looking for culture or identifying how culture affects behaviours, this book identifies factors that influence the decisions and actions, including technology, targets, training, timing, intelligence, geography and supervision, thus reassembling police culture much as Bruno Latour sought to reassemble the social. The analysis develops a clearer and critical understanding of culture by explicitly connecting the debates about police culture to those about organisational culture. Offering a detailed ethnography of two shifts, it grounds theTrade Review"Mike Rowe has done us all a favor by taking on the hazy and protean concept of culture to explain all that is wrong (and some that is right) with police behavior. This is a timely and whip smart ethnography of everyday policing as carried out by officers on the streets in three urban departments located in England. Resting on six years of close observation of the working patterns of officers, Rowe argues with telling evidence that policing is far from the intense, breathtaking activity as portrayed in the movies and TV but is comprised of tedious, rather repetitive tasks in which highly specific features such as the varied social contexts in which the work takes place, the wide range of individual and group preferences held by officers, the day-to-day supervisory practices in the field (or lack thereof), and the unevenly enforced policies of a department matter far more when accounting for police behavior than the popular but flawed and flattening notion of police culture. This is hard slogging scholarship of a lively and relevant sort that deserves the close attention of those interested in just how the police shape and are shaped by the work that they do."John Van Maanen, Professor Emeritus of Organization Studies, MIT "A timely, important, thought provoking and challenging book. Keenly observed and researched, conceptually rigorous and a real pleasure to read. Recommended for anyone interested in the crucial area of police culture, Science and Technology Studies in policing and the links between them – or, indeed, the realities and daily work of policing more broadly."

Taylor & Francis Ltd PostPhilosophical Sociology
Book SynopsisIn a hyper-individualistic age and in the face of the narrowly focused, policy-oriented research ubiquitous in the social sciences, this book revisits the humanistic world-view that is integral to Norbert Elias's pre-eminent figurational-process sociology, with the aim of increasing the fund of sociological knowledge that has the human condition as its horizon.Clarifying the contentious post-philosophical' aspects in order to supplement standard histories of sociology with new insights, it offers incisive evaluations of some of the bewildered attempts by prominent sociologists to diagnose the malaise of contemporary globalised society. It also challenges the orthodox limitation of the empirical scope of sociology to modernity'. With its ominous warnings of the destructive prevalence of overcritique' in the discipline and lack of in-depth sociological psychology, Post-Philosophical Sociology will appeal to scholars of sociology, psychoanalysis, social philosophy, cultTrade Review"Richard Kilminster is a man of semantic precision and clear thought. In this book, his thinking trades with the intersection of philosophy and sociology - a shift from ethics to global guidance through social science. He convincingly shows how sociology has taken over the historical task of humanistic, secular leadership. He develops this startling enquiry by building on the 'mighty thinkers' of the sociological tradition, masterfully demonstrating the breadth of his erudition and knowledge." - Adrian Jitschin, Norbert Elias Foundation, Amsterdam, The Netherlands."For decades, sociological theorists have been in thrall to philosophers, and the results have often seemed irrelevant to the concerns of empirical sociological researchers. Richard Kilminster is well versed in the various schools of philosophy and makes out a compelling case for how sociology as the queen of the social sciences can be truly emancipated from their hegemony. And in so doing, he shows how theory and empirical research can be reunited." - Stephen Mennell, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University College Dublin."Richard Kilminster is a man of semantic precision and clear thought.

Book SynopsisThis volume explores the emergence, evolution and definition of the middle class in India. As a class created as the interpreters between the colonial rulers and the millions whom they governed in the pre-Independence era, the Indian middle class has existed in congruence with the state, occupying vital positions in state administration. Since Independence, this middle class underwent major sociological change as they live independent of the state, which affected their social, economic and political position, reaping benefits of liberalisation and globalisation through education and employment.An otherwise internally differentiated and heterogeneous group, the new Indian middle class often unifies itself to shape socio-political discourse that affects politics and policymaking, from domestic to international affairs.

Taylor & Francis Sport Physical Activity and Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisThis book explores the various ways in which participation in sport and physical activity might contribute to effective solutions within criminal justice systems.Focusing on a range of different sporting and physical activities across an array of social contexts involving both adult and youth populations, the book offers insight into the way in which sport and physical activity is interpreted by participants and practitioners, and how these interpretations relate to broader policy objectives within and across justice systems. It focuses on a series of key issues, including how sport policy (national and international) has developed in recent years in this area; how and to what extent such policy developments have impacted organisations and interventions (both custodial and non-custodial) across sport and criminal justice systems and sectors; and how participant cohorts (such as disadvantaged and/or at-risk' young people) have experienced these changes.With shift

Taylor & Francis Ltd Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the criminal justice system. Rather than being the perpetrators of offending behaviour, individuals with ASD are more likely to be the victims of crime. However, there is nevertheless a small subset of individuals with ASD who do offend, and this book provides an in-depth understanding of how certain features of ASD may provide the context of vulnerability to engaging in a number of types of offending behaviours. Chapters focus on arson or fire-setting; cybercrime (e.g., hacking); online sexual offending such as the viewing of indecent child imagery; offline sexual offending; violent crime; stalking; terroristic behaviour (including radicalisation and extremism); bestiality or zoophilia; and also extreme violence such as mass shooting and serial homicide. This book also outlines the ways in which a defendant with ASD may present in court and how they may exhibit behaviour which could be misinterpreted and perceived negatiTrade Review"Dr Clare Allely is a world-leading expert in the field of violent crime and its relationship to ASD. Here, she takes on the difficult and complex task of explicating how ASD and the criminal justice system(s) interact. She provides a convincing body of evidence to support the notion that, in the future, a better understanding of ASD on the part of psychiatrists, psychologists, and, not least, legal practitioners, will lead to much better-informed decisions, particularly as regards criminal responsibility in ASD, within the justice system(s)." – Christopher Gillberg, MD, PhDProfessor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, senior consultantGillberg Neuropsychiatry Centre, SwedenUniversities of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Glasgow, ScotlandKochi Gillberg Centre, Japan"Allely’s work is cross-disciplinary, practical and based in contemporary international research experience. It provides a ground-breaking insight into the relationship between ASD and the criminal law. It has the potential to remove stigmatising misperceptions and provide a sound expert basis for better informed decision-making." – Professor Ian Freckelton AO QC"Allely expertly crafts an understanding of the persistent deficits that occur in ASD and the impact on those, often undiagnosed, caught up in criminal justice systems. She provides comprehensive understanding of how impairments may be exhibited or conversely masked by superficial social skills. She demolishes the suggestion that individuals with ASD lack empathy, nor are they any more likely to engage in offending behaviour compared to individuals without a diagnosis of ASD. In fact, they are more likely to be victims. Her stark warning is that the criminal justice system is frequently failing those with ASD and it is imperative that the judiciary and legal practitioners understand the existing research and use the available toolkits to reduce what is commonly a challenging and negative experience. Her call for further research to progress systemic changes to criminal responsibility ought to be heard by those at the highest level of law and policy reform." – Professor Felicity Gerry QC, international QC at Libertas Chambers, London and Crockett Chambers, Melbourne.Table of ContentsPrefaceChapter 1: What is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Architectural Conservation in Asia
Book SynopsisAt a time when organized heritage protection in Asia is developing at a rapid pace, Architectural Conservation in Asia provides the first comprehensive overview of architectural conservation practice from Afghanistan to the Philippines. The country-by-country analysis adopted by the book draws out local insights, experiences, best practice and solutions for effective cultural heritage management that will inform study and practice both in Asia and beyond.Whereas architectural conservation in much of the Western world has been extensively documented, this book brings together coverage of many regions where architectural conservation has been understudied. Following on from the highly influential companion volumes on global architectural conservation and architectural conservation in Europe and the Americas, with this book the authors extend their pioneering global examination to the dynamic and evolving field of architectural conservation in Asia.Trade Review‘Architectural Conservation in Asia is remarkable in that it is the first book of its kind that provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of architectural conservation not only across geographical and political boundaries, but also across traditional and contemporary built heritage in Asia. In this regard, it is an invaluable reference for students and enthusiasts of architectural conservation, and it provides the necessary foundation for deeper understanding of the topic.' - Ho-Yin Lee, Head of Division of Architectural Conservation Programmes, The University of Hong Kong'The built heritage of Asia is among the oldest, most widespread, and most diverse in the world. But it is also the most endangered. Wars, rapid urbanization, explosive population growth, antiquities thieves, climate change and other challenges are putting at great risk this heritage which belongs not just to Asia, but to humankind. This new book by Stubbs and Thomson is both timely and critical to generate an international demand for the protection of these irreplaceable assets.' - Donovan Rypkema, President, Heritage Strategies International 'This latest contribution on the histories and current challenges of built heritage conservation by John Stubbs, this time partnering with Robert Thomson, is an important contribution to correcting the overemphasis on Europe, which has shaped how we understand conservation and world history in the modern era. A highly ambitious book, Architectural Conservation in Asia provides a unique overview of how the conservation of built heritage has evolved across the region, tackling debates about the materialities of uncomfortable histories, or how ‘Asian approaches’ to conservation intersect with 19th century colonial practices. I am particularly heartened to see chapters on Central Asia, a long overlooked, yet historically significant, region. This is essential reading for anyone interested in both the global and Asian history of conservation.' - Tim Winter, Research Chair in Cultural Heritage, Deakin University, Melbourne'A remarkable achievement. A magnificent guided tour through Asia’s architectural conservation. Following the success of Time Honored: A Global View of Architectural Conservation and Architectural Conservation in Europe and the Americas, this book continues to offer readers an exceptionally wide and valuable perspective, as well as insights into the diverse practices of architectural conservation in Asia. It has achieved this challenging task with confidence and aptitude. This is a go-to book for anyone who wishes to have an overview of Asia’s architectural conservation history.’ - Yeo Kang Shua, Singapore University of Technology and Design'John Stubbs and Robert G. Thompson have done an excellent job summarizing the current state of architectural conservation practice in Asia. Spanning the whole of the Asian landmass and covering twenty-three countries, Architectural Conservation in Asia addresses both past and present practice; the principal issues and concerns; and the current governmental apparatus throughout the region. The authors also include shorter essays, many commissioned by leading figures in the field of conservation, to provide insights on specific details of contemporary practice...The book is extensively illustrated and well supplied with maps providing even uninformed readers with a strong understanding of the range of sites and conservation practices throughout Asia. The third volume in Stubbs’s comprehensive story of conservation practice throughout the world, this last offering is essential reading for anyone interested in heritage and conservation and especially those involved in practice in Asia.' - William Chapman, Professor and Interim Dean, School of Architecture, University of Hawaii at Manoa, New York, USA‘[This book] is the first comprehensive overview of architectural conservation practice in Asia.…[I]t covers Asia country by country from Afghanistan to Japan, illustrating the rich diversity of the continent in terms both of the heritage and the approaches taken to protecting it.…Stubbs and Thomson see the heritage profession evolving from its earlier focus on the questions "how to conserve?" and "what to conserve?" to take in the more complex issues of "for whom?" and "why?".’ - William Logan, Professor Emeritus, Deakin University Table of ContentsForeword A.G.

Book SynopsisEmbodied Social Justice introduces an embodied approach to working with oppression. Grounded in current research, the book integrates key findings from education, psychology, sociology, and somatic studies while addressing critical gaps in how these fields have addressed pervasive patterns of social injustice. At the heart of the book, a series of embodied narratives bring to life everyday experiences of oppression through evocative descriptions of how power implicitly shapes body image, interpersonal space, eye contact, gestures, and the use of touch. This second edition includes two new body stories from research participants living and working in the global South. Supplemental guidelines for practice, updated references, and new community resources have also been added. Designed for social workers, counselors, educators, and other human service professionals working with members of disenfranchised and marginalized communities, Embodied SociTrade Review"Johnson’s scholarship on embodied social justice has been leading the field for over a decade. Their cycle of embodied critical learning has become the cornerstone for social justice education in somatic psychology. The revised edition updates their integrative approach to social justice through compelling personal disclosure combined with case examples and practice models to help practitioners everywhere. This second edition is so very timely and is an essential read for somatic practitioners and mental health professionals alike." Chris Walling, Former President, United States Association of Body Psychotherapy"Ground-breaking and indispensable for critical and feminist theory, this book provides important new ways of thinking about how bodies are shaped, influenced, and colonized within unequal societies. In a time of growing social inequality, the author offers real insights into how we might resist the social, political, and cultural changes that are lived through our bodies." Sherry Shapiro, Professor Emerita of Dance Education, Meredith College, USA "Oppression spares no body. The injustices we craft our lives within are both systemic and intimate, taking root in the flesh. Rather than pit the political against the body, Embodied Social Justice reveals their interpenetration, opening up mindful awareness of the life of the political within our very tissues and movements." Mary Watkins, Professor Emerita of Community, Liberation, Indigenous and Ecopsychologies, Pacifica Graduate Institute, USA"A much needed, well-written, and profoundly useful book that will help change the course of somatics and social justice work.

Book SynopsisThis volume presents new essays on the theory and practice of recognition. In order to retain its overall plausibility as a critical social theory, contemporary recognition theory needs to be able to successfully combine theory with real-life perspectives, in both contemporary and historical contexts.Contemporary recognition theory has developed into an established and active multidisciplinary research programme. The chapters in this volume have two main purposes. First, they engage in theoretical development of the contemporary theories of recognition. They explore the conceptual histories and the environments of recognition, as well as the connection between recognition and authenticity, emancipation, and social ontology. Second, they connect the theoretical insights of contemporary recognition with analyses of contemporary and historical social practices. These contributions explore themes such as populism and polarization, models of harmful invisibilization and social ign

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Mindful Interview Method
Book SynopsisThe Mindful Interview Method: Retrieving Cognitive Evidence provides investigators with a proven methodology to gather authentic, reliable information from eyewitnesses to help identify potential suspects. The book offers police, and non-law enforcement readers, step-by-step techniques to improve gathering reliable evidence through a mindful interview process. The author also provides an assessment component that can measure the reliability of previous interviews performed, and further help to improve the interview process, the skills of the investigator, and thus the reliability of cognitive evidence gathered from future interviews. It is notable that there is minimal to no instruction or training currently offered to those individuals most-often tasked with interviewing an eyewitness about a crime as part of criminal investigations. Despite the lack of training and certification, we allow interviewers to conduct questioning in the face of well-established research as to the malleability of human memory. The assumption is that officials, trained in the rules of evidence, will innately ask the right questionsâand in the proper mannerâwithout the proper understanding of the fragility of human memory or the proper training. That assumption is false, and the reality is quite the opposite. In fact, we learn of cases commonplace in the media, that frequently involve questionable interview tactics, misidentifications, and wrongful convictions of innocent people. The Mindful Interview Method uses cognitive research to inform the methods and principles for a mindful approach to gathering only the information the subject remembers. This is the best way to use evidence-based lines of questioning, to perform interviews that elicit the most reliable accounts and information for investigative purposes. Considering current reforms on best practices throughout the criminal justice system, the book provides a path forward for professional interviewers to adopt interview methodologies that guide the practitioner to question anyone in a mindful manner.Table of ContentsPart I: Perspectives 1.

Centering the voices of actor trainers of color to acknowledge their personal experience and professional pedagogy as theory, this volume illuminates actionable ideas for text work, casting, voice, consent practices, and movement while offering decolonial approaches to current Eurocentric methods. These offerings invite the reader to create spaces where students can bring more of themselves, their communities, and their stories into their training and as fodder for performance making that will lead to a more just world.This book is for people in high/secondary schools, higher education, and private training studios who wish to teachTable of ContentsList of figuresList of contributorsAcknowledgementsForeword: navigating liberation: a conversation between friendsNicole Brewer and Walton WilsonIntroduction: why this book now?Amy Mihyang GintherPART IDistilling/grounding/performing identities1 Black queer autoethnographies: tools for equitable teaching and learning in predominantly white institutionsGregory King2 Societal othering of Asian Americans and its perpetuation through castingJoy Lanceta Coronel3 Embodying racial consciousness: white allyship as given circumstance and objective for the casting and coaching of sceneworkRachel E.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Complexity of Populism
Book SynopsisThis book explores the mechanisms and elements of populism to develop new theoretical and methodological approaches. Much as populism has been researched, it remains a contested notion without coherent definition and methodology and shaped by dimensions such as ideology, communication style, discourse, mobilization, and organization. It has simultaneously mobilized emotions, produced symbols, affected subjectivity and gender relations, and can manifest itself in different ways and appear in hybrid forms, such as in the cases of Silvio Berlusconi, Hugo Chávez, and Donald Trump. International expert contributors explore how such a variety of phenomena can be explained and analyzed, expanding the scope of populism research by proposing a multidimensional and complex understanding of populism. They argue for a greater epistemological differentiation and propose a methodology that integrates different fields of politics. This complex approach makes it possible to analyze populism as a muTrade Review"Populism's diverse political expressions have long been a source of scholarly debate and confusion. In The Complexity of Populism: New Approaches and Methods, leading scholars provide new analytical tools to explain this diversity by conceptualizing populism's multiple dimensions and exploring different methods for the empirical study of both historical and contemporary populisms. The interdisciplinary focus on populism's ideological, communicational, and organizational dimensions offers a framework for comparative analysis that is sure to be very well-received by other scholars looking for coherence amidst populist complexity."- Kenneth M. Roberts, Professor of Government, Cornell University'Populism is too often portrayed as a simplistic form of politics. However, this clever and vital volume pushes back against this erroneous assumption by taking the complexity of populism seriously. Recognizing the variation of populist phenomena across the globe, the volume acknowledges the multidimensional nature of populism, suggests new and important methodological avenues for its study, and crucially, embraces interdisciplinarity in examining how populism works. It is vital reading for anyone working on or thinking about populism, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective, and will open up new avenues for studying the most controversial political phenomena of the 21st century.'-Benjamin Moffitt, Australian Catholic University'Complexity of Populism is an important contribution for those who want to study populism without taking shortcuts. It recognizes that populism cannot be rendered in a clear and distinct idea and reflects the interpretations of democracy. It shows us that to know populism we must become comparativists and interdisciplinarians, have the patience and humility to get out of comfortable generalizations and go to concrete experiences.'-Nadia Urbinati, Columbia UniversityTable of ContentsThe Complexity of Populism: New Approaches and Methods.
