Oxford University Press Practice Theory, Work, and Organization: An Introduction
What are practice theories? Where do they come from? What do they say? Do they offer something new to the study of work and organization? Practice theories are a set of conceptual tools and methodologies for investigating, analysing, and representing everyday practice. They develop the idea that phenomena such as knowledge, meaning, science, power, organized activity, sociality, and institutions are rooted in practice. The volume provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to this emerging area of study. Recognizing that a unified theory of practice does not exist, the book surveys the main scholarly traditions that have, collectively, contributed to the practice turn in social and organization studies. Each chapter examines the main assumptions and concepts of these traditions, discussing their distinctive contribution to work and organization studies. The chapters are accompanied by a fully worked example of how the theory can be applied to empirical research, making the text suitable for teaching purposes. The book will constitute a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in organization studies and management, and scholars across disciplines who are interested to know more about the topic.

Harvard University Press The Psychoanalytic Mind: From Freud to Philosophy
Cavell elaborates the view, traceable from Wittgenstein to Davidson, that there is no thought, and thus no meaning, without language, and shows how this concurs with psychoanalytic theory and practice. Cavell's argument takes up several issues of continuing interest to both philosophers and psychoanalysts, including the explanation of action, especially irrational action, the concept of subjectivity, the minds of children, the genealogy of morals, and narration in "life stories."

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Heterodox Economics
Despite the important methodological critiques of the mainstream offered by heterodox economics, the dominant research method taught in heterodox programmes remains econometrics. This compelling handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to a range of alternative research methods, invaluable for analyzing the data prominent in heterodox studies.Providing a solid basis for a mixed methods approach to economic investigations, the expertly crafted contributions are split into three distinct sections: philosophical foundation and research strategy, research methods and data collection, and applications. Introductions to a host of invaluable methods such as survey, historical, ethnographic, experimental and mixed approaches, together with factor, cluster, complex, and social network analytics are complemented by descriptions of applications in practice. Practical and expansive, this handbook is highly pertinent for students and scholars of economics, particularly those dedicated to heterodox approaches, as it provides a solid reference for mixed methods not available in mainstream economics research methods courses.Contributors: V.

Yale University Press The Monastery and the Microscope: Conversations with the Dalai Lama on Mind, Mindfulness, and the Nature of Reality
An illuminating record of dialogues between the Dalai Lama and some of today’s most prominent scientists, philosophers, and contemplatives In 2013, during a historic six-day meeting at a Tibetan monastery in southern India, the Dalai Lama gathered with leading scientists, philosophers, and monks for in-depth discussions on the nature of reality, consciousness, and the human mind. This eye-opening book presents a record of those spirited and wide-ranging dialogues, featuring contributions from prominent scholars like Richard Davidson, Matthieu Ricard, Tania Singer, and Arthur Zajonc as they address such questions as: Does nature have a nature? Do you need a brain to be conscious? Can we change our minds and brains through meditation? Throughout, the contributors explore the exciting and sometimes surprising commonalities between Western scientific and Tibetan Buddhist methods of perceiving, investigating, and knowing. Part history, part state-of-the-field, part inspiration for the future, this book rigorously and accessibly explores what these two investigative traditions can teach each other, and what that can tell us about ourselves and the world.

Tate Publishing Another London
In the years between 1930 and 1980, some of the best-known photographers from around the world came to London and made its streets, buildings and communities their subject. For some, the British capital was to become home; for others it remained a foreign city, as enigmatic perhaps as any they had visited. Each brought their own distinctive perspective,subverting or perpetuating national stereotypes, seeking out the typical or the exotic, attempting to penetrate the fabled British reserve with their lens. Together their work creates a portrait of a great world city, changing and mutating, a restless and fascinating muse. This remarkable book, accompanying a major exhibition at Tate Britain in London's Olympic year, demonstrates the breadth and variety of the responses London provoked from visiting photographers during the period, from portraits to reportage, from social realism to whimsy and humour, the changes in their technique and attitude demonstrating developments in photography itself. Essays by selected critics will address both the photographers' contributions and the history of London. Artists represented feature some of the greatest names in twentieth century photography, including Eve Arnold, Dorothy Bohm, Bill Brandt, Henri-Cartier Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Elliot Erwitt, Robert Frank, Leonard Freed, Emil Hoppe,Inge Morath, Dora Maar, Irving Penn, Willy Ronis and Al Vandenberg.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Reading Rorty: Critical Responses to Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature and Beyond
In "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" Richard Rorty presented his vision of post-philosophical culture, calling upon professional philosophers to accept that epistemology is dead, that the analytic method is a myth, and that philosophy and science are merely forms of literature. This volume is an examination of the conclusions drawn by Richard Rorty. Discussions, by philosophers such as W.V. Cline, Donald Davidson, Bernard Williams, Charles Taylor, John Yolton and Martin Hollis, cover Rorty's views on truth, language, knowledge and the self, together with his pragmatism, his "continental turn" and his regard for the literary potential of philosophical writing.

Columbia University Press Media of Reason: A Theory of Rationality
Matthias Vogel challenges the belief, dominant in contemporary philosophy, that reason is determined solely by our discursive, linguistic abilities as communicative beings. In his view, the medium of language is not the only force of reason. Music, art, and other nonlinguistic forms of communication and understanding are also significant. Introducing an expansive theory of mind that accounts for highly sophisticated, penetrative media, Vogel advances a novel conception of rationality while freeing philosophy from its exclusive attachment to linguistics. Vogel's media of reason treats all kinds of understanding and thought, propositional and nonpropositional, as important to the processes and production of knowledge and thinking. By developing an account of rationality grounded in a new conception of media, he raises the profile of the prelinguistic and nonlinguistic dimensions of rationality and advances the Enlightenment project, buffering it against the postmodern critique that the movement fails to appreciate aesthetic experience. Guided by the work of Jurgen Habermas, Donald Davidson, and a range of media theorists, including Marshall McLuhan, Vogel rebuilds, if he does not remake, the relationship among various forms of media-books, movies, newspapers, the Internet, and television-while offering an original and exciting contribution to media theory.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Holocaust in Norwegen: Registrierung, Deportation, Vernichtung
Das Buch stellt die erste wissenschaftliche Monografie ëber den Holocaust in Norwegen dar. Es zeichnet die Entwicklung der antijëdischen Politik, die Verfolgung und Ausrottung der Juden in Norwegen vom Anfang der deutschen Besatzung bis zum Kriegsende nach.Nach dem Einmarsch deutscher Truppen in Norwegen im April 1940, der Ernennung des Reichskommissars Josef Terboyen und der "Nationalen Vereinigung" unter Parteichef Vidkun Quisling zur einzigen legalen Partei, fëhrten die Besatzer nach anfänglichem Zögern eine gezielte antijëdische Gesetzgebung ein. Im Januar 1942 wurden systematisch Juden registriert. Im ganzen Land wurden sie anschließend terrorisiert und von lokalen Gestapo-Gruppierungen und norwegischen Nazi-Organisationen verfolgt. Einzelne Juden wurden verhaftet und später deportiert. Systematisch vom Rest der Bevölkerung wurden sie jedoch nicht getrennt, auch der "Davidstern" wurde nicht eingefëhrt.Im Februar 1942 fëhrte Vidkun Quisling nach seiner Ernennung zum Fëhrer einer sogenannten "Nationalregierung" das Judenverbot von 1814 wieder ein. Im Herbst 1942 wurden sowohl die Besatzer als auch die Kollaborateure zunehmend ungeduldig in Bezug auf die "Judenfrage". Wie sie daher in der Folge agierten, unterschied sich jedoch vom Vorgehen der Nationalsozialisten im Rest Westeuropas. Warum war das so? Und wie haben die Täter - Deutsche und Norweger - zusammengearbeitet, um ihr Ziel zu erreichen? Diese und weitere Fragen beantwortet der Autor und gibt dabei gleichzeitig auch den Opfern eine Stimme.

Overcoming the Neutral Zone Trap challenges hockey’s norms, pushes its boundaries, and provides new ways of conceptualizing its role in North American culture.

By exposing assumptions about hockey culture, Overcoming the Neutral Zone Trap opens up critical discussions of previously underexplored topics as they relate to the women’s game, Indigenous participation, viable career pathways, masculine identities, hockey parents, mental health, and social media.

Globe Pequot Press Terror on the Santa Fe Trail: Kit Carson and the Jicarilla Apache
In the 1840s and 50s, the Jicarilla Apache were the terror of the Santa Fe Trail and the Rio Arriba. They repeatedly clashed with the cavalry and raided wagon trains, and there was bad blood between the band and the Army after the Battle of San Pasqual, when they were on opposite sides during the Mexican American War. In 1854, as traffic was on the increase along the historic trade route, the Jicarilla soundly defeated the 1st United States Dragoons in the Battle of Cieneguilla. Cieneguilla was the worst defeat of the US Army in the West up to that time, and it was just one of the first major battles between the US Army and Apache forces during the Ute Wars. According to one version of events, the 60 dragoons, under the direction of a Lt. Davidson, had engaged in an unauthorized attack on theJicarilla while they were out on patrol. Others claimed that the Jicarilla either ambushed the Army or taunted them into attack. Kit Carson, who was agent for the Jicarilla, would defend Davidson’s actions—and after this fight, he served as a scout against the Jicarilla. Much like the Sioux defeat of Custer at Little Big Horn, the Jicarilla’s victory over the Army led to retribution and disaster. The Jicarilla were defeated and faded from memory before the Civil War. These are the events that brought them to ruin.

As a companion to Volume 10 ("Entrepreneurial Strategic Processes"), Volume 11 identifies several strategic dilemmas and strategic choices that organizations face in their efforts to be more entrepreneurial. Top researchers from a diverse set of perspectives - including Saras Sarasvathy, Per Davidsson, Tom Dean, and Kaye Schoonhoven - have contributed their latest research on a variety of topics such as celebrity entrepreneurship, innovation in traditionally conservative settings (banking and the military) and acquisitions as an entrepreneurial growth strategy. The strategic implications of tax policy and the importance of knowledge management and human resources management to the success of entrepreneurial strategies are also highlighted. The last two chapters constitute a spirited debate between researchers with sharply different views about the role of individual versus collective effort to entrepreneurial progress and success. Volume 11 identifies important strategic alternatives that entrepreneurial companies use to optimize performance and provides valuable insights into how organizations of all types use entrepreneurial strategies to achieve competitive advantages.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Heterodox Economics
Despite the important methodological critiques of the mainstream offered by heterodox economics, the dominant research method taught in heterodox programmes remains econometrics. This compelling handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to a range of alternative research methods, invaluable for analyzing the data prominent in heterodox studies.Providing a solid basis for a mixed methods approach to economic investigations, the expertly crafted contributions are split into three distinct sections: philosophical foundation and research strategy, research methods and data collection, and applications. Introductions to a host of invaluable methods such as survey, historical, ethnographic, experimental and mixed approaches, together with factor, cluster, complex, and social network analytics are complemented by descriptions of applications in practice. Practical and expansive, this handbook is highly pertinent for students and scholars of economics, particularly those dedicated to heterodox approaches, as it provides a solid reference for mixed methods not available in mainstream economics research methods courses.Contributors: V.

Rowman & Littlefield Content and Comportment: On Embodiment and the Epistemic Availability of the World
In this ambitious and compelling book, Michael O'Donovan-Anderson argues that the answer to some long-standing questions in epistemology and metaphysics lies in taking up the neglected question of the role of our bodily activity in establishing connections between representational states—knowledge and belief in particular—and their objects in the world. O'Donovan-Anderson uses ideas from both analytic philosophers (Frege, Dummett, Davidson, and Evans) and continental philosophers (Heidegger and his commentators and critics) to bring together these two approaches in a unique and effective way. Content and Comportment is an important contribution to the literature on embodiment, and will be of great interest to epistemologists and philosophers in both the continental and analytic traditions.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But his hopes for a quiet school term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously? These adult editions with glorious jacket art by Andrew Davidson are now available in hardback for the first time.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Studien zum Matthäusevangelium
Der Sammelband enthält zwischen den Jahren 2003 und 2015 entstandene Aufsätze von Matthias Konradt zu Fragen der historischen Situierung des Matthäusevangeliums und der matthäischen Theologie. Die Aufsätze sind in drei Rubriken gegliedert. Im ersten Teil "Matthäus im Kontext" wird zum einen das Verhältnis der matthäischen Gemeinde(n) zum Judentum erörtert; zum anderen werden zentrale Fragen des theologiegeschichtlichen Standorts des Matthäusevangeliums innerhalb des entstehenden Christentums diskutiert, indem das Matthäusevangelium als ein judenchristlicher Gegenentwurf zum Markusevangelium eingeordnet, die These einer antipaulinischen Ausrichtung kritisch geprüft und das Verhältnis zum Jakobusbrief und zur Didache thematisiert wird. Die Aufsätze in der zweiten Rubrik kreisen um die in der matthäischen Theologie eng miteinander zusammenhängenden Themen der Christologie (wie Davidsohnschaft, königliche Züge der Messianologie, Taufe des Gottessohnes) und der Israeltheologie (Verhältnis von Sendung zu Israel und Völkermission, Deutung der Zerstörung Jerusalems). Der dritte Teil versammelt - neben einer Studie zur Rede vom Glauben in Heilungsgeschichten - Arbeiten zu grundlegenden Aspekten matthäischer Ethik, namentlich zur Bedeutung der Tora und zur Gesetzesinterpretation (Dekalog, Vergeltungsverzicht und Feindesliebe) sowie zum in Mt 18 dargebotenen Gemeinschaftsethos und zu Mitleid und Barmherzigkeit als ethischer Haltung.Neben bereits veröffentlichten Aufsätzen, die für diesen Sammelband durchgesehen, aktualisiert und z.T. erheblich überarbeitet wurden, bietet der Band auch Studien, die hier zum ersten Mal erscheinen.
