Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject Towards Alternative Traditions and Identity

Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject Towards Alternative Traditions and Identity

This book offers an intervention into the process of decolonization through the re-subjectification of the settler subject. The authors draw on what Deleuze and Guattari call minor threads of philosophy pedagogy spirituality and healing practices rooted in neglected lineages of European thought and ceremony. The book proposes a methodology for unontologizing the settler subject which they term desettlering. Rather than fetishizing indigenous theory and practice as a mode for resubjectifying settlers to facilitate land-based decolonization it offers a fresh approach by looking toward alternative sets of traditions and identities. These alternatives are used to interrogate minoritarian European philosophies practices and beliefs which the authors propose could be deployed to unontologize the settler within current historical conditions. Asserting that such a process is not volitional but a historical necessity the book offers a novel and timely investigation into who settlers become if they intend to engage seriously in decolonization. It will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and researchers in psychological science social psychology counseling philosophy indigenous studies and sociology. | Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject Towards Alternative Traditions and Identity

This book explores contemporary debates on decolonisation and indigenisation of social work in Africa and provides readers with alternative models values and epistemologies for reimagining social work practice and education that can be applicable to a wide range of countries struggling with similar concerns. It examines how indigenisation without decolonisation is just tokenistic since it is concerned with adapting modifying Western models to fit local contexts or generating local models to integrate into the already predominantly contextually irrelevant and culturally inappropriate mainstream Western social work in Africa. By exploring decolonisation which calls for dismantling colonialism and colonial thinking to create central space for indigenous social work as mainstream social work especially in Africa it goes beyond tokenistic decolonisation to articulate some of the indigenous social work practice and social policy models values ethics and oral epistemologies that should take centre stage as locally relevant and culturally appropriate social work in Africa. It also addresses the question of decolonising research methodologies highlighting some of the methods embedded in African indigenous perspectives for adoption when researching African social work. The book has been written with both the coloniser/colonised in mind and it will be of interest to all social work academics students and practitioners and others interested in gaining insights into how colonisation persists in social work and why it is necessary to find ways to disrupt it. | Decolonising and Reimagining Social Work in Africa Alternative Epistemologies and Practice Models

Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

This book expands the current axiology of theism literature by assessing the axiological status of alternative conceptions of God and the divine.

This volume features essays from prominent philosophers of religion ethicists and metaphysicians addressing the value impact of alternative views such as ultimism polytheism pantheism panentheism and idealism. Additionally it reflects a wider trend in analytic philosophy of religion to broaden its scope beyond the Judeo-Christian tradition. Value Beyond Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of religion ethics and metaphysics. | Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

Decline and Reimagination in Cinematic New York

Decline and Reimagination in Cinematic New York

Decline and Reimagination in Cinematic New York examines the cinematic representation of New York from the mid-1960s through the mid-1980s placing the dominant discourse of urban decline in dialogue with marginal perspectives that reimagine the city along alternative paths as a resilient adaptive and endlessly inspiring place. Drawing on mainstream independent documentary and experimental films the book offers a multifaceted account of the power of film to imagine the city’s decline and reimagine its potential. The book analyzes how filmmakers mobilized derelict space and various articulations of “nature” as settings and signifiers that decenter traditional understandings of the city to represent New York alternately as a desolate wasteland a hostile wilderness a refuge and playground for outcasts a home to resilient and resourceful communities a studio for artistic experimentation an arcadia conducive to alternative social arrangements and a complex ecosystem. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of film studies media studies urban cinema urban studies and eco-cinema.

Maximum Government Maximum Governance Reframing India’s Macroeconomic Discourse

Maximum Government Maximum Governance Reframing India’s Macroeconomic Discourse

Austerity fiscal consolidation fiscal discipline and fiscal deficit targets have become the buzzwords of contemporary macroeconomic policy. By tracing the history of macroeconomic schools of thought Maximum Government Maximum Governance explores the origins essence shortcomings and deception of mainstream neoliberal macroeconomics. Arguing that economies are financially constrained neoliberal macro­economics dislodged full employment as the target of policy replacing it with a low and stable inflation target. Monetary policy under the control of an independent central bank became the primary instrument to assist free and globalized markets to propel economies towards full employment. How­ever the global financial crisis of 2008 and rising inequalities of income and wealth in the last decade within and across economies has led to rise of nationalist-populist leaders in many parts of the world. Although neoliberal economics has been put under the scanner by these leaders their actions seem reactionary and without a coherent understanding of alternative schools of economic thought. An alternative based on sound economic reasoning and institutional realities is required to challenge neoliberal and arbitrary populist policies. Based on an introductory analysis of Modern Money Theory (MMT) this book seeks to present an alternative viewpoint on macroeconomics and macroeconomic policy to address the challenges of economic growth un­employment and inequality. While adherents of MMT are convinced of its robustness the challenge is to reframe macroeconomic discourse which must essentially reject the notion that an economy is financially constrained and instead turn the spotlight on real resource and governance constraints.
