Shakespeare Studies Today - E. Pechter - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare Studies Today - E. Pechter - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Romantics invented Shakespeare studies, and in losing contact with our origins, we have not been able to develop an adequate alternative foundation on which to build our work. This book asserts that among Shakespeareans at present, the level of conviction required to sustain a healthy critical practice is problematically if not dangerously low, and the qualities which the Romantics valued in an engagement with Shakespeare are either ignored these days or fundamentally misunderstood.

Applied Theatre and Sexual Health Communication - Katharine E. Low - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Applied Theatre and Sexual Health Communication - Katharine E. Low - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses the partnership between applied theatre and sexual health communication in a theatre-making project in Nyanga, a township in South Africa. By examining the bridges and schisms between the two fields as they come together in the project, an alternative way of approaching sexual health communication is advocated. This alternative considers what it is that applied theatre does, and could become, in this context. Moments of value which lie around the margins of the practice emerge as opportunities that can be overlooked. These somewhat ephemeral, intangible moments, which appear on the edges, are described as ''apertures of possibility'' and occur when one takes a step back and realises something unnoticed in the moment. This book offers an invitation to pause and notice the seemingly insignificant moments that often occurs tangentially to the practice. The book also calls for more outcry about sexual health and sexual violence, arguing for theatre-making as a route to multitudes of voices, nuanced understandings, and diverse spaces in which discussions of sexuality and sexual health are shared, felt, and experienced.

Cinema Anime - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Cinema Anime - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This collection charts the terrain of contemporary Japanese animation, one of the most explosive forms of visual culture to emerge at the crossroads of transnational cultural production in the last twenty-five years. The essays offer bold and insightful engagement with anime''s concerns with gender identity, anxieties about body mutation and technological monstrosity, and apocalyptic fantasies. The contributors dismantle the distinction between "high" and "low" culture and offer compelling arguments for the value and importance of the study of anime and popular culture as a key link in the translation from the local to the global.

Science and the Building of a New Japan - M. Low - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Science and the Building of a New Japan - M. Low - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book highlights the importance of individuals in the shaping of postwar Japan by providing an historical account of how physicists constituted an influential elite. An history of science perspective provides insight into their role, helping us to understand the hybrid identity of Japanese scientists, and how they reinvented not only themselves, but also Japan. The book is special in that it uses the history of science to deal with issues relating to Japanese identity, and how it was transformed in the decades after Japan''s defeat. It explores the lives and work of seven physicists, two of whom were Nobel prize winners. It makes use of little-known Occupation period documents, personal papers of physicists, and Japanese language source material.

The Shrinking American Middle Class - Joseph Dillon Davey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Shrinking American Middle Class - Joseph Dillon Davey - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The United States lost one third of its factory jobs in the past decade as jobs were outsourced offshore, mostly to Asia. Jobs that require a college degree are next to go. China will award six times as many degrees this year as they did ten years ago and any job that can be digitized will be ''tradable''. Estimates of the number of vulnerable jobs range from a low 11 million to a staggering 56 million ''middle class'' jobs. The median United States household income has already dropped by seven percent since 2000 and without dramatic changes in the American workforce that trend will become a disaster for middle class Americans.

Intellectual Disability and Stigma - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Intellectual Disability and Stigma - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines how intellectual disability is affected by stigma and how this stigma has developed. Around two per cent of the world''s population have an intellectual disability but their low visibility in many places bears witness to their continuing exclusion from society. This prejudice has an impact on the family of those with an intellectual disability as well as the individual themselves and affects the well-being and life chances of all those involved. This book provides a framework for tackling intellectual disability stigma in institutional processes, media representations and other, less overt, settings. It also highlights the anti-stigma interventions which are already in place and the central role that self-advocacy must play.

Employment and Re-Industrialisation in Post Soeharto Indonesia - Anis Chowdhury - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Employment and Re-Industrialisation in Post Soeharto Indonesia - Anis Chowdhury - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book studies the challenges for Indonesia, once a miracle economy, as it faces premature deindustrialisation, rising inequality and domestic and external factors impacting its export-oriented industrialization. Since the fall of Soeharto, Indonesia has undergone a far-reaching systemic transition from centralised and autocratic governance to a highly decentralised and democratic system. Complicated by regional variations, the country is now being called upon to respect labour rights and, amidst slow global economic recovery, is facing increased competition from other low-labour-cost countries, especially within the ASEAN Economic Community. Tadjoeddin and Chowdhury posit that Indonesia cannot recreate its past miracle based on cheap labour and suppression of labour rights. It will need to move quickly to high value-added activities driven by productivity growth and to develop its domestic market.

The Politics of Regulation in the UK - Daniel Fitzpatrick - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Politics of Regulation in the UK - Daniel Fitzpatrick - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the discourse of regulatory crisis in the UK and examines why, despite the increasing contestation of the principles underpinning the regulatory state, its institutions and practices continue to be firmly embedded within the governance of the British state. It considers its implications for our understanding of the contemporary nature of the British state, and to the study of regulation which is no longer confined to the domain of low politics, populated by technocrats, but is scrutinised by elected politicians, and the subject of the front pages rather than the financial pages. The author sets the British regulatory tradition in a wider context, both spatially, in terms of the challenges presented by Europeanisation, and temporally, critically analysing the process of crisis construction in the narratives of neoliberalism and participatory democracy in the contemporary era.

Beyond Headscarf Culture in Turkey’s Retail Sector - Feyda Sayan Cengiz - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Beyond Headscarf Culture in Turkey’s Retail Sector - Feyda Sayan Cengiz - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The headscarf issue draws a great deal of public and academic attention in Turkey, yet the debate largely unfolds within the contours of the discussions over modernization, Westernization, and the Islamic / secular divide. Rarely is there a discussion about how the connotations of the headscarf shift across cleavages of class and status among women wearing it. Instead, the headscarf is typically portrayed as a symbol of Islamic identity, a ''cover'' that brackets social inequalities other than those based on a supposed ''clash of identities.'' This study looks beyond these contours by contextualizing the headscarf discussion in an insecure and low-status private sector labor market - namely, retail sales. Based on in-depth interviews, focus groups with lower-middle-class saleswomen with headscarves, and ethnographic study in five cities of Turkey, this book argues that the meanings of the headscarf are continuously negotiated within the quest for social and economic security.

Social Movements and Their Technologies - Stefania Milan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Social Movements and Their Technologies - Stefania Milan - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Now in paperback for the first time, Social Movements and their Technologies explores the interplay between social movements and their 'liberated technologies'. It analyzes the rise of low-power radio stations and radical internet projects ('emancipatory communication practices') as a political subject, focusing on the sociological and cultural processes at play. It provides an overview of the relationship between social movements and technology, and investigates what is behind the communication infrastructure that made possible the main protest events of the past fifteen years. In doing so, Stefania Milan illustrates how contemporary social movements organize in order to create autonomous alternatives to communication systems and networks, and how they contribute to change the way people communicate in daily life, as well as try to change communication policy from the grassroots. She situates these efforts in a historical context in order to show the origins of contemporary communication activism, and its linkages to media reform campaigns and policy advocacy.
