Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

Mary Ainsworth’s work on the importance of maternal sensitivity for the development of infant attachment security is widely recognized as one of the most revolutionary and influential contributions to developmental psychology in the 20th century. Her longitudinal studies of naturalistic mother-infant interactions in Uganda and Baltimore played a pivotal role in the formulation and acceptance of attachment theory as a new paradigm with implications for developmental personality social and clinical psychology. The chapters in this volume collectively reveal not only the origins and depth of her conceptualizations and the originality of her assessment methods but also the many different ways in which her ideas about maternal sensitivity continue to inspire innovative research and clinical applications in Western and non-Western cultures. The contributors are leading attachment researchers including some of Mary Ainsworth’s most influential students and colleagues who have taken time to step back from their day to day research and reflect on the significance of the work she initiated and the challenges inherent in assessing parental sensitivity during naturalistic interactions in infancy and beyond. This volume makes Ainsworth’s pioneering conceptual and methodological breakthroughs and their continuing research and clinical impact accessible to theorists researchers and mental health specialists. This book was originally published as a special issue of Attachment & Human Development. | Maternal Sensitivity Mary Ainsworth's Enduring Influence on Attachment Theory Research and Clinical Applications

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

This title was first published in 2001. These collected essays by Patricia Cox Miller identify new possibilities of meaning in the study of religion in late antiquity. The book addresses the topic of the imaginative mindset of late ancient authors from a variety of Greco-Roman religious traditions. Attending to the play of language as well as to the late ancient sensitivity to image metaphor and paradox Cox Miller's work highlights the poetizing sensibility that marked many of the texts of this period and draws on methods of interpretation from a variety of contemporary literary-critical theories. This book will appeal to scholars of late antiquity religious literature and literary critical theory more widely illustrating how fruitful dialogue across the centuries can be - not only in eliciting aspects of late ancient texts that have gone unnoticed but also in showing that many 'modern' ideas such as Roland Barthes' were actually already alive and well in ancient texts. | The Poetry of Thought in Late Antiquity Essays in Imagination and Religion

Caravans Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe

Caravans Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe

In Caravans Hege Høyer Leivestad opens the caravan door to understand how daily life is organised among Britons and Swedes who have relocated either seasonally or permanently to mobile homes. Leivestad investigates how the caravan and campsite come to fit and challenge conventional domestic ideals and how the static mobile caravan can nurture ideas of freedom even when it is standing still. With sensitivity and an awareness of the humour and pathos of the lives of her subjects Leivestad closely examines the shaping of the European camping phenomenon and its day-to-day pleasures and pains ranging from friendships ties to conflictive bingo nights from nosy and noisy neighbours to fake fireplaces and rotten awning floors. As the first ethnographic study of caravan life in Europe Caravans offers a refreshing take on contemporary mobility debates showing how movement can best be understood by taking a detailed look at certain specific mundanities in material culture. This rich and topical ethnography is a must-read for students of anthropology human geography and architecture and for those with an interest in the possibilities and perils of a life on wheels. | Caravans Lives on Wheels in Contemporary Europe

Finance Innovation and Geography Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology

Finance Innovation and Geography Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology

The overarching aim of Finance Innovation and Geography: Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology is to explore linkages between geographies of finance and relational geographies of innovation. This is achieved by questioning how investment activities affect the unfolding of innovations and in turn are affected by it. This book focuses on biotechnology innovation processes from the perspective of relational economic geography. It reconstructs the unfolding in time and space of eight innovations in German biotechnology. Each one is represented in a qualitative case study. The analysis focuses on the relational work of building transforming ending and replacing of collaborative relationships and organizational arrangements surrounding emergent innovations ・ including investment relations and relational work by investors. In this way the contribution of investors to unfolding innovations is studied with sensitivity to context and situated interactions. The geography of these dynamics is conceptualized by drawing on the recent literature on relational proximity and distance as well as ideas of materiality and space. This book provides a unique perspective and shows that innovation paths are strongly interwoven with local and temporary opportunities as well as crises and that investment is embedded in these dynamics. This is essential reading for students and academics of both economics and innovation. | Finance Innovation and Geography Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology

Sin: Essays on the Moral Tradition in the Western Middle Ages

Sin: Essays on the Moral Tradition in the Western Middle Ages

Richard Newhauser examines here aspects of the moral tradition of medieval thought specifically the construction of the seven deadly sins their offspring and related schematizations of immorality in the Latin West. The emphasis in these studies is on the malleability of moral categories their relationship to changes in medieval culture and the creativity and sensitivity of the thinkers who made use of the concepts of sinfulness in the Middle Ages. The first section examines the contexts in which the seven deadly sins (or nine accessory sins) are found in medieval Latin English and German texts and in particular the genre of the treatise on vices and virtues as the major vehicle in which concepts of immorality were examined and presented to a variety of audiences for meditative or pastoral purposes. The second section deals with one of the more interesting of the seven deadly sins avarice in its penitential literary apocalyptic and institutional contexts as its definition changed slowly with developing commercial experiences in medieval Europe. In the last section the breadth of the concept of a sinful curiosity is examined and its historical development is delineated in the thought of Augustine of Hippo and the early Cistercians. | Sin: Essays on the Moral Tradition in the Western Middle Ages

The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing Volume I: Development

The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing Volume I: Development introduces the many voices necessary to better understand the act of singing—a complex human behaviour that emerges without deliberate training. Presenting research from the social sciences and humanities alongside that of the natural sciences and medicine alike this companion explores the relationship between hearing sensitivity and vocal production in turn identifying how singing is integrated with sensory and cognitive systems while investigating the ways we test and measure singing ability and development. Contributors consider the development of singing within the context of the entire lifespan focusing on its cognitive social and emotional significance in four parts: Musical historical and scientific foundations Perception and production Multimodality Assessment In 2009 the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada funded a seven-year major collaborative research initiative known as Advancing Interdisciplinary Research in Singing (AIRS). Together global researchers from a broad range of disciplines addressed three challenging questions: How does singing develop in every human being? How should singing be taught and used to teach? How does singing impact wellbeing? Across three volumes The Routledge Companion to Interdisciplinary Studies in Singing consolidates the findings of each of these three questions defining the current state of theory and research in the field. Volume I: Development tackles the first of these three questions tracking development from infancy through childhood to adult years.

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The anxiety over death persists in everyday life- though often denied or repressed- lingering as an unconscious worry or intuition that typically seems to compromise one’s feelings of well-being and experience in a range of areas; coming out often as malaise depression and anger in much conduct. If one accepts the cliché that life is preparation for death we must accept that the lived experience of the dying body is not highlighted merely in obvious cases of deterioration such as in the ageing or diseased body but in everyday life as a normal phenomenon. This book proposes that sensitivity to this dimension can empower us to develop creative relationships to the vulnerability of others and to ourselves as well. Part One lays the groundwork for a study of the ways the aura and fear of death recurs as a constant premonition in life and how people try to deal with this uneasiness. Part Two then goes on to apply this focus to particular concerns and problems such as dementia depression aging retirement and a range of anxieties frustrations and aggressions. The Dying Body as Lived Experience will be of interest to a wide interdisciplinary audience in the health sciences in the sociology of health and illness philosophy bioethics and in the expanding field of medical humanities. | The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

Ontopolitics in the Anthropocene An Introduction to Mapping Sensing and Hacking

Ontopolitics in the Anthropocene An Introduction to Mapping Sensing and Hacking

The Anthropocene captures more than a debate over how to address the problems of climate change and global warming. Increasingly it is seen to signify the end of the modern condition itself and potentially to open up a new era of political possibilities. This is the first book to look at the new forms of governance emerging in the epoch of the Anthropocene. Forms of rule which seek to govern without the handrails of modernist assumptions of ‘command and control’ from the top-down; taking on board new ontopolitical understandings of the need to govern on the grounds of non-linearity complexity and entanglement. The book is divided into three parts each focusing on a distinct mode or understanding of governance: Mapping Sensing and Hacking. Mapping looks at attempts to govern through designing adaptive interventions into processes of interaction. Sensing considers ways of developing greater real time sensitivity to changes in relations often deploying new technologies of Big Data and the Internet of Things. Hacking analyses the development of ways of ‘becoming with’ working to recomposition and reassemble relations in new and creative forms. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international politics international security and international relations theory and those interested in critical theory and the way this is impacted by contemporary developments. | Ontopolitics in the Anthropocene An Introduction to Mapping Sensing and Hacking

Erotic Geographies in Ancient Greek Literature and Culture

Erotic Geographies in Ancient Greek Literature and Culture

Erotic Geographies in Ancient Greek Literature and Culture addresses the following question: how does a place get a reputation? The Athenians associated sexual behaviors with particular places and their inhabitants and this book decodes the meaning of the sexualization of place and traces the repercussions of these projections. Focusing on Corinth Sparta and Lesbos each section starts from the fact that there were comic joke words that made a verb out of a place name to communicate a sexual slur. Corinth was thought of as a hotbed of prostitution; Sparta was perceived as a hyper-masculine culture that made femininity a problem; Lesbos had varying historically determined connotations but was always associated with uninhibited and adventurous sexuality. The cultural beliefs encoded in these sexualized stereotypes are unpacked. These findings are then applied to close readings ultimately demonstrating how sensitivity to the erotics of place enables new interpretations of well-known texts. In the process of moving from individual word to culture to text Erotic Geographies recovers a complex mode of identity construction illuminating the workings of the Athenian imaginary as well as the role of discourse in shaping subjectivity. Gilhuly brings together a deep engagement with the robust scholarly literature on sex and gender in Classics with the growing interest in cultural geography in a way that has never been done before.
