Book SynopsisIn todayâs innovation-driven global economy, there is much to be learned from the lived experience of disabled entrepreneurs in respect of support, be it by governments, charitable organisations, professional bodies or universities. Addressing the ongoing problem of inequality in access and opportunities unites all these entities. The issue this book addresses is how the innovation and entrepreneurship created by disabled people are variously supported in different national contexts. What influences the availability of resources in support of entrepreneurship and innovation by disabled people â and what works?Representative country case studies in this publication are India, Nigeria, Hungary, the United States and TÃrkiye. The book also draws on previous research in the UK. These countries illustrate the variations in how research into entrepreneurship undertaken by disabled people is focused on key national and regional issues. The contributions provide a summary and critique of existing legislative and policy approaches. These are detailed examples, but they are not unique and 14 different non-European countries have been identified where research on innovative entrepreneurs with disabilities has been undertaken. These include Brazil, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Nepal and South Africa.In this Policy Expo the authors consider how inequalities in participation, access and opportunity are addressed in different countries and regions. They consider the design and implementation of policies in support of disabled entrepreneurs in order to provide an impetus to include and improve larger entrepreneurship and innovation systems. The country chapters provide an analysis and critique of current national and policy provisions and also address overall socioeconomic benefits, beyond those of the individual. Examples are given of the experiences of disabled entrepreneurs to illustrate these points.

Book SynopsisReading Freudâs Beyond the Pleasure Principle presents a new reading of this foundational text, based on the hypothesis that the work was written in two phases.Herman Westerink explores the idea that Freud put the first version of 1919 aside because he found the conclusions he drew from his line of reasoning difficult if not impossible to accept. The book considers which clinical and theoretical problems Freud wanted to address in the first version of the text, what arguments he developed, and in what way these explorations and arguments resulted in implications he considered problematic. Returning to the text in 1920, Westerink asserts that Freud introduced theories of the life and death drives as a response and possible solution to the problems and implications of his 1919 inquiries.Reading Freudâs Beyond the Pleasure Principle will be a significant reference for academics and scholars of Freud, psychoanalytic studies, trauma, critical theory, philosophy and the history of science.

Book SynopsisBuilding Adaptive Organisations is a practical guide for thriving in an era characterised by volatility, complexity, and rapid technological change. It argues that the 300-year-old closed system, designed for stability and control, is not fit for purpose for the demands of Industry 4.0 and the changing workplace. The outdated pyramidal enterprise has bred disengaged workforces, out-of-touch leaders, and cultures that collapse under constant disruption.The book presents a compelling alternative that transforms organisations into self-organising, emergent ecosystems. Blending industrial-revolution history, organisational theory, original models, and case studies, it demonstrates how to ingrain adaptability into the heart of systems and culture. Building Adaptive Organisations argues that enduring adaptability will never come from top-down leadership, isolated agile initiatives, complicated nested circles, mindset shifts, or cultural makeovers. Instead, it requires reconfiguring the five system levers that drive adaptability: culture, design, technology, people, and process. In practice, this means building an adaptive culture system across the organisationâs architecture; designing modular structures with self-organising governance and flexible workflows; integrating digital transformation into the organisationâs core operations; enabling people strategies that support adaptive workforces; and implementing transformational change as a shared, emergent, enterprise-wide endeavour.Offering clear concepts, tools, and pathways, this book equips system leaders and organisational designers to build adaptive, responsive organisations capable of navigating the turbulence of Industry 4.0 and an increasingly unpredictable world.

Book SynopsisThrough a critical discussion of political ideologies, Political Ideologies and the Anthropocene Crisis seeks to extricate the values of contending traditions â freedom, equality, justice, community, tradition, welfare, family, happiness, sustainability, peace, regeneration of nature etc. â from assumptions of inevitable progress.The Anthropocene epoch is responsible for an impending crisis encompassing global warming, mass species extinctions, environmental degradation and, as a likely consequence, declining quality of life, social disruption and even societal collapse. Significantly responsible for liberal democracies' failure to act decisively in the face of these existential threats are the political ideologies that have dominated western modernity: liberalism/neoliberalism, Marxism, socialism/social democracy and, paradoxically, even conservatism. These ideologies must be freed from their faith in guaranteed progress and limitless economic expansion. At the same time, whilst green ideology clearly addresses ecological crisis, its broad agenda risks alienating adherents of rival ideologies. Contention between the diverse values associated with these ideologies is indispensable to any liberal democratic response to the crisis, provided it is grounded in a shared, scientifically informed commitment to the preservation and restoration of nature.Political Ideologies and the Anthropocene Crisis will be of great interest to students and scholars of Political Science and Environmental Studies, as well as activists, policy makers, and professionals interested in the Anthropocene/environmental crisis and its ideological context.

Book SynopsisArchitectural education and the profession are at a crossroads, grappling with the climate crisis, housing shortages, migration, and the omnipresent rise of AI. While AI excels at generating visuals, its true value for architects lies not in replicating existing strengths, but in solving practical, time-consuming problems. This frees architects to tackle larger societal challenges and leverage their core competencies for the public good.The Agentic Architect explores how current and future architects can harness AI to become indispensable. The book addresses the critical gap between AI's current (mis)use in academia and practice and how to pivot towards its full, effective adoption. Central to this pivot is the concept of agency. Agentic AI autonomously completes tasks; an agentic architect acts with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment, making informed decisions and contributing unique insights. Many architects, however, are experiencing a crisis of agency, feeling disempowered and immobilized. This book reveals how agency is lost â from school through professional life â and provides concrete solutions for rebuilding it for career growth, workforce relevance, and societal impact. Beyond technical skills, The Agentic Architect emphasizes educating the whole architect to prevent demoralization in the face of powerful AI. It focuses on identifying and cultivating agency, showing how to work agentically with AI throughout one's career. This isn't a doom-and-gloom narrative, but an optimistic, practical guide on who we need to be to thrive alongside AI.The Agentic Architect is a high-level, tool-agnostic resource for students, faculty, design professionals, and firm leaders.

Book SynopsisA Critical Companion to Bion is an introduction to the extraordinary contributions of W.R. Bion, providing a close detailed reading of his work, anchored in systematic critical expositions of the arguments in his four main theoretical studies (1962-1970).The complex reality of Bionâs texts and public talks is studied in depth, placing them in sharp contrast to the phenomena of Bionâs subsequent influence. Building on this analysis, the book goes on to explore the reasons for the striking gap between what Bion said and what professional psychoanalysis tends to imagine he meant. The author argues that the psychoanalytic profession has cultivated the charismatic authority of Bionâs posthumous âœpsychoanalytic personalityâ in the service of both clinical innovation and conservative psychoanalytic identifications. A careful reading of the Bion opus provides essential insight into the history of psychoanalytic thought and the chronic institutional problems still facing the psychoanalytic movement.With a careful, detailed analysis of Bionâs work and a clear vision of how it can be applied to theory and clinical work, this is key reading for all psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.

Book SynopsisAs a former colonized nation, Indonesia has a unique place in the history of photography. A History of Photography in Indonesia: From the Colonial Era to the Digital Age looks at the development of photography from the beginning and traces its uses in Indonesia from its invention to the present day. The Dutch colonial government first brought the medium to the East Indies in the 1840s and immediately recognized its potential in serving the colonial apparatus. As the country grew and changed, so too did the medium. Photography was not only an essential tool of colonialism, but it also became part of the movement for independence, a voice for reformasi, an agent for advocating democracy, and is now available to anyone with a phone. This book gathers essays by leading artists, scholars, and curators from around the world who have worked with photography in Indonesia and have traced the evolution of the medium from its inception to the present day, addressing the impact of photography on colonialism, independence, and democratization.

Book SynopsisArtificial intelligence is often framed as a quest to replicate the human brain, promising frictionless cognition and a future of seamless automation. But what if this pervasive narrative obscures a deeper, more âerrantâ truth?Errant Intelligence challenges the prevailing biological and individualistic interpretations of machine learning, arguing instead for a radical understanding of machine intelligence. The book embraces the deviations, inconsistencies, and âerrant behaviourâ as fundamental to the discovery of new knowledge, moving beyond the illusion of mere optimisation. Drawing on media theory, cybernetics, and a unique psychoanalytic lens, it explores the âtechnological unconsciousâ of machine learning. It traces the historical roots of AI, from early automatons and the Turing machine to natural language processing and contemporary machine learning systems. Challenging the idea of an autonomous, self-generating AI, the book exposes the hidden labour, assumed logics, and inherent biases that animate its operation. It re-evaluates computational thinking, insisting on its inherently social, collective, and symbolic character, and revealing how language and logical paradoxes are not obstacles, but constitutive forces that shape intelligent machines.Errant Intelligence offers a vital new framework for understanding the profound co-evolution of human and machine learning. Itâs time to âunlearnâ our assumptions and embrace the productive ambiguity and fallibility at the core of machine intelligence.

Book SynopsisIs it possible to talk about Dutch art after 1680 outside the prevailing critical framework of the age of decline? Although an increasing number of studies are being published on the art and society of this period, genre painting of this era continues to be dismissed as an uninspired repetition of the art of the second and third quarters of the seventeenth century, known as the Dutch Golden Age.,In this stunningly illustrated study, Aono reconsiders the long-dismissed genre painting from 1680-1750. Grounded in close analysis of a range of paintings and primary sources, this study illuminates the main features of genre painting, highlighting the ways in which these elements related to the painters' close connections to, on the one hand, collectors, and on the other, to classicism, one of the dominant artistic styles of that time., Three case studies, richly supplemented by a catalogue of 29 selected painters and their work, offer the first clear picture of the genre painting of the period while providing new insights into painters' activities, collectors' tastes and the contemporary art market.In this stunningly illustrated study, Junko Aono reconsiders the long-dismissed genre painting from 1680-1750.
